Description:
Valerie 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 had never even been petted in her life. Thank goodness she has been rescued from that life.

Valerie is such a gem! She is a quiet and gentle girl who wants nothing more than to please and be loved. She is learning what it is like to be petted and praised. And she likes it! Her under-bite is charming and when we come home she greets us with a crooked "smile!" She is also learning what it is like to be in a home and household routines. She has mastered the stairs as well as jumping over baby gates and she is learning to walk on a leash. She loves sniffing all of those interesting smells as we walk along! Toys that squeak are her favorites, food and treats are of little interest to her. She is coming along nicely in her house-training and she travels well in the car. She responds especially well to a calm, quiet approach. She would love a home with or without dogs and she is wonderful with children of all ages.

Find out how rewarding it can be to teach this poor girl how to love and be loved.

*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.
