Description:
Rafferty, aka Freckles, is a bright, alert, smart dog who already knows "Sit," & "Down." She is very trainable as she is treat motivated. She has young 10 mth. old pup energy but not hyper at all and settles down in the house with a marrow chew bone or deer antler. She is learning to pull less on leash but enjoys walks. Freckles adores her squeeky toys & tennis balls (she will retrieve a ball and is learning to bring it back) and would do well with another playful dog. She likes to be close to you inside and sits by your feet with her toys. Initially she cries in her crate when you leave the house but she soon stops & lays nicely in her her crate. She sleeps in a crate at night and is completely house trained. Sometimes when she gets excited she does jump on you and bark, but then she settles & ceases. As the jumping could scare a toddler best a no toddler home. She does have a shy side initially but warms up when she trusts you. She bonds easily with folks that will love on her. She is thin right now as she came into the shelter as a stray -- but with continued high protein food and immune builders she will keep adding necessary weight & be a beautiful red merle girl :0) 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.
