Description:
Meet Joelle! Joelle or JoJo is AMAZING! Every person who meets her falls head over heels in love with her! JoJo is one happy girl and has the sweetest disposition. She LOVES people of all ages and is great with dogs of all sizes. She is even great with feline friends. This pretty girl is housetrained and loves going for walks and playing outside. She also loves toys and chewing on a good antler or nylabone. Belly rubs are her favorite and even though she’s over 40 pounds, she would happily be a lap dog! Joelle was given lemons in the past and certainly has made lemonade with them! Her previous owners owned a meth house and due to repeated exposure to chemicals she began having seizures. She was tied to a tree on a short chain without shelter until she found rescue. Joelle has since been diagnosed with Cerebellar Hypoplasia. It is not something that will get worse but it won’t get better either. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebellar_hypoplasia_(non-human) Despite her background, Joelle has such a happy outlook on life! She does everything all other dogs do…. Only with a bit of a bounce! The more excited she is… the bigger the bounce! Joelle doesn’t let her lack of fine motor skills discourage her. She still loves to go for walks, romp in the backyard and follow her person wherever they go. She just needs a bit more room to navigate due to her wide stance and wobbly/lurching motions. She moves much better on surfaces where she can have some tractions. Slippery wood floors are difficult for her. Joelle is able to do stairs with supervision and a helping hand on her support harness. This girl is an absolute gem and will love you to the moon and back if you give her the opportunity!
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.
