Description:
Hi, my name is Abby!
I'm a sweet young girl who is at the pound right now. I came from a place where some man was mean to me, and didn't take care of me very well. Because of this, I'm cautious when I first meet people, particularly men. But, if you have some yummy treats for me, I'll be happy and hang around to get petted. I don't have an aggressive bone in my body, I just want to know that you have good intentions before I get too close.

So, I was wishing there was a breed option for "heinz 57" because we really have no idea what breed mix I am. I'm a little girl at around 30-35 lbs, but don't have the features of any distinct breed. My foster mom has been helping me get treated for Mange. My hair is growing back in now, and I'm a lot less itchy. Thank goodness!

Can you help me? I'd love you forever!
Love,
Abby

AN UPDATE FROM HER FOSTER HOME:

Abby loves to sit by the window and watch the squirrels, or be outside and chase a soocer ball or tennis ball. She will walk on a leash, she does pull at times, but is learning. She had a couple of accidents the first couple days, but now that she is used to her envronment she has not had any accidents in the house and goes to the door when she wants to go outside. She goes in her crate well for the workday. She is very sweet and loving and loves to snuggle near you, but will also be on her own. She is very cautious around men, she will approach men with time but does not want to go out with them yet. She is initially shy with women but warms up pretty fast. She has been around boys ages 5,7 & 10 and loves to play with them! She hasn't had much opportunity to be around other dogs but the couple she has met she appears to like. She knows Sit and we're working on stay, come, and down. She is initially shy but as she learns her surroundings becomes quite playful and wants to please you. She really is a sweet dog.

*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.
