Description:
MY NAME IS RICHELLE, WHICH IN GERMAN MEANS BRAVE


I have been trying to be brave, but the home I have been living in is awful. The children treat me cruel and I am left outside during the day and chained to the door with a 2 foot chain in the kitchen at night. Just look at the squallor I have been living in!

Things are looking up-MARS agreed to take me and find me a new home that will treat me the way I deserve. The day they heard about me they got me out of that house and the next day took me to a vet-I don't think I have ever been to a vet.

I am a shy girl at first until I know you won't be cruel to me, but I warm up when I know I can trust you and I want so badly to trust if you'll just give me the chance.

UPDATE


Great news! I am not living in fear or constantly tied up so life is much
better here. This life is really letting me become the dog I always new I
could be!I like being around the family and will surprise them by jumping
up next to them and cuddling in for a nap. I really like to be around
people and will lick you to death if you let me. If you'll let me I will
climb in your bed and spend the night.

They have a couple other dogs here and aside from the "who's the boss"
incident we have gotten along very well. We worked it out and now we get
along great! I have met a few other dogs and I was pretty excited but we
got along alright once they figured out I wanted to be the boss. They say
I could use a little more socialization (whatever that is).

I love to carry things around in my mouth to try and tell them to let me
out to go potty; I don't chew them I just carry them around. My favorite
is to bring you your shoe so you know that I'm ready. I'm not having any
accidents in the house. I am respectful of their two cats I like to play
with them but I'm not rough.

I like walking on a leash-I can walk fast, and I still kind of pull when
they don't go where I want but I'm working on this walking thing. I'm a
very fast runner so catch me if you can. Oh and I can clear a baby gate
with ease so you've got to watch out for low fenced yards if you want me
to stick around.

I understand the words "no" and "off", will respond immediately and don't
have to be told twice! I know my basic commands but don't always want to
listen but I think I could learn a lot more in obedience class. If you're
willing to work with me I'm sure we could figure that part out as I am
very smart.

I am a really good dog and I am very sad that no one has adopted me yet. I
could fit into just about any home as long as you love me. Please come and
see me and you'll know that I am a good dog!!!

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.
