Jasper Dachshund & Chihuahua Mix Santa Ana, CA

The adoption fees cover the mandatory and non-negotiable spay/neuter, rabies, microchip, microchip registration, core vaccinations including rabies and 4 sets of distemper/parvo and deworming. Jasper is five months old as of the end of July and currently weighs 6 pounds. The owner kept Jasper, his siblings, and his mom outside in a carrier in very low temperatures. Animal Control threatened to confiscate all of them if not removed within 48 hours. Poochmatch agreed to take the entire litter. Jasper is a happy-go-lucky, healthy, loving, playful, sociable puppy. He has a bright disposition and would make a lovely companion.

Puppies are not house-trained although they may have begun crate-training and/or potty pad training in their foster home, depending on their age. House-training is a process that will need to be completed by their adopter. Puppies, if left unsupervised and not redirected will develop negative behaviors such as using the restroom in the wrong place, chewing, barking, whining, etc. Please be sure to do research on raising a puppy and be sure that you are prepared to do so.
