Description:

Hi My name is Tessa!

I had something really scary happen recently. I was with my owner in the car, driving down the street, when suddenly he picked me up and threw me out the window! Can you believe that? A sweet baby like me...thrown out the window of a moving vehicle!

Any ways, I was really lucky that I didn't get hurt! A nice lady that rescues these "Catahoula Leopard Dogs" saw the whole incident, and ran over to help me. She hugged me and took me home with her, so I would be safe. The dog rescue that she works with can't take me, since I'm a little bully breed girl.....so I'm coming to MARS!

My savior said I've never met a stranger. I think she says that because I love everyone! I also love other dogs, but I've never met a cat before. Because I'm still a puppy, I like to chew on things right now. So my foster or forever home should have some rawhides and chew toys for me, so I don't accidentally chew up a shoe or something important! I've also heard it said that I'm "good on a leash", whatever that means!

Right now I'm getting spayed and some other vet work done. I'll be arriving in rescue on 10/4/09. Can you help me when I arrive? I hope to meet you soon!

XOXO

Tessa

*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.
