Description:

Linny has been displaced because her owner has failing health and can't handle her care. Linny is a somewhat chubby girl who lived in an apartment and after the owner's knee surgery, only had the length of a leash out the apartment door for exercise.

She is good with other dogs and is learning to actually play. She is kind, sweet and loves kids . All she wants right now is a home. She is such an easy girl to be around, surely there is a home she could complete.

Foster Update

She is house trained, but has not yet given me any signs of needing to go outside, but she does go out when you ask if she needs to.

She kennels well - for night time and she goes in on her own throughout the day. And when I go into the office for work she will need to be kenneled.

As I noted above, she is good with dogs when given some time to get to know them. She's not a fan of my cat, yet. She loves her belly rubbed and laying right next to her humans. She doesn't seem to have any dislikes that I've noticed yet.

She walks well on a leash/harness. She does know the command to sit and come here. As a senior dog, she is very overweight, appears to have hip dysplasia and likely arthritis. She will be seeing the vet for orthopedic and teeth. She is on a restricted diet and is getting exercise- so that should help her feel better.

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.
