About Sheldon

Meet Sheldon! This adorable Chihuahua/Terrier mix is brimming with affection and energy. Born around the Fourth of July, he lives up to the holiday spirit with his charming personality. Currently thriving in his foster home, Sheldon loves to engage in playtime before curling up for a cozy nap. Sheldon has adjusted wonderfully after arriving from an overcrowded shelter in Kentucky. He's socialized well and gets along with everyone—dogs, cats, and kids alike. You’ll find him enjoying a game with his furry friends or snuggled in someone’s lap, ready for love and attention. While he’s learning potty training and doing great, he is expected to weigh around 25 to 30 pounds when fully grown, making him a perfect fit for those seeking a smaller to medium-sized companion. Playful, cuddly, and ready for a forever family, Sheldon is hoping to find his new home soon. His adoption fee of $550 covers spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm treatment, and other necessary medical care. Did we mention that he's 100% RESCUED? That truly is the best breed of all! Please note: We conduct home visits as part of our adoption process and are unable to adopt to families outside of the Chicago area. Thank you for understanding.
