Description:
GORGEOUS GIRL NEEDS HELP!Anastasia is a 2-year old female Greater Swiss Mountain Dog mix who was housed in a rural animal control facility who regularily utilizes the gas chamber as a method of population control within the facility. Volunteers begged for her life and twice were successful. After that, they were out of options ... There was no hope of a stay of execution the third time. Thankfully, MARS found a loving foster home to help this girl out while she searches for her forever home. Anastasia is a fun-loving girl with a friendly disposition who truly won the hearts of the pound volunteers. She has a beautiful shiny black/white short smooth coat with just a few brown highlights and a bright smile. Anastasia quickly discovered a toy in the exercise area the day she had her photo taken and loved nothing better than a good game of fetch. She loves attention and is looking for a family to call her own. UPDATE FROM ANASTASIA'S FOSTER: Anastasia is doing very well. She is completely housebroken, and whines when she needs to go out. She seems to be just beginning to learn what toys and treats are for, and sometimes acts very puppyish. She likes to follow me everywhere, so she doesn't like to go in her crate, but will when there is a piece of cheese involved! I think she'd do fine staying loose in the house, but we're working up to that level of trust. Please feel free to fill out an Adoption application on our main website, www.midwestanimalrescue.org, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features. Thank You! 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.
