Description:
Chippy is an adorable, spunky little boy who loves to play, sit with his people and is kennel trained. Chippy is deaf, but is extremely smart and is learning sign language! He understands his name, when to come and sit. When outside at night, Chippy will know when to come in with a flashlight or outside light code! Having a deaf dog has some definite advantages such as he does not bark when people are at the door, does not wake up when you are cheering on your favorite sport team or drop that pan in the kitchen. Chippy is an amazing dog and with just a few adjustments, you would not even know he is deaf! Chipping loves to play with a toy, run around the house and is becoming more comfortable with including other animals in on his play. He does requires a slower introduction to strangers, but once he knows you, he enjoys playing with you! Chippy also loves to touch you, but is not much of a cuddler. He is active and prefers to play and lay next to you vs. on you. Chippy is looking for a special person or family to love him forever!

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.
