Description:

Viola is adorable and a bundle of wiggles. Although she may look full grown she is a puppy at heart. Viola is very curious and plays well with others although she does prefer friends that have her same energy level over older dogs and cats.

She loves playing fetch with stuffed toys but squeaky toys are a little startling right now. She prefers soft things over a tennis ball which seems a little scary.

She is great in her kennel, needs work with her housetraining and her foster has not tried a leash on her yet. She's eager to learn and is already working on being more comfortable and confident. With some love and more training she will be an amazing dog.

For someone looking for a lovey snuggle bug and who is willing to put in the work to help her reach her potential, Viola is the dog for you!

I do have a condition known as cherry eye. Unfortunately, no surgery for cherry eye is known to be 100% successful. MARS will cover one attempt at surgical repair. If failure occurs, any future attempts at repair will be the responsibility of my adopter.

Cherry eye while not the prettiest, does not typically have a huge impact on the quality of a pet's life.

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! 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. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

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.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. 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.
