Description:

Meet Chipster!

Chipster was found as a stray and never reclaimed. He is a very sweet little boy, but is still learning to trust and will need an understanding owner/family that will continue to help him feel loved and safe (and familiar with typical chihuahua personalities).

Chipster is a very funny, friendly and sweet little guy that loves belly rubs and couch surfing. He has the cutest bow-legged front legs and he is surprisingly agile for his size and age - he can jump onto the bed and couch and tackles stairs no problem!

Chipster has been doing well on potting on a schedule and isn't overly bothered by the cold and snow. He does not care for being kenneled/penned and will whine/cry but he does not appear to be a big barker and is not yippy. He is a good little sleeper and cuddles up on his foster mom's bed and sleeps well during the night.

Chipster is fear reactive when his neck/collar is touched or he is leashed but his foster family is working with him to show him its okay, and he is learning to gain trust that he won't be hurt. He is a chihuahua so he does display some of the "alpha" characteristics of the breed - he does GREAT with other dogs his same size which respect his boundaries.

Due to his nervousness and trust issues he needs a quieter home with a fenced yard (or fenced potty area) and no small children. He really is an amazing little guy and so deserving of a loving home!

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
