About Jasper

Meet Jasper! Jasper is a charming Chihuahua/Labrador mix at just 5–6 months old. This unique combination comes from a situation where he was found alongside other strays, living in difficult conditions in scorching South Texas heat. Thankfully, Jasper and a couple of his siblings have been rescued and are now getting a fresh start in a loving foster home. He’s sweet, playful, and wonderful with other dogs. While Jasper is generally friendly with people, he may initially be a bit shy. A little patience will go a long way in helping him open up and show you just how affectionate he can be. Given his gentle demeanor, we believe he would thrive in a home with children. We estimate Jasper will weigh about 30–50 pounds when fully grown and has a short coat that will be easy to maintain. Jasper is spayed and vaccinated, ready for a permanent home where he’ll feel safe and loved. Transport is available, so he can be adopted from Brownsville, TX, to anywhere you are.
