Description:
Emma Lou is an 8 year old female Rottweiler. Her owner went to jail and no one in the family came to get her out of the shelter. My heart breaks for her, a shelter is no where to spend her golden years. She is pretty lazy so I think she’d make an awesome pet. She is heartworm positive but MARS will be getting her through her treatments and she will be good as new soon! She is very laid back and just loves to lie down and watch the world go by. She is quite overweight at this time at around 90# so a diet and exercise plan would be good for her. She LOVES tennis balls but I think it’s hard for her to chase them because of her extra weight, so she usually rolls around on the ground with them. She is a lover girl and very, very sweet. Her cat test went well. She really didn’t pay any attention to the cat at all. Then the cat hit her in the face and she got scared and walked away. She has done great with other dogs. Since she is older, she would probably do best with more calm dogs. She does get growly if she thinks another dog is going to take her tennis ball or if she’s eating or drinking. It’s more like “go away” talk, and if you know rotties you know that they are "talkers". The shelter had her with other dogs who were relaxed and friendly, so they didn’t care and she didn’t care. To know Emma is to love Emma. <3
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.
