Description:
UPDATE FROM FOSTER FAMILY:
Nelly is a very smart dog with a lot of love to share. She is AMAZING at playing
fetch and brings the ball back everytime, well until she gets tired. She is good on
a leash and has had no indoor potty accidents since we have had her.

She doesn't pay much attention to my toddler, but loves to snuggle up with my mellow
7 year old. She sleeps in bed with her and would prefer a bed to a crate. She does
kennel up well when we are at work though. She would probably do best in a home
with older children and/or adults. Although she certanly wouldn't mind young
visitors.

My 45 pounds Brittany seems to be growing on her, but she would probably be content
in a home where she is the only dog and getting ALL of the attention.

Nelly really is a sweet girl that is looking for a loving person to play fetch and
cuddle up on the couch. If you are looking for a good companion dog, please
consider Nelly. She will give you lots of love and licks everyday :)

Nelly loves treats. She is so excited at the possibility of getting a treat that she spins happily around just waiting for that treat. She is a really sweet girl and she would love to find a home to call her own.

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.
