Starling

Starling is a sweet-tempered little guy who initially found the shelter environment overwhelming, preferring to hide under beds and blankets. In the comfort of his foster home, he has revealed his true nature: a snuggle enthusiast who loves to burrow! He walks well on a leash, especially when heading back towards his cozy space, and is perfectly fine with being handled. He's also quite indifferent to other dogs and cats in the household, making him a potentially easygoing companion.

As a Chihuahua, Starling embodies the breed's characteristic loyalty and affectionate nature once he feels secure. While currently recovering from kennel cough, which may temporarily affect his usual energy, Chihuahuas typically have a moderate energy level and thrive on companionship. He's a small dog with a big heart, and his quiet demeanor suggests he would do well in a home that appreciates a calm and devoted friend. His current recovery period means he's not quite feeling his best, but his sweet disposition shines through.

Starling is looking for a patient and understanding home that can provide him with the security and love he needs to fully blossom into the happy, carefree pup he's meant to be. A quiet environment where he can continue to recover and feel safe would be ideal. His new family should be prepared to offer gentle encouragement and plenty of soft blankets for him to burrow under. If you're seeking a loyal, snuggly companion who will thrive with a bit of tender loving care, Starling could be the perfect addition to your family.
