About Jasper WI

Meet Jasper, a sweet senior dog navigating some major life changes. Along with his sister Claire, he's recently come into rescue after their owner sadly passed away. Jasper is a small black Chihuahua-Dachshund mix, weighing about 10 pounds. He’s a bit more nervous than Claire, who is a tan 7-pound companion. These two are clearly bonded and provide each other comfort. Adopting seniors can be challenging, especially considering their close bond and Jasper's striking black coat, which often makes it harder to find homes. They deserve a loving environment where they can stay together. Currently fostered in Waco, Texas, Jasper and Claire can be transported to a nearby city for an additional fee. If you feel you could offer this darling duo a forever home, they are ready for love. Click apply to start the adoption process.
