My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bella is a sweet little lady who gets along with everyone she meets. She's a tiny (8 lbs.) girl  who enjoys a good snuggle and loves to burrow under the blankets at bedtime.   

She's mature and well mannered. She's potty trained, and is adjusting well to using a crate when her foster mom has to have in-office days. She rides well in a car and wouldn't mind a stroll around the block for a few sniffs, but she isn't overly athletic.   
 Bella's human sadly passed away and she would love a new lap to warm. Other fur friends are not a necessity, but she certainly wouldn't say no to having friends.   
Despite her maturity she doesn't have any major health issues, but would benefit with a tooth brushing routine to keep her extra healthy. She recently had a cleaning and still has all of her teeth! Bella also will require regular grooming appointments to keep her coat trimmed and healthy. 
 We're not sure how she would do with apartment life. Her foster mom is worried that she might bark at noises from neighbors when you aren't home which might be an issue. 
 
 

To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $250 donation is requested at the time of adoption. All of our adoptions are contingent upon an approved application, home visit, reference check, obedience training agreement, and signing of adoption contract. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. Our dogs are companion animals that live indoors as part of your family. Please do not apply if your plan is to have them as outside dogs, garage dogs, porch dogs or outside kennel dogs.  We do not ship dogs. 

 



All of our dogs are in private foster homes. We are not a shelter with hours. A visit can be arranged after an adoption questionnaire has been filled out and sent in. Please try to email first. We are all volunteers that work so we can not easily take or make phone calls.

Additional adoption info

The first step in our adoption process is filling out and an adoption questionnaire that helps up match the right dog with the right person. Then our group reviews the questionnaires, then one of our members contacts the person that seems to fit to talk more and meet the dog and family. We do have adoption fees that help cover the cost of spay and neutered and vaccinations. Our fees also go into a general fund that help us take care of some dogs come to us with health extra health needs.

More about this rescue

We are not a shelter but a small group foster homes. We rescue dogs from high kill shelters and puppymills. We also take owner surrenders. All of our dogs are spayed and neutered and have current vaccinations before being adopted.
We are a "network" of volunteer rescuers in the Midwest. Many of us have known one another for years from helping with various local rescue groups, shelters, and national breed rescue groups. All of us have had the experience of coming across a dog that needed help that didn’t have a rescue group that could take them into their program. We were finding that regardless of breed or whether a dog is "purebred", there are many of us out there who wanted to help these dogs and need a place to list them. Therefore, we decided to start Midwest Dog Rescue Network to help rescuers help dogs that would otherwise "fall through the cracks". We are a collection of rescuers and some good-hearted individuals, who are just trying to help as many good dogs find homes as possible.
