Meet Flo!

Flo is a dachshund mix that arrived at MARS with a slew of health issues including having demodex mange (which caused her to lose her fur) and being positive for heartworm - both of which are treatable and not contagious to other dogs. While working through her medical issues, her wonderful personality has been shining through!

Flo has completed her heart worm treatment, and is growing her fur back like a champ. She is very well house trained, and goes potty right away as soon as you bring her outside - especially if it is a little chilly outside!

Though Flo has some gray fur coming in, don't be fooled - she is 6 years young and has lots more years of happiness ahead of her! She loves to be active and trot from room to room to see what the humans are up to. Some of her favorite activities include pulling the stuffing (and squeakers!) out of squeaky toys, furiously wagging her tail, and snuggling up under the covers!

Flo would prefer a quieter environment for her forever home. She gets along with other dogs, but sometimes she can get bossy when they try to get attention from her human. She needs humans who can be patient and firm with her, to teach her that she will always get love and affection, even if another dog is around getting love too! She currently has one canine sibling that is very laid back, and she gets along great with him.

If you have enough love in your heart and home to bring Flo into them, we can guarantee you won’t be disappointed! She will give back that love tenfold!

Flo has so much love to give.... will you be the one to give her a chance?

*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.
