Description:

Meet Susie
Susie is an energetic and affectionate girl. She wants to play, play, play--tug-of-war with a blanket or towel, ball-chasing, all squeaky toys. She equally loves being pet, snuggling, and napping on the sofa with her people! Walks are essential for this high-energy pup, and she is pretty well-behaved though she zig-zags across the path because there are so many interesting things to sniff. When we meet other dogs and people, she's usually friendly and interested, approaching most people for pets and wagging nicely at dogs, but she does get a little fearful of random things, like footbridges, a toy left on the sidewalk, lots of people, and those green bags for water at the bottom of newly planted trees, but she can be coaxed past with encouragement and treats. She's been good with kids, though we haven't interacted with any off leash yet. She adores playing with one or two other dogs in a fenced-in yard and has outlasted everyone else so far.

We are working on house-training--Susie still needs frequent opportunities to go out and has been crated when alone in the house (up to four hours so far). She sleeps in her crate at night and will occasionally go in it on her own during the day to snooze or chew on her Bento ball if no one is playing with her. We haven't had a chance to interact with a cat yet, so that's unknown. If she can see other dogs passing on the street, she'll bark, but otherwise she's quiet in the house. She would do well with an owner who is willing to continue to teach her basic commands and house-training and she would love a fenced-in yard to run off energy. She'll reward you with endless kisses!

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.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. 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.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

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 without knowing a pet’s full history.
