Jacob - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Saint Marys, Pennsylvania

Jacob is an approximately 4 year old, Chihuahua mix. In July 2026, he and several others were brought to the shelter due to an overcrowding situation. Jacob is neutered, updated on his vaccinations, flea treated, dewormed, and microchipped.

This poor little guy had a very rough start in life and is still getting used to human attention. He's looking for a family that won't mind giving him the extra time he may need to learn to trust them. Once he does, he's sure to bloom into a wonderful lap dog.

Jacob is used to living with other dogs. He will need some additional work on his housetraining.

If you are interested in adopting Jacob, please fill out an adoption application using our website (echumanesociety.org) and a member of staff will be in touch with you as soon as possible. You are also more than welcome to stop in anytime during our regular business hours and meet Jacob in person! Feel free to call the shelter at (814) 834-3247 if you have any questions.
