Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. // Find our applications at www.midwestanimalrescue.orgAdoption Fee: $350 plus taxHello to my future family! My name is Betty Boop and I am so excited to meet you! I recently had a litter of 11 puppies and am ready to begin life without them! Foster mom says I am the easiest foster dog she has ever had (and she’s had a lot!) and have the perfect temperament for one lucky family. Now that the babies are gone (adopted or other fosters), my personality is really beginning to shine. I am a fun and frisky young lady (estimated around 1.5-2 years) and I always have a huge smile on my face. I currently live with three resident dogs (9 year old female Lab mix, 5 year old male Pittie mix, and 1 year old female Great Pyrenees mix). We also have one other foster, a 7 month old female Shepard mix. Foster mom is amazed at how calmly and quickly I was able to integrate with the other dogs. I know she appreciates that I don’t come in “hot,” but take my time to really get to know them before the playtime begins. When I am feeling super playful, I play with the younger dogs, but when I want to snuggle and cuddle, my go to is Henri (pittie mix). We are working on some training, but I have been learning a lot from the resident dogs. I am potty trained and can either hold it forever or will run to any door that leads outside. I am very regular in my potty habits! I am also comfortable in a kennel. I am not kenneled much here since I have earned free roaming rights, but I do still eat in my kennel and am kenneled when foster mom leaves the house. We have worked a lot on impulse control, and since I’ve been here, I now take treats nicely from a sit, wait at the door to be invited in/out, sit and wait for food, and have stopped jumping (99% of the time). I have a pretty good sit, down, and leave it’s, and am working on a few other things. It helps that my foster mom is a professional dog trainer and has been super patient with my learning process. When in doubt, a quick “uh uh” will stop me and get my attention. I absolutely LOVE toys. Seriously…any toy! My favorites are rope toys and taking the stuffing out of stuffed toys. I play a lot of tug with rope toys with the other dogs or with foster mom. Toys that keep me occupied are things like large nylabones, deer antlers and rope toys. I am also good at sharing toys, and don’t show any signs of guarding toys (or food or anything…now that the puppies are gone). Foster mom says I am the perfect candidate for a Super Chewer Bark Box! I love people! I will give you a big smile and a wiggle butt and be your best friend after a few treats as a hello. Foster mom says I am a master cuddler and very person focused. Even while playing with the other dogs, if foster mom leaves the room, I am going to follow her to make sure I don’t miss out! I don’t have any signs of separation anxiety…I just like to be near my human(s). In the beginning I would lay on top of her as much as possible, but now I have learned to snuggle at the side or cuddle in a dog bed near her. I will admit that I am being treated for heartworm. Luckily, we caught it early, so I don’t exhibit any signs. I am currently on medications and have my game plan all scheduled out! I am also scheduled for my spay in early August. Foster mom says the care is easy as long as the directions are followed, and that I am still the same loveable gal! Are you the family for me? Maybe you just want the ultimate cuddler (oh yeah, I love the cuddles!). I always have a happy face for my human, and just love to be near you! Foster mom says that she can tell that I just want to please the humans…get the cuddles…and eat all the treats! I would do great with any family, with or without other dogs. Fill out an app to meet me…you won’t be disappointed! * I did test positive for heartworm and will be receiving treatment provided by MARS to live a long healthy life. *A dog with Heartworms is not directly contagious to other animals.
