Jack Russell Terrier and Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

Please read the entire description before applying. 

Meet Willa ( and her brother is Walker ) These two tiny pups weigh just 8 lbs at 3 1/2 months old. They are Chihuahua, Dachshund, and Jack Russell mixes who were surrendered to a shelter by a breeder after an unexpected litter. Their estimated adult weight is under 25 lbs.

We originally took in eight puppies from this litter, and all of their littermates have already been adopted. We’re now working to make room for the next dogs who urgently need rescue, which is why we’ve lowered this puppy’s adoption fee to $350. This amount barely covers our expenses, but it helps us keep saying yes to the dogs on our waiting list.

Walker and Willa love being held and adored. They are being raised in a caring foster home where they receive daily socialization and plenty of human interaction. Because of the cold weather, they’ve also been trained to use a litter box, which can make those first few days at home a little easier.

Adoption Requirements: 

A fenced‑in backyard suitable for a small dog (no invisible fences). If your condo or HOA does not allow fencing, we may consider your application on a case‑by‑case basis.
An adult who is home during the day and able to provide the time, supervision, and companionship a puppy needs.”
No crating for puppies. Adopters must use a puppy playpen, which provides a safe, contained space with room to move and reduces stress. We will share recommended options once your application is approved.
Children in the home must be 7 years or older. Younger children may be considered if they have grown up with a dog in the household.
Homes with no dogs or a small dog will be considered (no multi‑dog households).
All puppies are vet‑checked, vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, and have received heartworm and flea preventatives and are spayed/neutered. 

We require a $50 deposit to place a hold on a puppy once your application is approved. This helps prevent no‑shows and last‑minute cancellations, since preparing a puppy for an adoption appointment requires coordination with our foster homes. Your deposit is fully refundable if you attend your scheduled appointment, meet the puppy, and decide not to adopt. This policy ensures fairness to all approved adopters and helps us manage our time and foster resources responsibly.
