Description:

MEET MALLIK!

Mallik came to us from a rural puppy mill. He had never lived a day of his life as a normal pet in a home, with the love and attention a pet deserves. He likely spent 24 hours a day in a crate, where he had to eat, sleep and potty. It is possible he had never even been petted in his life. He was being rescued from that terrible life and is now looking for his FOREVER home.

Because Mallik is coming from a rural breeder, he will still need some help adjusting to life in a home environment. Fenced yards and a home with other stable dogs to show them the ropes are best for dogs coming from this type of situation.

Find out how rewarding it can be to teach this poor girl how to love and be loved.

AN UPDATE FROM MALLIK'S FOSTER HOME!

Mallik has a fabulous temperament! He is so mellow and relaxed. My daughter came by with her two friends and he was so excited and went right to them. We were just talking today how he would be a fabulous addition to a house with an older individual/couple or a home with kids (but not too young). He definitely needs a home with a yard...he loves to run and roll on the grass. In the short time he has been here, he has not growled or voiced any emotion other than happiness and/or being content. He enjoys watching the television when it is on and having activity going on around him. He went on a short walk yesterday and did fabulous on the leash. He is very curious about my dog, yet prefers human contact at this point, which is completely understandable given where he came from.

*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.
