Description:

Watch the video of my release!
Jewel 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. Jewel will need help with socialization and we are currently working on her housetraining, which is coming along great! Jewel is timid and would be best placed in a home with a fenced yard and another dog that she can model after.

Update from foster home:
Jewel is a diamond in the rough! She has the sweetest disposition and
eyes that can melt your heart. She is cautious and timid in new
situations. It takes her a little while to warm up, but once she knows
you she will be by your side or at your feet at all times. She loves
attention and to be pet. Her coat needed to be shaved due to severe
matting, but I have no doubt it will grow in nicely and be gorgeous. She has beautiful markings and when she blossoms, she will be a wonderful companion!

Jewel would do best in a home without young children or a lot of activity as she can get overwhelmed. She does wonderfully with the other dogs in her foster home and the resident cats. She is a little overweight at 18 pounds, but still is just a tiny little girl. Shelties can be barkers, but Jewel has yet to find her voice. If you are looking for a treasure, Jewel may be the dog for you!

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.
