Description:

Meet Gretchen,

Gretchen is coming from a rural puppy mill. She has never lived a day of her life as a normal pet in a home, with the love and attention a pet deserves. She likely spent 24 hours a day in a crate, where she had to eat, sleep and potty. It is possible she has never even been petted in her life. She was just rescued from that terrible life and is now in need of a special foster home to help him learn what it is like to be a dog.

Because Gretchen came from a rural breeder, she needs help with socialization and adjusting to life in a home environment. She is at a temporary foster home but, she needs to be in a different environment. She would do really well in a home with another well adjusted dog. A fenced yard is also needed so that she can run free.

FOSTER UPDATE:Gretchen is a super sweet friendly, happy dog that loves to be around people and
other dogs! She like to play with toys and lay in the sun. She has not had an
accident in the house since we have had her in foster care. She is also clean in
her crate when we are away. Gretchen would love a family with another dog but would
do fine if solo. She is learning to walk on a leash and is going to be a pro very
soon!! Gretchen in a nut shell is a fabulous dog!!!

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.
