Description:
Hi there! I’m Gabby. I wasn’t born with opposable thumbs so I’ve asked my foster mom to write what I tell her. I’ve been settling into life with my foster mom and dad and we’ve been working on some very interesting games. We play Sit, and we play Down, and my favorite is off-leash Come at the park. We go to Doggie Classes each week so my foster mom can learn how to treat me. And did I tell you I can dance with my toys? (My foster dad says it’s like watching a "Clydesdale ballet" when I jump to catch the toy I just threw.)
I’m pretty protective of our home and hate it when someone knocks at the door (what business do they have at My door?). My mom never worries when she’s home alone at night: I’ll take care of her. I will sit beside her or with my head on her leg and when she tries to move I will kiss her and tell her it’s all right and would she please hand me my rawhide so I have something to keep myself busy with? Oh, and will she please hold the end of it for me too? I’m nearly perfect with my housebreaking and that makes my mom very happy. I like to be in the kitchen with my mom or dad, but it gets crowded so when they tell me to "get out of my kitchen," I do. Their garbage is pretty boring, too, so I never give it more than a polite sniff. Shoes and furniture isn’t all that interesting either, not like my fun fluffy squeaky toys! I love our walks when I can nibble grass, greet the neighbors, or watch squirrels run. When we walk I show off how I can do "Gabby stop" at street corners and wait to hear "Gabby go" before I cross the street. (We are very safe.) When I get ahead of Mom she reminds me, "Walk with me." (She also tells me that when I get distracted by another dog, but I prefer not to listen just then.) People often stop as they’re driving by to tell my foster mom what a pretty girl I am and to ask questions about me. They seem very interested in me and they haven’t even seen me dance yet! I’d really like to be in a home that doesn’t have cats (the way they move is REALLY FREAKY!) – makes me want to chase them and sometimes I’m too enthusiastic. I just don’t understand them. At night I sleep in my kennel but I don’t go there until Mom or Dad says "Gabby go bed." If you have a Forever Home for me I would like to meet you. I have a heart full of love to give. Please feel free to fill out an ADOPTION on our main website, www.midwestanimalrescue.org, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features. Thank You! *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.
