Meet Cookie,

Cookie is a 2-3 or so year old "pit bull"- according to her previous "owners". She is less than 35 pounds. The owners used Cookie as a (backyard) breeding dog, and she has had several litters. They lost her breeding partner (to the cops) last year and they have since been trying to breed her to other local pits without success.

However, when her breeding partner left she at least got the doghouse! Previously she had tried to escape the snow and cold by digging a shallow hole in the dirt alongside the house where she was chained up. Can you imagine? No shelter!

The other day the owners moved out of their house and couldn't take Cookie with so they just left her there. When I went to go and see her she was very frightened. As you can see it's hard to get a good photo of Cookie because she has to be cuddled up next to you at every second!

This sweet girl is one of the biggest lovers you will ever meet. Her favorite activity is giving kisses. She is smart and full of energy. She grew up around children. She will steal your heart if you give her a chance!
She REALLY deserves a second chance- will you help her? You won't regret it- she is just the sweetest little girl!!!

Thank You!

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.
