Description:

Sweet Martha ("Sweetie") arrived at MARS with three adorable puppies. She has been a wonderful and attentive Mama and has loved playing with her puppies and teaching them manners. Now that her puppies are ready to be on their own, she'd like a soft place to land. Sweet Martha has a pretty typical Chi personality and takes her job of sitting on your lap very seriously. She loves to be with her humans and is a pleaser. She does well in a kennel but would prefer to spend her nights snuggled near her people. Sweetie would do best in a home without small kids as their quick movements can sometimes upset and startle her. She would prefer another small dog in her forever home or to be an only dog. She would do well in a home that understands the typical behaviors Chihuahuas tend to exhibit such as resource guarding the owner or other high value treasures. For instance, Sweetie doesn't usually eat her treats, she takes them and carefully places them where she can admire them. Sweetie does pretty well on a potty schedule and keeps her kennel dry and clean.

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.
