Description:

Meet Dottie!
Dottie is a sweet, gentle pup who’s doing wonderfully with potty training. As long as she’s kept on a regular puppy potty schedule, accidents are minimal—and when they do happen, she reliably uses puppy pads. She occasionally has excited or nervous pee accidents, but those are already becoming rare as she settles in and gains confidence.

She does great with other dogs, who have been fantastic role models for her and are helping her build confidence and learn good puppy manners. Dottie is also good with cats—she mostly ignores them, though curious kittens trying to play may catch her attention.

Dottie absolutely loves to cuddle and stay close to her people. She’s affectionate, gentle, and just the sweetest little companion.

She hasn’t started leash training yet, so that will be something her future family can work on together.

When her people leave, Dottie does let you know—she has some mild separation anxiety and may whine or give a few small barks at first. However, she seems to redirect herself fairly quickly, and she’s quiet when people are home aside from the occasional playful yip. With consistency and reassurance, this should continue to improve.

Dottie is a loving, loyal pup who’s ready to blossom even more in a patient, caring home

* Puppies under 5 months should not be left alone for more than 4 hours at a time to help them with potty training and socialization.

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.
