Description:

Meet Atka which means "Guardian Spirit".

She is almost 4 years old and being returned as small children in her adoptive home make her too nervous for them to keep her. She gets along well with cats, she is a bit picky about what dogs she likes, but loves just about anyone who wants to tell her how pretty she is!

This gorgeous gal is housetrained, kennel trained and has excellent manners when left loose while her foster is away. We are looking for a home with older children or active adults. Teenagers would be great as she needs lots of exercise being her breed mixture so roller blading, biking, and running is just what she needs.

She continues to impress rescue staff with her focus & intellegence. She is a pro at sit, stay, down, & even with the "leave it" command when you toss her favorite treat in her direciton.

Atka has an eagerness to please, great focus, and energy to match it so anyone looking to start flyball or agility, this is your girl!

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.
