Sterling's Story

He is adorable. Affectionate. 6-7 years old, came to local animal control as a stray. Illinois Humane brought him into our care soon after to our foster home who specializes in chihuahuas. He is 9 pounds, a handsome Chihuahua mix. One special need, he requires a dental about every 6 months. Small dog teeth! However, he is worth it. He is just a wonderful little dog, a great companion. His coat is thin (he will need a sweater and coat), we are not sure if that might be due to his breed mix. Just a sweet little guy.
