Description:

Sweetums has fit in nicely with her foster family. Her foster family has four dogs and she gets along great with all of them. We do not know how she will be with cats yet. She is working on her housetraining but it is still a work in progress. She is about 75% trained. She sleeps through the night with no accidents and knows to go out as soon as she wakes up with her four foster siblings but occasionally during the day she will have an accident. She is good to be in a kennel when her foster family is away but so far has not been kenneled when it is bedtime. She sleeps at the base of the bed curled up with the other dogs. During the day she enjoys lounging in one of the many dog beds laying around the house or one of the lounge chairs in the backyard when outside. She has not tried to dig anything up in the yard.

Sweetums is great to walk on a leash. She was hesitant at first to walk on a leash when she first went home with her foster family always wanting to look back to make sure she was not alone but after a few days she walks confident on a leash strolling along. She does not pull and has not shown interest in any wildlife that may cross her path during a walk. She still has a way to go yet but given the progress she has made in just a few days her foster family is confident she will be mastering walks soon. She is friendly with both adults and children. She has not barked a lot but does get excited when she is playing with the other dogs in the back yard. She has taken a liking to her squeaky toys and chews on a Kong stuffed with peanut butter. She loves to be brushed and sat nicely when her nails were trimmed. She is always alert to make sure her people are visible to her.

*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.
