Description:

Sandy is a darling old girl who just wants someone to love her.  She can't
get enough pets on her face and will lay her head right in your lap to get
them.  She gets nervous in unfamiliar areas, and prefers the comforts of
home.  She does still love her walks around the neighborhood, but isn't
fond of car rides because they can make her sick to her tummy.  She would
be a great companion for someone who is retired or home a lot, as she is
happiest curled up next to her human.  She loves to play with her plush
toy babies, and adores playing fetch - even though she might try to eat
the tennis ball!

Sandy has some resource guarding issues (mostly toys) but could do well
with another dog with a calm, understanding demeanor, and some time for  
adjustment.  Sandy and her foster sister started off on rough terms, but
have grown to be good friends.  She loves cats, and will simply sit by
them any time they let her!  She may need some time to get used to a new
home, but once she feels safe and comfortable, she will make an amazing
and loyal friend.

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.
