About Travis

Meet Travis, a charming 12-year-old Chihuahua looking for a new home. Weighing only 6 pounds, this tiny companion came to us when his owner's health declined. Travis is sweet, calm, and walks well on a leash, often prancing along with delight. He’s reportedly housetrained and does well with other dogs; however, we can assess how he feels about cats if needed. Recently, he received a dental cleaning, and his teeth look fantastic! Travis just wants to snuggle and be near people, making him a lovely companion for someone who is home during the day. He’s neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and in great health. Though his senior adoption fee is typically $240, it’s waived during our Halloween promo! If you’re ready to give Travis a warm home, complete an online application or visit us in person. He’s eager to meet you!
