UPDATE FROM KELSA'S ADOPTIVE HOME, JULY 19TH, 2011: The Kelsa, the new love of my life. She is a sweet, loving and loyal
doggie. She follows me everywhere. I think she would follow me into a fire.
My a/c was dead all of monday, and the only way I could get her to the
"coolest" part of the house was if I stayed there; she definitely chooses
being close to me over comfort. That is why GSD's do well in wars and with
police. Seems to like all people if they are ok with me. Still wouldnt
trust her around really little kids; she seems to be a little scared of
them. The bad news: she will never be a dog park dog. She was having
trouble with her foster sibs when I got her. My daughter has gotten her to
make friends with a friend's dogs, but my daughter is more of a risk taker
than I am. So I walk her, which she loves, with a prong collar, and we keep
our distance from other dog walkers. One neighbor has an irish setter, I
think, and she goes berserk when he comes out. He is a sweet dog, ignores
her, so I dont know what the deal is. Some dogs don't freak her out that
much. The obedience class helped, and by that I mean helped me gain
confidence--don't know if it helped her, it was very stressful being in a
small space with so many dogs and a puppy class going on!
Anyhow, she knows she found love; she can sleep with her eyes closed now
because she trusts me to back her up. Oh, and she loves the squirrels!
*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.
