Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

Frankie | 3 yrs | 5.6 lbs | Chihuahua Mix

Rescued from a hoarding situation, Frankie has been thriving in foster care and is quickly learning that being someone’s whole world is the best thing ever.

Why you’ll love Frankie:
• Your personal shadow — he follows you everywhere
• Professional lap dog (must be invited, not placed )
• Sleeps on your pillow right next to your face
• Loves slow neck pets → instant sleepy mode
• Hilarious obsession with strong smells (yes… even your armpits)
• Tiny but vocal — he’ll always let you know what he needs!

The important stuff:
• Crate trained (and loves it — no crying!)
• Doing amazing with potty training
• Still learning toys, but squeaky ones = VERY exciting
• Prefers to walk himself — independent little man
• Good with cats
• Not a fan of big dogs. They're terrifying. → would do best as the only dog

Frankie may be a little shy the first day or two, but he warms up quickly and becomes deeply attached to his person. He’s looking for someone patient, loving, and ready for a constant companion.

If you want a tiny dog who will adore you, follow you everywhere, and keep you laughing daily… Frankie is your guy

************************
Frankie is located in a foster home. We are happy to coordinate a meet & greet for pre-approved adopters. To get started, please submit an adoption application at www.jasperslegacy.org/apply-to-adopt

Adoption process:
Potential adopters complete our online application. From there, we contact them to continue the screening process including checking references, vet checks, and a personal phone interview. Upon completion, potential adopters are pre-approved.

From there, potential adopters are put in touch with the foster parent(s) of the dog they are interested in adopting. If a specific dog is not in mind, admins will make suggestions based on who we feel will be good candidates for their home. We take the foster's opinions into high consideration when determining ideal fit for an adoption.

Once the dog is determined to be a good fit for the adoptive home, the adopter is given advisement on decompression, training, safety gear, and future preventative vetting. The adoption contract is signed and adoption fee paid to finalize the adoption.

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.
