About Jasper RI

Meet Jasper, the black 10-pound senior dog with a heart full of love. He recently entered the rescue alongside Claire, his tan 7-pound companion, after losing their owner. Jasper is a bit on the shy side, finding comfort in Claire's presence. Both dogs are well-cared for and, because they are likely bonded, the goal is to find them a forever home together. While adopting seniors can be challenging, especially in pairs, these two deserve a warm, loving environment after their recent loss. Black dogs often face adoption hurdles, making it even more crucial for them to find a caring home. Nationwide transport is available for an additional fee, making it easier for adopters across the country. Can you open your heart and home to this sweet duo? Don't miss the chance to give Jasper and Claire the love they need during their golden years. Click apply to start the adoption process.
