Description:

This is Chilly. He is playful, smart and always so excited to be with you. He is such a well socialized puppy with no trauma history because of the love and helping hands he has received. His mom Sunshine, a mixed breed who weighs 40lbs, was brought into a shelter and gave birth to eight healthy puppies two days later on November 22, 2024. Sunshine is a wonderful mom and the woman who took care of the newborn pups at the shelter was amazing because he is smart, well regulated and playful.

He came to live with us (my husband, my 8 year old kiddo, my 6 year old kiddo and myself) and his three siblings at 7 weeks old. I have been working on clicker training with him. He offers sit anytime I look at him (if he’s not in puppy play mode). He is doing well with potty training and loves to play tug of war, ball and play with other dogs. He is not fearful of anything that I have presented as socialization training which has included nail trims, thunderstorm sounds, firework sounds, car noises, crying babies and various people coming to visit.

He is going to live with his next foster on Feb 7th and right now is the perfect time to meet him. He’s 11 weeks old which is optimal timing in his mental development to make the lifelong bond we all want.

* Puppies under 5 months should not be left alone for more than 4 hours at a time to help them with potty training and socialization.

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! 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. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

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.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. 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.
