Description:
Hi, my name is Chewie. I am a very sweet little dog. I want to be loved and cuddled, but I am still a little nervous about hands and feet because they have never been kind to me before. Once I am picked up, I love to cuddle. I would never think of growling or biting, I am just very quiet and still when I am afraid. I have been visited by children and teenagers and reacted the same as I react to adults. I think I would like children, but they would need to be old enough to understand I need to be treated gently.

I love my foster dog sisters, especially the bulldog. She isn't the alpha female, but she has the most colorful personality so she seems to be the one to hang out with. I am learning language very quickly, I'm very smart. One evening my sister dogs were arguing over a favorite toy.
Because it is a favorite, there are two of them. My foster mom said to us all, where is the other one? I surprised her by being the one to show her the matching toy, out of all the toys on the floor. I don't know what to do with the toys yet, but I am watching.

I would like a forever home with at least one other dog. I feel safer with dogs, and a dog could continue to teach me how to be a pet dog. I would hide in my sleeping crate if I could, but my foster mom won't let me. I ride nicely in a car, I just sit on the seat next to my foster mom. I am making progress on potty training. I don't get the going outside thing, but I learned I'm not to go on the carpet, so I use the kitchen floor, which is right near the outside door, so maybe I'll figure it out soon. I can sit on a chair and cuddle with you for hours. I would like a quieter home, with people of any age who will be gentle, patient and loving with me.

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.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

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.
