Description:

Meet Ballina!

Ballina tends to be shy and fearful when she first meets a new person, but once she gets to know you and learns she can trust you, she warms up.

Ballina gets along great with the other dogs, but still doesn't interact too much with them. She occasionally will play a little bit, but not too often.

She does smile when she's excited, such as at dinner time, or when she comes in from outside. Apart from a few accidents, Ballina is pretty much house-broken. She also uses a pee-pad when confined to the laundry room when we are not home.

She sleeps very well at night with the other dogs, very quiet, no whining or barking. Although she is somewhat fearful of being picked up, she loves to jump up herself and lay on your lap and be petted. She will fall asleep on your lap!

Ballina may not be as friendly right off the bat as some other dogs, but she is really sweet, and with time and patience, she will make a great addition for the right person or family. You can just see in her eyes that she just wants to be loved and feel safe and secure.

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.
