About Sapphire

Meet Sweet Sapphire! She and her sisters, Scarlett and Samantha, started their journey on the streets of Stockton after being found abandoned in a box. Thankfully, they've been rescued and are now learning that people can be kind and loving. Although a bit shy at first, Sapphire is gradually becoming more confident and playful in her foster home. Sapphire, the shyest sister, possesses a gentle and loving personality. With a little patience, her sweet nature shines through. She is a Chiweenie—a mix of Chihuahua and Dachshund—mostly black with charming white markings. Born approximately April 3, 2026, she weighs 7.7 pounds. Like any puppy, she'll require guidance in house training and leash walking once fully vaccinated. With love and consistent positive reinforcement, Sapphire will blossom into a loyal companion. If you're ready for the joyful pitter-patter of puppy paws and the unconditional love a rescued puppy offers, Sapphire is eager to start her adventure with you. She will be spayed, microchipped, and age-appropriately vaccinated. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
