Description:
This pretty little girl is NITA. Nita was saved by a compassionate vet who refused her former owner's request to put her down. Nita is from the deep south and suffers from allergies that afflict so many in that region. Nita's owner didn't want to deal with it any longer and brought her in to have her put down. Thankfully, the vet knew what a wonderful dog Nita was and decided to try and find her a better home- somewhere up north! Nita is about 2 years old, is a Beagle/Basset cross and is just as sweet as pie! She only weighs about 25 pounds. She is a very happy girl; her tail wags non stop! And, as you can see in her pictures- is just a blur because it's going so fast! Nita loves kids and is very fond of other dogs. She is going to make a fantastic new friend to some lucky family! The vet is sure her allergies will subside completely once she heads into the northern climate. If you have always wanted to foster a smaller dog- Nita sure needs a place to hang out and be cared for while we work to find her a great forever home. Please feel free to fill out an Adoption or Foster Application on our main website, www.midwestanimalrescue.org, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features. Thank You!

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.
