Description:

Desi has not had an easy go of things. It seems every time she thinks she is settled and home forever something happens out of her control. Back in December of 2022 her then owner dumped her off in an unfamiliar area in a snowstorm, she also had a partial blockage that resulted in surgery. We know that Desi wasn’t treated very well by her owners as she bears scars of the improper use of a shock collar. Once Desi was healed up she found her new best friend and had been living happily since March of 2023. Sadly her best friend is dealing with serious human medical problems and is unable to give Desi, who he calls Lulu, the care she needs. So she is now seeking a new home yet again.

Desi LOVES balls she will play fetch for hours if you are up for it. Always drops the ball in front of you waiting for you to throw it next. Her love of balls also means she needs to be monitored when around toys as she can also tear them apart. (We don’t want her to have another blockage)

Desi can be particular with the dogs she spends time with so for now she would do best without other dogs in the home.

While Desi can be a typical stubborn bulldog she also is very oriented towards people and wants to share her love with them and keep them safe even from strangers. Desi needs to continue working on understanding that most people are not a threat to her or those she loves. Given her past this will take time and patience.

Desi will require a fenced in yard in her adoptive home.

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.
