Description:

Mia FKA Ninfa was adopted a while back and is now coming back to rescue as her family is concerned with how she may react when the newborn baby grows into a toddler. This has been a very difficult decision from her family but Mia has dispalyed what is known as sleep startle reflex. This means that sometimes when Mia is woken suddenly her brain tells her she is in danger and she reacts to protect herself. If you say her name and talk to her until she is awake enough to realize it's you she backs right down. Unfortunately a baby/toddler won't be able to to that.

Mia is eager to meet new people, engaging with the strangers within minutes. One of Mia’s favorite pastimes is napping! Mia is a sweet girl who should be able to build a strong bond with a new owner, especially one who will work with her on some basics and focus work. She loves having a job to do for you.

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.
