About Jasper AK

Meet Jasper AK, a senior dog who's looking for a loving home alongside his best friend Claire. Jasper is a sweet black Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, weighing in at about 10 pounds. He tends to be a bit nervous but clings to Claire, a tan pup who is 7 pounds and brings him comfort. They’ve been through a lot after losing their owner and are currently a bonded pair. It’s important to adopt them together, as they provide each other with the emotional support they need. While adopting seniors can be a challenge, especially for a bonded pair, this duo deserves a second chance at happiness. They get along well with cats and have been in a loving home before this situation. Jasper and Claire are spayed and vaccinated. They are currently being fostered in Waco, TX, and can be transported to an adopter for an additional fee. Will you be the one to give this loving pair a new start?
