Meet the Chihuahua / Jack Russell Mix Cutie Crew!

This cutie pie is Olive!

These 5 adorable Chihuahua / Jack Russell mix puppies are about 8 weeks old and bursting with personality, wiggles, and puppy kisses. Their owner reached out to Whiskers Fund to responsibly surrender the puppies and get help with spay and neuter services for mom and dad, giving everyone the best possible start.

This spunky little mix is known for being smart, affectionate, and full of fun. These pups are still babies, so they’re just beginning to learn things like potty training, crate training, and good manners — perfect blank slates for loving homes ready to guide them as they grow.

Adopt, don’t shop — and help give these deserving puppies the loving homes they’re waiting for.

The adoption fee is $550. We do not accept deposits or the adoption fee until you have met your new furbaby and are ready to bring them home.

Important Information:
All of our animals are fully vetted before going to their furever homes. They are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, dewormed, up to date on flea/tick prevention, heartworm prevention, and microchipped!

You must be an approved adopter in order to go on meet and greets. This saves everyone’s time- especially our gracious foster families! This also allows for you to take the animals home from the meet and greet if you so choose.

We are very quick to respond and process applications! All animals are posted until they have gone home to their new family. This animal may have other interested adopters in line. Please apply quickly and be prepared to welcome them into your home within a few days if you are interested.

The Adoption Process:
After our volunteers receive the application, they contact the potential adopter to set up an interview. During the interview they will:
   •    discuss the animal the adopter is applying to adopt,
   •    talk to the adopter about their experience with animals,
   •    find out more about the type of animal the adopter is looking to adopt,
   •    go over any questions the rescue may have regarding your application,
   •    help find the perfect fit for the adopter's family and lifestyle,
   •    and answer any questions the adopter has about the animal they are looking to adopt, the rescue, and how the adoption process works.

As part of the approval process, we require 2 non-family personal references. Our volunteers contact both references and have conversations regarding the potential adopter. If we are unable to reach the references provided, additional references may be requested. We also require a vet check. We will call the vet to conduct a short reference check. 

A video walk-through of the adopter's home (and yard, if adopting a dog) is also required. The safety of our animals is one of our top priorities. They deserve to have a safe and secure place to live. The video can be sent to the Whiskers Fund email address or Facebook messenger upon submitting your application. When submitting the video, please reference which animal(s) you are applying to adopt. 

Once the adopter is approved and matched with an animal, we will make arrangements for the animal to go to their new home. We hope to have each animal in their new home within a week. We are very clear that we will be keeping in touch and checking in for updates.
