Description:
Pi is a very sweet and loving girl who enjoys curling up by your feet or cuddling on the couch.

She is also very playful and loves to go for walks or play with toys. She very much enjoys the company of other dogs and would benefit from having a canine companion to play with. Pi has been easy to train and is motivated easily by treats and has learned to "sit" and "stay".

She is coming along nicely with her potty training, and even cries at the door when she needs to go out. It would be nice for someone to be home at least part of the day, as she does need to go out to potty often.

She is not food agressive with the other dogs or with people in the least. She's totally ok with the other dogs eating out of her bowl, or if a person takes her bowl while she's eating. Pi is growing quickly and will be a large dog when full-grown as her mother is 100 pounds.

With this in mind, we have been very aware of when she tries to show dominance or shows any "alpha" behaviors. She has quickly learned her place amongst the other dogs and all of the members of our family.

Her new family will need to be consistent in this area, as she will test the boundaries and needs gentle reminders that she is not the boss. In our home, she has become very content in finding her place at the bottom of the pack and is no longer challenging any of us or our dogs to become leader, but this will need to continue to be monitored as she grows up.

Pi has been wonderful with our dogs, cats, and farm animals. She also really enjoys playing with my kids, and is proving to be a fabulous family dog.

I also think that Pi will be a great water dog and will enjoy swimming once summer rolls around. She seems naturally attracted to water and even likes to come into the shower to play with the water.

She'll be a great addition to an active family and will re-pay your love a thousand times over with her sweet little kisses.

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.
