o further because Chilly is ready and willing! He absolutely adores his people and with his stylish looks, he gains admirers quickly. However, he needs an owner who understands that he gets nervous when strangers try to reach out right away and pet him on the head. He may bark at them in protest if his owners have not advocated for a slower introduction for him. He loves doing commands and tricks for his treats and that helps him feel more secure in new surroundings and around new people. He's very proud and eager to show off! We feel he could benefit from a confident sibling to show him that new scenarios and people are nothing to be afraid of. He has been going to pet friendly places like the local hardware store and Petco and enjoys these training sessions. He can be pretty strong on leash at times but a gentle leader solves that problem and helps him focus on his person better. He’s very good in the car too so it’s a joy to bring him places. He is mostly done with the puppy chewing stage but he may get bored when left alone so a kennel might still be the best for him. He doesn’t mind his crate and happily runs in there for his meals and when it’s time for his owners to leave the house for work or errands. Since he’s still very young and active, he would like a home with lots of opportunities to use his brain to learn new things and go on plenty of adventures! He likes playing with his toys and will do a little fetch out in the yard with a variety of toys. He also loves to help get ice cubes out of the freezer! What a clown… and don’t worry, he will seek out attention and let you know when it’s time to get off the couch or put down your phone to go have fun and embrace life He's been nothing but fantastic with all the other dogs he's met, big and small—always looking for a playmate. He has been enjoying trips to the dog park and checks in with his foster owners frequently. Deep down, he's just a big happy dog who's loving life right now! This fun, smart, boy has a lot to offer and will make you smile and laugh every day! or 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.
