Description:
Fiona has had some big changes in her life recently and is looking for some stability and comfort. She was adopted as a pup in the midst of 2020, moved across the country with her human family and then her human mom passed away. She is now back with MARS and in a loving foster home. Fiona tends to be fairly shy and skittish when meeting new people, it takes her some time to build up her trust in you. Once she does and she feels safe she’ll come out of her shell. Right now she usually prefers to observe her foster mom from a distance, but she's very curious and always wants to see what she’s up to. She has playful spurts and, as you can see from the photos, has selected her favorite toy. :) Fi is looking for a home that is more on the calm side without small kids or bigger, high-energy, dogs who will get too much in her face (she really dislikes being approached too fast/unexpectedly), but she does well with calmer dogs and seems like she'd do well with older kids and cats. She'd be happy as an only pet too! She does excellent in a kennel, sleeps through the night in one, and sees it as a safe space. House training is coming along, and I think she'll naturally improve as she feels more comfortable with the human at the other end of the leash.
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.
