Description:

Meet Justine!
She was shy at first, coming into a house with a dog already. She needed love. She got it, from my Brutus and me. We let her acclimate to her surroundings on her own timeline. But, in the past few days, this is what I have noticed:
* Justine is shy, yet very outgoing. She loves to be petted, but is just as happy laying around by you.
* She is not food aggressive, as she and my dog eat at the same time, about six feet apart.
* She is very well house and crate trained. Her tell for needing to go out is to go to the door, stand there until she thinks you have seen her, walk around by you, and then back to the door until you come to take her out.
* She knows the command ‘sit’, but I have not gotten her to do any other commands.
* She is okay on the leash, although I would suggest using a martingale as she is a puller. She is strong. She learns quickly, so leash training will be good for her.
* She is gentle. She is quiet.
* She plays well with others.
* She seems to drink water a lot - every time she comes into the house. But I attribute that to the heat and the acclimation (she may have had that withheld?) to her surroundings.
* She is afraid of raised voices. She sort of cowers, yet doesn’t totally. She does not try to investigate. She just stays to herself.

Justine is such a joy to have around. A good play buddy, and a good snuggler, to my dog. Her tail is always wagging! She is such a happy girl.

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.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

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.
