Description:

Maya is a beautiful Black & Tan Chihuahua who is 2 years old. At approximately 5.7 lbs, she is a dainty little thing with a big personality. She is completely housetrained & goes right to the door when she wants out. She is learning basic obedience too. With repetition, she will be able to learn lots of commands. She learned the "sit" command in one little 15-minute training session. She is a perfect lap dog--this is her favorite place in the world, well, maybe second to burrowed under whatever blanket your are curled up in. She will dig in for ear scratches and belly rubs & nudge your hand with her nose if you stop too soon. She is quiet too. I have yet to hear her bark. She has done great with cats, small dogs & big dogs. She doesn't seemed to be phased by any of them, and would really like to make friends with the resident chihuahua if he would let her. She doesn't seem to enjoy quick moving children or the loud noises they make--I think she fears getting stepped on, so I would suggest a home with teens or older.

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.
