My name is Chelsea. My foster mom found me online at a rescue group called Midwest Animal Rescue Services (MARS). I was originally with an owner who could not care for me or my 5 other siblings. We were sent to a humane society before being transferred to MARS. My littermates and I came in with skin infections and ringworm. Luckily we were all treated and became eligible for adoption. My foster mo
m found the new rescue group for the organization she works for called Paws Giving Independence (PGI). PGI likes to rescue dogs from shelters and give them a second chance at life through their service dog training program! My temperament was a great fit for the program so my foster mom picked me and even one of my sisters to begin training! My sister is currently in the prison training program and will be trained by an inmate for the next year and then come back to PGI to finalize training. I used my cute face that I hear everyone talk about to make my foster mom fall in love with me. Since I will be training about two years with her before going to a person with a disability, she decided to adopt one of my brothers that was still left! Now we get to have playdates! Currently my foster mom is finishing up her final year of undergrad at the University of Illinois in Urbana, Champaign. I go with her to class, on the bus, to the store, to restaurants, and any other place she drags me to! I don't mind though because I get to meet lots of interesting people and explore so many fun places!!
