Description:

Meet Gidget,

Gidget's foster family has renamed her Mona, since she doesnt really look like a gidget!

  Mona is a big, loving puppy. She is still a bit clumsy when she runs 
and stumbles on her own paws. It is so funny to watch! Her goals in  life are to be at your side, play, and be told she is a ‘good girl’. Mona is one of the smartest dogs I’ve seen. She learned ‘sit’, ‘stay’, and ‘leave-it’ in 20 minutes one night, and then 
‘down’ and ‘shake’ in 10 minutes the next night.  You could train her to do anything. She is just so eager to please! Some of Mona’s other favorite activities are going to the park, playing with her stuffed animals, having her ears scratched, and laying at your feet.

  Crate training is going well. She goes in easily with a kong or treat, and stays crated 8-9 hours while my husband and I are at work and sleeps there over night.  We keep her on a schedule and training her to use a bell to tell us she needs to go outside. We haven’t had an accident in a while.  She does well on a leash. There are no problems at all if there is a gentle leader, but she will pull if we see another dog. She gets so excited at the opportunity of a new playmate!

   Mona is an only dog now, and she is fine like that, but I think she 
would love a dog brother or sister to play with and to have them  
show Mona the ropes. We have a cat that she is interested in, but  
Mona just wants to play. Then she looks at me and you can read on her very expressive face, “Why won’t the cat play with me? I’m so fun and cute!” And you know what? She really is!

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.
