Description:
Hi, my name is Hope!

I got that name because everyone is hoping I can have a better life from now on. You see, I was owned by a bad man. The first time I went in to heat, he bred me. He wanted to make money off of my puppies. I have a scar on my neck because the collar I had got to small on me, and grew in to my skin. Then he used me as a bait dog, where dogs who were trained to be mean bit me! I got a bad bite on my ear, so my owner cut it off! Can you believe that? I also had a bad bite on my forehead that got infected. And, after everything he did to me in my first year of life, he dropped me off at a shelter, and left me to die!

Well, I showed him! The people at the shelter took really good care of me. They gave me surgery to fix my forehead, got me spayed so no one can make money off my puppies again, and gave me shots and medicine so I'd get well. The people at the shelter loved me so much, they found an emergency foster home to help me recover. I'm staying with 7 other dogs, and am having a great time.

Everyone says I'm very smiley! And quite the lover-girl! I absolutely love people, I am housebroken and crate trained. I have beautiful amber eyes, and everyone says I am very pretty. I've had a rough life, but I'm ready to be the love of your life!

But, now it's time for me to start to search for my forever home. MARS has agreed to help me. I'm in a loving foster home where they will finish helping me get used to being a family pet. I'm hoping my forever home will have a warm bed, good food, and lots of love and attention. Can you help me? I'd love you forever!

Love,
Hope

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.
