Description:

Hello! My name is BarbaraLee and I am a spunky, sassy, but sweet 5 lb girl! I am so adorable! I love to play with other small dogs and toys. I am also an expert at snuggling! I am known to crawl up onto your chest, lap, or shoulders to get closer to you. I am your typical Chihuahua and love to bark at people and noises. I struggle settling down after I really get barking, but with help from my foster mom, I am getting better at redirection!

I am mostly potty trained, but I am still working on understanding my potty schedule. I am crate trained and prefer to eat in my crate when other dogs are present. I become very intimidated by new people that scare me. It takes a little time for me to warm up, but once I do, I am your best bud and will become protective of you, if allowed. I will also pull away and jump around on my leash when I am nervous so I would prefer a fence, but it is not required if you are patient with me. I also have a tiny stubborn streak, but I am still learning and with direction will learn to be more adaptable.

I do great crated in a vehicle and enjoyed going to my foster parent’s camper. I prefer to be inside but am quickly learning to love being outside. I enjoyed walking around the campground and strutting my stuff. I am not a fan of a harness and love to walk on a leash when I am in the mood to do so (did I mention I have a little stubborn streak?). With that being said, I am so sweet, loving, cute and fun!

I am very excited to find my forever home! Could that be you?

*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.
