Meet Nan!

Update from Foster 3/12/14

Nan or (Nina, the name she knows) is now about 2 years old. She is a Rat Terrier Bully Breed mix - easy to see now that she is full grown. She is one of the nicest dogs I have fostered. She has been with me since she was 6 months old.

She is calm, loving, and very gentle. She is gentle with a puppy that wants to chew on her all the time, she is gentle with young children, with everyone! She loves to watch out the window, chew raw hides or Dura bones and go for walks. Car rides are not her favorite. On longer trips, she needs to take some medicine ahead of time to keep from getting car sick. She is ok for short trips and the medicine helps her with the long ones.

She is gently playful, gets along with other dogs, but not fond of cats. There are a number of semi-feral cats across the street who walk around outside the fence just to taunt her. She barks at the cats, and watches for the squirrels in the trees, looking up to see if they are in tree branches.

She is a wonderful family dog, a beautiful looking dog (people stop me when I walk her to tell me how pretty she is) and loved by everyone who comes to my house. She is over all the challenging puppy behaviors, never has accidents indoors, and is fine free in the house when alone. She cannot be crated - she must have been left in a crate too long as a young puppy and it frightens her, she will hurt herself trying to get out - but does not need to be crated, she is so well behaved.

She has graduated from obedience school, and has been taught a routine - she sits, lies down, sits up, than shakes hands with one paw, than the other. She is smart and learns easily. She is waiting to shake paws with 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.
