Description:

This shy 6lb Chihuahua needs some love. He is trepidatious about everything. We are doing much better with walks, I don't think he had ever been on leash. He is doing great in the house, no issues with accidents. He is sleeping in his crate with the door open. Due to his size, we crate him when there isn't anyone home. He is learning "kennel" for time to get in his crate. He will do a low growl when another dog is in his space but isn't aggressive, just trying to say leave me alone. We have a transport crate for one of our dogs, there isn't a door but it is prime real estate. Louie seems to like the security of it. We have draped a blanket over the wire crate and he seems to like it better. He is always hungry and not a picky eater. Once he has confidence, he will be a fabulous dog. When we lie down it takes him a few minutes to relax. He loves the attention.

It is my understanding when he was picked up, the fleas and ticks were so bad on his back to his neck they had to shave that area to get it cleaned and mediated to heal. I have been applying coconut oil and aloe vera to get it to heal. There are no longer sores but he still has sever dry skin and he does have stubble. I would say in a month he will be gorgeous! No small dog attitude with this little fellow.

*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.
