Description:
UPDATE-Chris is an approx. 1 year 6 month old Chihuahua who weighs 10 lbs. He came to rescue after being burned in a house fire. He is making nice progress in his foster home. Chris was extremely timid and under socialized upon his arrival, however, is now following his primary caregiver everywhere. He will require a secure environment since he continues to be timid when approached and is working on trust. He is at the beginning stages of being house broken, and leash trained. Chris loves other dogs and cats, and would benefit from a home with other pets. He would do best in a home without children.

Chris is a 8 month old chihuahua who weighs about 7 lbs. He is coming into rescue because he was in a fire and needs a lot of care for his burns. He was in a home where he was with a family who didn't socialize him so he is very scared and timid. Chris got loose during the house fire and ran into the woods. It took them 4 weeks to catch him, so his burns were not taken care of during that time. He is very under socialized and would do best in a home without children. He will bite when his burns are touched or he is picked up in a way that hurt his burns. He is slowly healing and that will change with 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.

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.
