Chiweenie Dogs Available for Adoption in Lafayette, California

Meet Sterling

Warning: Sterling is dangerously adorable.

This tiny Chiweenie boy is as sweet as they come, with the most stunning honey-and-silver coat, adorable perky ears, and a face that melts hearts wherever he goes. At just 3 months old and only 3 pounds, Sterling is still very much a baby, learning about the world one paw step at a time.

Sterling was born in our care and has been surrounded by love from the very beginning. While we can’t guarantee his adult size, we expect him to stay small, likely around the size of his mama, who weighs just 7 pounds.

Like any puppy, Sterling is a blank slate. He isn’t house trained, leash trained, or familiar with the rules of living in a home just yet. His future family should be excited about all the fun—and responsibility—that comes with raising a puppy, including potty training, socialization, confidence-building, and teaching him how to be the very best companion.

Sterling is playful, curious, affectionate, and eager to experience everything the world has to offer. He loves attention, enjoys exploring his surroundings, and is happiest when he’s near his people.

His ideal home will have a house with a secure yard, a flexible schedule so he isn’t left alone for long periods, and a commitment to providing the training, structure, and socialization every young puppy needs to thrive. We’d especially love to see him join a home with another friendly dog who can help show him the ropes and build his confidence.

Sterling is looking for a family that understands puppies require patience, time, and dedication. In return, you’ll get a loyal best friend and the opportunity to watch this tiny boy grow into an incredible companion.

If you’re ready for puppy snuggles, lots of laughs, and the rewarding journey of raising a well-rounded dog, Sterling is ready to meet you. Help us find this special little boy the forever home he deserves.

Adoption fee is 550
