Description:
Meet Duchess!

Duchess has been with her family for about 3 years, and up until about 6 months ago was a loved member of the home. Then the family got a new, cute little Min-Pin puppy, and lost interest in Duchess. Duchess was deemed an 'outdoor dog,' and was banished to the back yard. She missed her family, so she started jumping the fence to be near them. This only got her put on a chain, where she now resides all day long. She rarely receives attention from the family, and the only walks she gets are from the kind neighbor.

This same kind neighbor intervened when the family told them they were going to 'get rid' of Duchess. She contacted rescues, and we were happy to help find Duchess a home where she'll get the 'royal treatment' that she deserves.

Duchess is spayed and housetrained. She is playful, and sweet as the day is long. Loves, loves, loves people and lives to go for walks. She is a little shy and can be timid when meeting new people and dogs - but once introduced and she feels safe, she's very friendly. She is not at all dominant and if a strange dog comes up to her she will try to make friends, but if they appear the least bit aggressive or hostile, she'll back away and retreat. She's wonderful with children. She has never been around cats, so we do not know her behavior towards them.

Can you give Duchess the loving home she deserves?

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.
