About Jasper VA

Meet Jasper and his friend Claire, two senior dogs looking for a loving home together. Estimated at 7-8 years old, Jasper is the black Chihuahua-Dachshund mix, weighing about 10 pounds. He tends to be a bit shy and clings to Claire, a lighter 7-pound companion. These two come from a hard situation, having lost their owner, and it's clear they have a bond that we want to keep intact during adoption. Adopting seniors can be a challenge, especially for bonded pairs, and Jasper's black coat puts him at a higher risk of being overlooked. We believe they deserve a chance to live their golden years in comfort. Fostered in Waco, Texas, we can transport them to a major city for an additional fee. Is there someone who can open their heart to these deserving boys? Click apply to start the adoption process.
