My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sapphire is a 2 year old, almost 10 lb Chihuahua mix,possibly mixed with Boston Terrier. 



She is up to date on shots,microchiped and spayed. She is on no medication.  Sapphire is a girl who takes a bit to warm up to her surroundings and feel safe. Once there she is a total goof ball. She loves to run and explore her inside and outside surroundings. 



She loves hard on her person and her perfect life would be to be with her person or persons all the time.  Sapphire would do well with a family who likes walks or hikes. She is not completely house trained but very close. She likes other dogs and doesn't seem to mind cats. She is active and needs a fenced yard and daily outdoor activities to run around and let her energy out.  She would love to have a play mate to pal around with and learn from. She is very smart and learns quickly.  She rides well in the car and likes a good chew to close her night out. 



Sapphire will need to be signed up for a basic training class upon adoption.



If you are looking for your new best friend and have energy this is your girl.



If you are interested in Sapphire, please fill out a statement of Interest on our website.
