Description:

Misty is a sweet and calm girl who 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. She likely spent 24 hours a day in a crate, where she had to eat, sleep and potty. It is possible she has never even been petted in her life. She was just rescued from that terrible life and is now in a special foster home to help her learn what it is like to be a dog.

Because Misty came from a rural breeder, she needs 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.

Find out how rewarding it can be to teach this poor girl how to love and be loved.

AN UPDATE FROM HER FOSTER MOM:

She is a cuddle bug. She is learning how to play with her toys and seems to have formed a special bond with a bunny she got as a present. She wouldn't go to sleep last night until I got it for her! She has barked a few times but doesn't seem to be a barky dog at all. When she eats she takes the food away from the bowl and eats it. She has not yet begged for people food, or eaten anything that we accidently drop. We're still working on potty training. She is at potty training day camp today and again tomorrow (a.k.a my grandmas house). Misty likes to be around where the action is. She follows me from room to room and always wants me to hold her. She doesn't like loud noises.

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.
