Description:

Meet Windy,

Windy is a very sweet, gentle, intelligent, and a well-behaved dog. She does well with everybody. She listens great, follows you around, sleeps in her kennel but when invited she likes curling up to sleep with you. She can stay home alone nicely up to 5 hours so far (Her foster hasn't tried longer than that yet)

Good with all dogs, big and small! Windy plays nicely with dogs in her foster's neighborhood
She's been great with her 12-year-old human foster brother and his friends. She would likely do fine with younger children as well.
She is food motivated, knows few basic commands such as, sit, lay down, stay, come. Windy is currently attending training classes with her foster mom. As a puppy, she is still learning. She will benefit from continued basic obedient training classes.
She does pretty well on leash and is working on learning the "heel" command.
She enjoys playing with her rope toys
Windy is housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go outside for a potty by going to the front door.
She is gentle and quiet, not a big barker.
She sleeps through the night in her kennel

*Windy isn't fond of running cars/motorcycles, vacuum cleaners or lawn mowers. She is intimidated by cars zipping by while she is taking a walk and sometimes will sit down at an intersection, reluctant to go. She likely developed this fear during her time as a stray - the big bad world can be very scary to a tiny puppy after all. Her foster family is working on this and her adoptive family will need to continue to work with Windy on this.

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.
