My story

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

Betsy is a tiny, 6-pound bundle of sweetness who is 7 years old. Despite a rough start in life as a breeding dog in a puppy mill, Betsy’s loving personality shines through. She has recently discovered the joys of exploring the backyard and running around freely.

Betsy is wonderful with other dogs and loves to snuggle and hang out with them. While she hasn’t lived with cats, we believe she would be fine with them. Betsy hasn’t had experience with children, but she should do well with kids who are gentle and not too loud.

This little lady is a bit timid around people at first. She will come up to you but might scurry away if you try to pick her up. However, she gets more comfortable the more time she spends with you. Betsy is not leash trained, so she would do best in a home with a yard rather than an apartment.

Betsy is making great progress with house training, using pee pads and going outside, which is impressive for a dog who spent her life in a cage. She recently had dental work done and lost several teeth, but it hasn’t slowed her down one bit. Betsy will soon be getting spayed and having a hernia repair.

Betsy is looking for a loving home where she can continue to blossom.

To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $400 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.
