Sterling - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Springfield, Illinois

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.

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.
