Description:
Hi, My name is Tesla..

I may be a little or a lot chunky but when I jump up and down to get you to play with me it will warm your heart. However, be wary..if you leave you undergarments on the floor I will get them and hide them under the couch! I like to find anything that doesn't belong to me that is only 8 inches off the ground..and if its a paper recycle bin that's the best! Paper shredding all over the house makes a fine mess. I had never seen a mirror before and it took me a while to realize that I was playing with myself..oh well. If you have other dogs, I love to play. Just make sure they want to play more than my foster pups. They just lay around and look at me like I'm crazy. I have quite a funny personality and am still a leary of people, but my foster mom is working on that.

Love,
Tesla

Tesla came from a rural puppy mill. She had never lived a day of her life as a normal pet in a home, with the love and attention a pet deserves. It is possible she had never even been petted in her life. She was rescued from that terrible life. Now she needs a special home to help her learn what it is like to be a dog.

Because Tesla came from a rural breeder, she was not be potty trained when she arrived. She will also need help with socialization and adjusting to life in a home environment. Fenced yards and a home with other stable dogs to show them the ropes are best for dogs coming from this type of situation.

We have secured a foster home to care for Tesla and begin her socialization. Apply to adopt to find out how rewarding it can be to teach this poor girl how to love and be loved.

Please feel free to fill out an ADOPTION APPLICATION on our main website, www.midwestanimalrescue.org, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features.

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.
