Description:

Hi, my name is Daphne!

I had puppies recently, then once they were whelped, I found myself out on the street! Now that's no way to treat a new mommy! I guess my last owner was done with me, and probably made money off of my babies. But, after whelping pups, and being on my own for a bit, I got pretty skinny. Lucky for me, I was found in a park by a really nice lady, and she took me to her house.

I'm currently living with a black lab/great dane and a puggle, and I get along great with them. I like going to the dog park and walking, running and playing there. My foster mom is very impressed with how well I listen to her. I saw a squirrel one day and went to chase it down as I love to chase things, and Mom called me and I turned right around and came back to her! I can be a little protective of my food, but only around other dogs. My foster Mom is teaching me that I don't need to be and I am getting a lot more comfortable with sharing my treats and toys with my foster sisters. I'm always gentle around people, when taking treats, or when I'm eating. You can even take my treats away while I'm enjoying them and I won't mind.

Sometimes I get really excited and I like to jump up on you to get closer and give you kisses! But my foster Mom doesn't like that and is teaching me to stay down when I get excited. I'm a fast learner too! I know sit, down, stay and I'll go lay in my bed when you say "Bed". I'm kennel trained too so just tell me to get in and I'll run for my kennel, don't forget to give me a chew toy though, or else I get bored in there all day long. I'll even wait for you to prepare my food and eat when you tell me it's okay. I love kids too. I don't jump on them because they are short enough and closer to me so I just lick their faces. I'm also a good guard dog. I will let you know if there is someone near the house that I can hear or see out the window and I will be quiet when you tell me to. I love visitors of all sorts. My foster mom has people over a lot and I love when new people come! I like men, women and children!

Please adopt me! I promise to be the best dog in the world if you will give me a loving home and a warm bed to sleep in.

*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.
