Meet Grace
Grace is the easiest dog to have around. She is a very calm and quiet dog that just wants to be with you. Her poor body has been badly treated so she moves slow, doesn't jump and needs to have canned dog food or watered down dry. She can be impatient with other dogs, cats or children but once she trusts her people she is the perfect dog. She doesn't bark, doesn't care if you have guests and will find a sunny spot to fall asleep in if she can't be on your lap. She is scared of being in a kennel but is potty trained so she can be left home alone; however if she is awake she does need to be let out consistently or you might have an accident. You have to be careful when you pick her up as her front legs are arthritic but she handles it like a trooper and wants to be picked up anyway. She will make a funny honking sound to let you know she's sore but it is a far cry from anything intimidating. In fact, it makes us laugh because it is such a strange sound for a dog to make.
One of Grace's favorite things to do is to follow me around the yard and sniff. She never strays more than a few yards away so it is super easy to have her with me at all times. Even if she wanted to run (which she doesn't), she cant go very far very fast so it's risk-free. She would be the perfect companion for a housewife, an widow/widower that wants a friend and companion or even a person with disabilities that wants the love of an animal but is restricted in their ability to care. Grace is smart and will have no trouble learning how to use a doggie door. Ours has a few steep steps to get to and she likes to avoid stairs when she can so we just let her out the back.
I can't say enough good things about Grace. She is worth taking a chance on because of her huge personality and her amazing capacity to love. She deserves to have the end of her life be as beautiful as she is.

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.
