Description:
Meet Fontaine!

Fontaine just may be the happiest puppy of all time. He LOVES everyone and every thing! His whole body wags when he sees you (he even wags his tail when he's eating). He has all the loveable qualities of a puppy, without the trouble that usually comes along with a dog this young. It appears Fountaine is a yellow labrador retriever, possibly mixed with a hound. At about 5-6 months, Fontaine is approximately 25 pounds and will probably be double this weight when full grown. He is very coordinated and in control of his body which is unusual for a dog this age.

This sweet boy is great with children and gentle with toddlers. He loves attention, playing fetch and going for walks. He doesn't pull on the leash, so he'd be easy to walk for a child of any age. Amazingly, Fontaine doesn't do any play biting that puppies usually do and he hasn't chewed anything he wasn't supposed to. Toys and rawhide seem to be all this pup needs to get chewing out of his system.

Fontaine loves other dogs and has made fast friends with the resident dog at his foster home. There are also two adult cats there who he's very curious about, but he has never chased or tried to hurt them.

Fontaine would be a smart choice for someone who has never had a puppy before because he's so easy to care for. He would love a home with a fenced yard, a buddy to pal around with (dog or child) and, most importantly, a loving family to shower him with love, attention and the care he deserves. Won't you make Fontaine your own?

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! 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. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

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.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. 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.
