Description:

Tara is a 5 yr old female who is being surrendered by her owner, who can no longer care for her due to a progressive muscular disease.

She is a beautiful girl who gets along with everything and everyone!!!

UPDATE FROM TARA'S ADOPTIVE HOME, JULY 26TH, 2011:

Tara is doing great! I just love her, she gets along with the kitty like a brother 
and a sister too! Sounds corny but they behave at times like 2 kids. Tara has 
a large fenced in yard, she likes to "walk the perimeter like German Shepards do". 
When I am not working she goes everywhere with me- weather permitting. She 
just started barking when the door bell rings or someone knocks about 6 months 
ago and I am glad she does. She's quite the attention hog, at the vet for her check 
ups she rolls over and gets her belly scratched and gets a treat from the doctor. 
They just talk to her like a baby. I've taken her to the nursing home to visit my 
mother and they just love her there! All the residents reach out to pet  her and talk to her
and she just wags her tail and sucks up all the attention.

*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.
