Lea will do best with no small dogs or toy breeds Lea traveled halfway across the country to Minnesota having never been anyone's pet, and likely never living in a house. It was a rough first couple of weeks, but now Lea is embracing the role. She has come so far in just a few weeks! Lea is still uncomfortable with human touch, for obvious reasons, but she is trying so hard, and initiates contact on her terms by "poking" you with her nose or giving kisses. Her foster brother and sisters have been role models in receiving human love, and you can tell she wants to be a part of it. She does her very best to accept rubs without running away.
Now that Lea can freely and safely play, she is embracing puppyhood full throttle! With her giant paws, gangly legs, and awkwardness, it's hard to believe she is an adult. She loves to play with her furry friends and her toys, and even bounce around and play with humans as long as a lot of touch isn't involved. Play and sleep are her two main modes.
Lea is making so much progress every day.
At this time Lea requires another dog in the home and a fenced in yard for adoption. Lea will do best with no small dogs or toy breeds.
*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.
