About Jasper CO

Meet Jasper, a gentle soul with a mix of Chihuahua and Dachshund, and his beloved companion Claire. These two seniors, estimated to be around 7-8 years old, found themselves in the care of the shelter after experiencing a tragic loss. Jasper, weighing about 10 pounds and sporting a sleek black coat, is the more anxious of the duo, often seeking comfort from Claire, the 7-pound tan sweetheart. Their strong bond means they need to be adopted together, making them a perfect pair for someone ready to open their heart. It’s often tougher to find homes for seniors, and being a bonded pair adds to the challenge. Black dogs especially face a longer wait for adoption, but Jasper and Claire deserve a loving home after all they’ve been through. They're currently in Waco, Texas, and we can transport them nationwide for a fee. Could you be the compassionate adopter who gives this special pair a second chance?
