Description:

Hello! My name is Winky & I was named after a House Elf from Harry Potter!

I just started my new life here in Minnesota & my foster family keeps telling me how wonderful I am.

I made my very own Facebook page, please follow along with my adventures here:

Update from the foster:

Winky has the silliest personality that is just as unique as her big floppy ears!!! She is VERY sweet, and gets along with everyone she meets - cats, kids, and especially other dogs (big & small!)! She is currently in a foster home with a puppy, a large adult dog, a chihuhua, and 2 cats.. and she loves everyone!

She is a little on the shy side, at first, so she would definitely benefit from having another dog in the home that can show her the ropes & a lot of TLC and patience.

Once she warms up to her people, she is an extremely lovable and sweet girl!

Winky does well in my fenced yard, but she absolutely cannot be trusted with invisible fencing or off-leash - as she could be easily spooked and run away.

I would like her to go to a home that can provide:
*Patience and a gentle training style.
*A mostly quiet environment.
*Another dog to help guide Winky.
*A fenced in yard for her safety (timid dogs are a great flight risk).

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.
