Description:

Hi, my name is Leena,

I was found running around loose by the impound facilty. I'm pretty sure I ran away from my family because they were hurting me. Someone helped me to get inside, so I could have food and shelter. My owners never came to retrieve me. I'm settled in to a foster home now, and am searching for my forever home.

Love,
Leena

UPDATE FROM LEENA'S FOSTER: Leena has been with us for nearly 4 months now and she is a wonderful girl. Leena had a rough start in life (being confined to a kennel as a puppy and most certainly abused) but she's got a big, forgiving heart and has made great progress. Leena is still nervous around new people and situations, but she's getting much better and once she warms up to you, watch out! She'll want your attention all day! She also likes to give lots of kisses and will climb right in your lap, unaware of her size.

Leena is crate trained and completely house broken. She enjoys snuggling on the sofa with people or the other dogs; she'll follow us around to keep an eye on where we are. She also loves chewing on Nylabones. Because this may be the first time she's had the freedom to run around in a yard, and it's a treat to watch her bounce around, happy and free.

We'd love for her to find her forever people soon, hopefully in time to enjoy the warm summer days together. Please give this sweetheart a chance; you won't be disappointed!

Thank You!

*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.
