Caldwells Pet Of The Week: Stella

You can adopt this 8-week-old chihuahua mix now from Orphaned Pets of West Caldwell.

This little dog needs a stellar home to call her own. 

Stella is an 8-week-old chihuahua mix and is ready to be adopted from Orphaned Pets Inc. of West Caldwell. 

Stella is a little shy but she makes up for it in adorableness. She will remain small when grown, so Stella is the perfect pup for someone living in an apartment or an elderly person. 

She is up to date on her shots but is still too young to be spayed. To adopt Stella or any of the other dogs and cats available, call (973) 882-8363 or (973) 865-6421.
