Description:

Meet Patches O'Houlihan,

Sweet senior Patches has not had a great couple of months. She found herself homelss and developed a terriable flea allergy that resulted in the loss of most of her beautiful fur. Some nice people tried to help her out by putting some hair oil on her irritated skin but it only made matters worse and ended in a painful reaction.
Finally a kind rescue angel happened upon her and contacted MARS where she has been getting the medical care she needs.

UPDATE FROM FOSTER HOME:

Patches is a sweet and spunky little gal that is very easy to care for!

She LOVES attention but isn't "needy" and enjoys simply hanging out and keeping you company. She also enjoys playing with toys and balls and has a playful "growl".

She is doing excellent at potting outside on a schedule and warms up with a cute little gallop around the room when she comes in.

Patches gets along well with other calmer dogs or would be fine as an only dog too. She is not a fan of being kenneled but is ok in an enclosed room.

Patches is also deaf - but you'd never know! - She understands hand gestures and quickly figures out what's going on.

Due to her demeanor, Patches would not do well in a "busy" household or with young children.

*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.
