SWEET GIRL MAIMED BY HUMAN HANDS
YET SHE CRAVES AFFECTION FROM PEOPLE!

Look at that poor leg! Can you believe that a human being could be capable of such an act??

A man literally and purposely twisted and crushed her bones in a fit of anger.

Our hearts weep for the agony and pain Peechie must have been in, suffering from such an act of viciousness.

And yet.........she forgives.......

Peechie needs a cushie place to lay her head. She deserves a gentle touch and a soft voice whispering sweet words of affirmation.

Might you be the one Peechie is searching for?

UPDATE FROM PEECHIE'S ADOPTIVE HOME, JULY 26TH, 2011:

As for P-Chee--well, she's just peachie keen, as I sometimes call her. (I
changed the spelling as it fits better on the id tag.) She is an extremely
fast runner, can catch squirrels and rabbits, though mostly "almost". If
you didn't know she had only three legs, you certainly wouldn't know by
watching her run. If she did have four legs, I believe she would have been
an agility champ. She loves to be outside and her early life in the
north-woods shows as she loves to run free. I provide her as much
opportunity to safely do so as I can.

She is one of the sweetest, and most well-behaved dogs I've ever seen, as
well as "owned". She is very patient with all humans and friendly to
everyone, loves to play with other dogs, and loves kids of all sizes. Even
babies can grab her anywhere and the most she does is get up and move away.
She's the beloved of the whole apartment building--even people who
generally don't like dogs love P-Chee. She has her own unique personality,
is extremely intelligent, and is definitely the easiest to train of any dog
I've ever had. She wants to please so much that 9.5 out of ten times, she
will even come when I call even when she is poised to chase a little furry
animal.

I am trying to train her as much as I can and hope to be able to afford to
get her the full training she needs to become a certified therapy dog. I
would like to have he work mainly with children and veterans, especially
those who have lost limbs. I think she is an amazing example of overcoming
adversity. And she's beautiful too. She's grown a lot, now weighs about 63#
and has filled out though she still keeps her svelte shape.

P-Chee would be a success story wherever she went--I'm just glad she came
to MARS and then to me. Thanks for asking about her. I'll let her know you
all say hello.

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.
