Description:

Chappi has an all too familiar story. She was adopted out as a puppy and despite her parents loving her, life happened, the kids got older and no one had the time to care for both humans and a dog.

She's a shy girl and will need someone to work with her to give her confidence with a gentle voice. She does some submissive peeing but has gotten a lot, lot better since she came to her foster home a few weeks ago. We think it will take some time but are pretty confident she will overcome this, but as we say it will take some time. She will be a sweet, wonderful and loving pet for a deserving family.

Requirements are:

A fenced yard.

Another easygoing dog about her size or a little bigger. A dog to show her it's okay.

No shared walls, she's not a big barker but is loud when she does bark at a sound or if she sees something outside.

We recommend children over 10.

She just loves toys and sometimes entertains herself, will chase the ball and bring it back but needs training on giving it to you to toss again. Good on leash but pulls a little on her walks, does bark some when she sees other dogs but is friendly with people. Lays beside us on the sofa during reading or TV time.

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.
