Description:
Meet Nadia!

Nadia came from a rural puppy mill. She had never lived a day of her life as a normal pet in a home, with the love and attention a pet deserves. She likely spent 24 hours a day in a crate, where she had to eat, sleep and potty. It is possible she has never even been petted in her life. She was just rescued from that terrible life and is now in a special foster home to help her learn what it is like to be a dog.

Because Nadia came from a rural breeder, she needs help with socialization and adjusting to life in a home environment. Fenced yards and a home with other stable dogs to show them the ropes are best for dogs coming from this type of situation.

UPDATE FROM TEMPORARY FOSTER 2/15/08

Nadia is such a sweet girl! She loves to be near people and being held is
a bonus. She does not live with children, but absolutely loved the
neighbor kids who came to visit her. She has not had one accident in the
house. She slept soundly the whole night through on the pillow behind her
foster mom's head. She is a very quiet girl and will only bark if she is
excited to go outside if she knows you're near, but can't get to you. Because she loves the outdoors she will go 'exploring' on her own so it would be best if she had a fenced yard so she can explore in safety. She can even get out of a harness if she wants to go!

She has a very cute habit of finding chewies and trying to bury them in
couch cushions or under dog bed cushions.

She gets along great with all the resident foster dogs and cats. She is
an absolute delight and will make someone a wonderful companion.

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! 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. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

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.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. 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.
