About Jasper CT

Meet Jasper, a charming little senior who found himself in a tough situation after his owner passed away. Estimated to be around 7-8 years old, Jasper is a 10-pound black mixed breed dog, likely a combination of Chihuahua and Dachshund. He has a nervous demeanor and sticks closely to his companion, Claire, who weighs 7 pounds and is tan. These two seem to be bonded, and they share a deep love that grew from being well cared for in their past. Jasper and Claire deserve a second chance at happiness, but they must be adopted together. It can be tough for seniors to find homes, especially bonded pairs like these, and black dogs often wait longer for adoption. This duo is currently fostered in Waco, Texas, with the promise of nationwide transport available to get them to loving homes. If you have room in your heart and home for this sweet pair, they could bring joy to your life. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
