Description:
UPDATE FROM THE VET: Lorna is a very nice girl and walks well on a leash.

Lorna came from a rural puppy mill. She had never lived a day of her life as a normal pet in a home, with the love and attention a pet deserves. She likely spent 24 hours a day in a crate, where she had to eat, sleep and potty. It is possible she has never even been petted in her life. She was just rescued from that terrible life and is now in a special foster home to help her learn what it is like to be a dog.

Because Lorna came from a rural breeder, she needs help with socialization and adjusting to life in a home environment. Fenced yards and a home with other stable dogs to show them the ropes are best for dogs coming from this type of situation.

Find out how rewarding it can be to teach this poor girl how to love and be loved.

AN UPDATE FROM LORNA'S FOSTER HOME:

Lorna is settling right in at her foster home. She is always excited to see her foster mother come home from work. She is even starting to get used to her foster dad. She loves walks, but loves to take it easy, not too fast. She loves to explore everything with her mouth, but since she moves slowly her foster parents can keep her out of trouble. She is almost completely housetrained, every once in a while she gets alittle too excited. She loves to sleep and eat in her crate. She also loves to curl up by your feet when you are reading or watching TV.

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.
