ACACIA - CHIHUAHUA / JACK RUSSELL TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Jack Russell Terrier / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 550. Acacia came into rescue through a third-party surrender to Alaska’s Hope Animal Rescue. When she arrived, she was in poor condition—her nails were overgrown, her coat was rough, and she was clearly scared and unsure. With time, gentle care, and patience, she’s started to come out of her shell and show her true personality. She may be shy at first, but once she feels safe, Acacia is the definition of a lovebug. She adores being held, soaks up every bit of affection, and wants nothing more than to be close to her person. She does well with adults, older kids, and small dogs, and she’s already crate and leash trained. She rides nicely in the car, enjoys toys, and can be both playful and cuddly. Acacia may bark at first when meeting new people, but it’s more about nerves than anything else, and she settles quickly once she realizes she’s safe. She’ll need a calm, patient home that can give her consistency and help her keep building confidence. In return, she’ll give endless loyalty and affection every single day. Acacia is from Texas.
