Description:

Meet Livia,

Livia is a loving, spunky little girl with tons of energy. She loves to be in the middle of everything and is always up for a little investigating! This little pup started out without any real confidence but spending time in a real home with some TLC and another dog has taught her how to behave more like a dog should and has really built up her confidence. Liv had no training when she was first rescued but now she can sit and lay down (for the right treat haha)!

This girl had no idea what a crate was when we first brought her home but now she jumps right in when you ask her and potty training is going great! Liv will sit in your lap forever if you pet her and there will be no shortage of kisses on her end. She does a cute little dance at meal time but will patiently wait for you to give her the ok to eat.

Since Livia is so high energy, she would probably do best in a home without small children. She isn't reactive in a bad way with them, but would probably knock them over quite a bit and is extremely mouthy. Kids old enough to help train her and not running around with super hyper energy would be best. I think a younger, active family that loves to be outdoors would be perfect for her. She also gets a bit car sick on longer rides but she still loves to go with you where ever you want to take her.

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.
