About Octavia

Meet Octavia, a 6-month-old rat terrier and Chihuahua mix weighing in at just 7 pounds. She was saved from a kill shelter in Texas, where she suffered from mange and lost most of her fur. Thanks to her dedicated foster mom and medical care, Octavia is now healthy, fluffy, and ready to find her forever home in Michigan! Octavia is playful and friendly, getting along well with both dogs and cats. She enjoys playtime but would thrive best in a home with respectful children who can be gentle with her small size. While a fenced yard would be nice, it’s not strictly necessary. Octavia loves to nap in your lap after a good play session, and she’s doing well with her potty training and is crate trained. Up to date on her vaccinations and microchipped, she'll be spayed soon. Her adoption fee is $350.00. Ready to make Octavia a part of your family? Click apply to start the adoption process.
