Description:

Vixie is great with people and is very sweet! She wants to greet everyone and is gentle with children, but will want to lick their faces! Vixie does not do any resource guarding.

She is good around cats, but needs slow intros and socialization with dogs. When she sees dogs she gets excited; hackles go up; whines/growls and sometimes will bark. She does better off leash.

She will go into a kennel and lay down, but she does not like to be shut in the kennel. She will chew on wooden or plastic gates that are closing her in, unless it is a very large space. She is house trained, but may have an accident if in the house for more than 8 hours.

She will go on training pads. Vixie loves to be outdoors and run around. She does walk on a leash, but if she gets excited (sees a squirrel, rabbit, bird, duck or another dog), then she will try to lunge or run. She does listen to commands, such as: Stay, sit and lay down. Vixie is very quiet and doesn't even bark when someone comes to the door or rings the doorbell.

* Vixie recently completed heartworm treatment (2/2021). It's recommended that she remain on monthly heartworm prevention year round for the remainder of her life.

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.

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.
