Description:

Gidget needs a new foster-her foster mom is allergic!

Gidget is a yellow lab mix. She arrived in Minnesota from a high-kill
shelter in Ohio and joined her foster family on 3/21/10. Estimated to be
about one year old, Gidget weighs a strong and sturdy 47 lbs.

This sweet girl has quickly warmed up to her foster family, always excited
to get their attention and eager to play. She's a quick learner too,
understanding the boundaries set for her (like staying out of certain
rooms and not going upstairs). She’s completely house trained, knows how
to sit, and goes easily into her crate. Her foster family hasn't heard a
peep from her during the night, just a little whining and barking when
they leave. She's very patient with little kids and gets along with other
dogs.

Her foster family feels confident that Gidget is VERY smart and can be
trained very easily. In the house, Gidget comes when called. Outside,
however, she likes to run away so she needs to be fenced or kept on a
leash until trained. She’s very comfortable begging at the dinner table
and cozying up on the sofa. She also jumps up when she’s excited to see
someone, but she’s learning to stay down. She’s learning to walk (and run)
on a leash. To give her as much exercise as she appears to need, her
foster family has been biking around the block with her a few times every
day in addition to her walking and fetching.

Thanks!

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.
