Casper is a small male Chihuahua mix currently in Gainesville, VA. As a baby, he hasn’t reached adulthood yet. Although we don't have his exact weight or coat length, he’s expected to be a petite dog due to his Chihuahua roots. He is not yet house trained but will learn quickly with the right guidance. Casper’s vaccinations are up to date, and he is ready to find his forever home!

About Casper

Casper is ready to work his charms and find a forever family, leaving Texas behind for a new life in Millsboro, Delaware. This little guy is around 8 weeks old and will be arriving in his foster home the weekend of October 2. He’s mixed with Chihuahua and possibly some Australian Cattle Dog or Terrier traits, giving him a petite frame that only adds to his cuteness. As a baby, Casper carries all the typical puppy energy and is eager to explore the world around him. His future family should expect the usual puppy challenges: potty training, crate training, and socialization. Additionally, he gets along with both dogs and children, making him a great fit for a lively household. Since Casper is too young to be neutered at adoption, his new family will need to sign a spay/neuter contract, agreeing to have this done by around 6 months. Interested adopters should consider getting their applications approved early, ensuring a meet-and-greet as soon as he arrives. Don’t miss out on adopting this lovable puppy. He’s looking forward to his new adventure!
