Description:


Joker aka Joey can be a sweet and loving boy once he’s warmed up to you. But he does have some anxiety issues that we are working with, he has made improvements but still needs work. In a nutshell Joker has a true and typical personality for a sassy Chi mixed with a smidge of terrier!

He is nervous when meeting people and needs to be introduced slow and cautiously. He also needs supervision around other dogs. Joey will make a great little dog for someone who is willing to take the time to show him to be a nice boy. 

His foster mom and dad just love Joey. They understand his personality and work with him to be a good little guy. He loves to cuddle with them, plays with toys, enjoys his 3 mile walk/jog, likes to spend time in the fenced yard investigating and sniffing around. He’s a pleasure to foster but we have to work with him daily to keep him in line.

Potential owners will need to be breed-savvy and understand that rat terriers are very loyal to their people but can be less than nice to outsiders. Patience and continued training will be needed. No young children. Can be with other dogs as long as can keep the dogs separate around food

*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.
