Description:

Theodora is a very sweet and affectionate girl once she knows you're her person. She is a dog that does well in a quiet home with a predictable routine. She will be stressed out with things like visitors coming and going, going to new, busy places, or attending family gatherings. Dora has been learning basic commands at home. She knows 'sit, down, here, go to bed' . I don't think she's been to any kind of classes and I'm unsure of how that would go. Dora is very agile, she can do handstands and walk on her hind legs. Building her trust and confidence in people is the one thing that her adopters will need to put time and effort into. Dora can be fearful of new people and expresses it vocally by barking at whoever is new to her space. Her family will need to be patient with her and understand that she needs to get to know people slowly on her terms. She lives with a large, male pitbull who is calm and confident, he is good at showing her that people are ok. Her energy level is medium, she can get quite hyped up when she's excited for things but she is a dog that can also just hang out and chill. She is such a little love with the funniest personality she's a great companion to have by your side.

Dora will need a confidant doggy companion in her adoptive home to continue to show her the ropes.

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.
