Description:

Grazie is the perfect houseguest. She is a super friendly dog and loves to cuddle with you on the couch and also in bed. She is most happy when she is with her humans. Her foster family has four resident dogs and she gets along well with all of them. She loves to play and run around in the yard. She walks well on a leash and does not pull or bark when other people are around. She is about 90% housetrained and lets you know when she wants to go outside. She is also good in the car. Her favorite spot is to sit in the back seat with head and paws on the console between the two front seats.

Grazie eats her food well and takes treats gently from your hand. She has not tried to jump up on the counter when food is being prepared; however, she does sit and watch hoping for something to fall on the floor. She has learned what corner of the kitchen is hers for her food bowl and does not try to eat from the other dog’s bowls.

Grazie did test positive for giardia, an intestinal parasite, and is being treated by MARS. She receives medication daily. She will need to be retested two days after she completes her medication to ensure she has fully recovered. Giardia can be contagious to other dogs but can be controlled with good hygiene and immediate pick up and proper disposal of her feces.

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.
