Description:


Basil (or Fiona as we have renamed her) has 2 speeds, fast and faster.  She is a very high energy girl.  If outdoor
activities are your lifestyle, this is your pal.  While she is submissive to dogs
and humans, she is a bit headstrong which will require a strong personality for
training.  We have not yet found her motivation.  Pleasing her people is not high on
her list, neither are treats or toys.  She is very smart so discipline relating to
rules, boundaries and limitations such as; off, no, leave it, no bark are easy to
obtain.  She understands come, but...she is not yet consistent.  Sit, down,
wait/stay, are difficult due to her desire to be constantly in motion.  We are
working on these on a daily basis.

Fiona is affectionate, she loves her pets and scratches, and is a kissy girl.  She
much more prefers independent exploration, running with our 2 adult shepherds and
very vigorous play.

Fiona is housebroken.  Fiona is great around the cats.  She was very afraid of
Buster at first, however Buster launched a full frontal assault by leaping on her
from the dining room table and knocking her down.  He then ran to the stairs,
stopping to see if she would chase him, she did, and now they wrestle, and lay down
together.  She doesn't initiate play with him, but will play when he wants to,
ignoring him at all other times.  Freaky only interacts with Buttons, so Fiona has
no real interest in him.

Do you have room in your heart for this sweet girl?

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.
