Description:

This little girl has had a rough start. When she arrived from Texas she was terrified of people and loud sounds and quick movements. She didn't have a clue about going outside. Her tail didn't cone up from between her legs for nearly 2 weeks but gradually, with a lot of consistency and patience and love, she has learned to announce her need to go outside, she will come when called and she will snuggle on her human's lap. She is learning to play chase with her foster siblings and has even started to play fetch with soft squeaky toys.

She needs a calm home without a lot of activity (loud or gruff voices or active children). She continues to need socialization and patience. It will take a few days to bond during which time she should be allowed to go at her own pace. Initially she might need a "safe haven" (like a crate with an open door in the family living space). But she will reward you with Puppy kisses and warm hugs.
Canelo can be an alert barker when she hears noises so a shared wall home would not be good.

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.
