Description:

​Hattie is a bundle of love and fluff. She may be blind but she navigates unassisted in the house (including stairs) and in a fenced yard. Right now she is being fostered in a home with a dog, cat and small children. She has been wonderful with all of them but would probably do better in a home without toddlers (with whom she is very gentle) whose moves are unpredictable and can startle her. Hattie is the ideal companion for someone who loves to cuddle as she loves to be brushed, pet and even hugged. She has been on walks and does fine in quiet areas where she can go at a strolling pace, she does not need another dog to guide her on walks or around the home. Hattie also travels very well and has picked up well on how to jump into the van and out again. She is sweet when meeting other dogs and plays well with them (granted she may play bow in the wrong direction sometimes).


For many the idea of a blind dog means an animal that will need lots of extra care and for Hatti this is not the case. The thing you need to keep in mind is that IF she is startled she may run, so when outside you need to have her on leash or in a fenced yard.

Hatti knows: sit, off, down, come (you will have to say it more than once so she can find you), out (you may have to say that more than once if your flooring doesn’t have a transition she can feel), go lay down, outside

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.
