Description:

Oh hey folks, I’m Livia.

I was super duper lucky to be rescued by MARS! I had a not-so-great start to my life, but things have been looking up ever since I was rescued. In fact, the way I see it, the only thing that could make life any better is having a forever home of my own.

I can picture it now: A home where I have a playful doggy friend to keep entertained – I am good at that – and a family to call my own. I like kids but I can be overly excited at times so kids that are older and can be leaders to me would be best. My people would love me unconditionally, and understand my pit bull energy level. I would show them how much I love them back by following all their commands (sit, stay, shake, down, drop it, wait) and offering them an unlimited supply of kisses.

My foster family thinks I am pretty funny. I love to jump as high as I can, and we play games where I hop around the yard while they hold a stick in the air. I would LOVE to play agility games with you! I also am a professional lap stealer! What can I say? I just love pretending to be a lap dog – and I am such a petite girl that no one ever minds. At night I get chilly and crawl underneath the blankets to curl up with my people. Once we’re all snuggled up, they wrap their arms around me and call me all kinds of silly names: Livvy, Livers, Liverace, Pretty Pitty, Pittness, Peanut…

What will you call me once I am yours?

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.
