Stratford is the cream version of the Chihuahua  I adopted years ago from the care center, also at age 10. Gordy had a very special place in my heart and whoever looks and acts like him attracts me like a magnet..Stratford is no disappointment…He shakes as a Chihuahua usually does but the arms and the lap calm him down pretty quickly…That is where he belongs, that is where all the Chihuahuas belong as needy and loyal best friends. Stratford walk well on the leash, does some business on the way and accepts the petting of staff passing by.  He does not react to other dogs and even wags his little tail as he meets a big gal…Stratford is very dear to me and I so would wish for you to meet him and fall in love with him. Stratford is waiting for you at the Manhattan Care Center
