Description:

Meet Chico!

Chico was in foster care from an out of state shelter for a year and half and forgotten about by the previous transfer coordinator! He is now back in the shelter and hasn't even made a peep since he's been back. He is long overdue for finding a loving forever home. He just needs love and reassurance.

Update from foster home:
Chico is progressing! He is so shy initially and even though he wants to be by his person, he still isn't sure about the "touching" thing. He will run if you try to approach him. However, he has inched his way into his foster mom's bed at night and seems to get closer and closer to her. He currently likes to go under the covers and will actually lay up against her legs! He's getting so brave!

Chico may be shy with people, but he thinks he's king of the castle with all the other dogs...and even the resident cat. He likes to tell everyone what to do.

Chico is currently in a foster home with 10 other dogs and would benefit by being in a home with less dogs and more one on one attention. He will need another balanced dog in the home and a fenced yard would be preferred as he still needs to work on his leash walking.

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.
