Description:

Meet Melody!

Melody is a Lab/Pointer cross who was bred for hunting. She did not sell so they gave her away to someone who just dropped her off at a high kill shelter. We could not let this sweet little girl die in there. She is fully vetted and in excellent health.

Melody is such a honey of a dog. WOW! She's really a wonderful girl! She is extremely happy to be in a loving foster home and now she is just waiting to find her FOREVER home.

Melody is still working on being potty trained, but she is moving little puppy mountains with that. Melody is learning quickly. She eagerly waits by the door when she comes inside the house. We are also working on the "sit" command. But she knows she gets a treat for coming inside and waiting. She is also working on the off/down command. And while she is here with us, we'll be working on other commands such as come, stay, go to bed. She does kennel up very good. Although, it's not a favorite spot for her at first. But she will go in with out hesitation when she's near the kennel. I'd like to train her to so that we can just say "kennel up" and she's will just walk over there.

Her first night in her foster home, she slept quietly in the living room with Lexi, the resident dog. Melody was in her kennel and Lex took the couch. It really seems like she's just so thankful to be in a home environment and be loved. She's doing good with the off command when she's playing with our 2yr old. And she's still a gentle lady around the baby. She's just very mellow for a 6 month old pup. She acts a lot like Lexi during the day. Playful from time to time, but overall, very well behaved. She truly is a wonderful 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.
