Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. // Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee: $550 plus taxHello to my future family! My name is Honolulu, but foster mom calls me Loki Dokey or Lulu. I am so excited to meet you! I cam up from Mississippi with my mom, Graceland, and two brothers (one already adopted). I am currently about 15 lbs., and foster mom estimates me to be around 35-40 lbs as an adult. The perfect size she says! What you will love about me is my beautiful coloring and the smile that never leaves my face! I am a fun and frisky little boy, and love other dogs. I currently live with three resident dogs; a 1.5 year old Great Pyrenees mix, a 5 year old Pittie mix, and a 10 year old Lab mix. I am learning so much from them now that I am the only puppy in the house. Foster mom is amazed at how calmly and quickly I was able to integrate with the other dogs. I know she appreciates that I don’t come in “hot,” but take my time to really get to know them before the playtime begins. I love playing with the resident dogs, and cuddling for naptime with the Pittie mix. I would love to have a doggy sibling so we can play chase and tug! We are working on some training, but I have been learning a lot from the resident dogs. I am mostly potty trained, which is pretty good for my young age. On a consistent schedule, I don’t have accidents in the house! I am also comfortable in a kennel, and sometimes just go rest in there. We have already worked a lot on impulse control and have already shown progress in waiting patiently for food/treats and decreasing the jumping behaviors. I have a pretty good sit’s and am working on a few other things, but as a puppy, we are taking it slow. It helps that my foster mom is a professional dog trainer and is super patient with my learning process. I have been walking pretty good on a leash for a puppy, but will still need some work on that one. When in doubt, a quick “uh uh” will stop me and get my attention. Finally, I am very treat motivated so am super easy to train! I love people! I will give you a big smile and a wiggle butt and be your best friend after a few treats as a hello. I really want to please my human(s) and am trying really hard to make the best decisions! So make sure to reward me when I make good decisions. Foster mom says I am a very typical doggy puppy, and it just takes some patience and good boundaries. More than anything, I am working on building my confidence, which means foster mom gives me so many news things and new sounds and then lets me know how awesome I am. I am a high energy dog (Cattle dog mutt), so I really like to play and have fun activities! Are you the family for me? Maybe you just want a dog for your dog? I always have a happy face for my human, and just love to be near you! Foster mom says that she can tell that I just want to please the humans…get the cuddles…and eat all the treats! I would do great with any family and would do best with a confident playful older dog. Fill out an app to meet me…you won’t be disappointed! * Puppies under 5 months should not be left alone for more than 4 hours at a time to help them with potty training and socialization. If you have previously applied with us please email adoptionatmars@gmail.com to reactivate your application with new interest. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. or *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. //
