About Jasper MI

Meet Jasper, a charming and nervous little guy who coexists with his companion Claire. They recently arrived at the rescue after losing their owner and are estimated to be around 7-8 years old. Jasper, the black Chihuahua-Dachshund mix, weighs about 10 pounds and seeks comfort in Claire, who is slightly smaller at 7 pounds and a tan color. They are both deeply affectionate and have received great care. Given their bond, they must be adopted together, making their situation a little tougher, especially considering senior pets often face challenges finding new homes. Black dogs often take even longer to find forever families. We have nationwide transport available, so we can bring them closer to potential adopters. Are you the special someone ready to offer a loving home to these deserving seniors? These two are currently in Waco, Texas, with an adoption fee of $250 each. Help us change their lives!
