Description:

Amelia is your dream-dog-in-training. She was dumped in the Oklahoma countryside with her mom and 2 littermates, and came into rescue skin and bones, covered in ticks. Despite that traumatic recent past, she is 100% easygoing. She is happy and confident with the resident dogs, but respects the alpha dog’s authority. She is curious about the cats but gives them space. She goes to the door to be let out and has had no accidents. She goes into her crate willingly at bedtime, and is quiet as a mouse until you let her out in the morning.

Amelia is about 7 months old, 30 pounds, about 18” tall at the withers. My hunch is that she’ll top out around 45-50 pounds. She’s cute as button now, and is going to grow into a beautiful/handsome adult.

She’s *highly* food-motivated. She has tried to counter-surf a bit, but even in her first couple of days with us she’s quickly learned to just lie quietly in (or out of) the kitchen while we’re cooking instead of trying to get ALL THE FOODS ALL THE TIME. She has learned to sit before being given her food bowl. She has typical puppy exhuberance and will jump up to say HELLO! HI! DO YOU WANT TO PET ME?! (so introductions to humans younger than 10 should be supervised/coached) but is learning “off” and “sit” and “leave it." She is learning How To Dog from the resident dogs, and follows them when I whistle or say “Dogs, come!” She doesn’t seem to have leash experience but she’s a willing learner.

She is happy to chill in her open-door crate, on a dog bed, or next to you on the couch after some exercise. Amelia is very social; she’s met new humans (adults and tweens) with perfect manners. Amelia would do fine as an only dog, but I think she would love to have canine siblings and would probably have a lot of fun at off-leash dog parks. She’s generally quiet; we’ve only heard a couple of isolated barks so far.

With a little TLC and stability and some basic obedience, Amelia is going to make somebody an excellent family dog. Maybe it’s 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.

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.
