Robert Edwards De Shields, who is confined to a wheelchair, was convicted last month of the crimes against the eight-month-old chihuahua mix living with the family of the South Sacramento home where he rented a living space.
He was high on methamphetamine at the time of the attack.
In March, the owners found the dog almost lifeless, in pain and in shock, with De Shields in the garage.
A veterinarian later found traces of asphyxiation, as well as serious injuries to the animal's rectum and internal organs. The chihuahua was only able to survive thanks to intensive medical care.
He will serve out his sentence in a state prison.
