Meet Chicky!

Chicky aka Casey is a very sweet, people-loving dog. She greets all ages, male and female with lots of enthusiasm. She loves to be played with, but is just as happy playing with her toys, or taking naps.

Her favorite thing is to sit on the back of the couch and watch the activity outside. She doesn't bark much, except at rabbits and the occasional deer. She is more of a whiner, when she gets excited about something.

She hasn't been around other dogs much, but when we go for walks, seems to want to play with all the dogs we run into. She is fully house-trained and is also crate-trained, but usually sleeps in her bed, next to her crate.

We are retired and home a lot, but she has no trouble staying home alone when she needs to. She's a bit of a night owl, as we are, and likes to sit in our laps and relax, while we have our morning coffee. She does fine with our three grandchildren, although she can be a pest when she wants to play and they don't!

She doesn't always come when called. She could use some training in that area. The one weird thing about her is that she is afraid of stairs. She doesn't go up and down stairs, except for the stairway to the back yard. And the only thing she will jump up on is the couch, which happened gradually and not till she was a year old.

Over all, she will make a great addition to anyone's family.

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.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

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

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. 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.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

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 without knowing a pet’s full history.
