Description:
Ofra is a beautiful liver chestnut color female Retriever. She is about 2 years old and weighs about 35 pounds. She is medium in height. She is very friendly and seeks attention from people. Ofra has a happy, even temperament. She is just the right size for a variety of living situations.

Ofra is a super-sweet dog. She is smaller than most labs, only about 35 - 40 pounds. She already knows how to sit and shake and she rarely barks. Her favorite activity is to keep your feet warm. Where ever you are sitting, she will most likely be draped across your feet. She would love to sleep on your bed with you, but if you don't allow that she will simply crawl under (yes, under) your bed and sleep there instead.

Ofra has done well with all the kids she has met, which range from 2 to 14 years old. She is a fairly mellow dog so she may even do well in an apartment. She also plays well with the resident dog. I can't say how she is with cats because she has not met any yet. She doesn't seem to be a digger or a chewer, so if you have a nice flower bed and like your shoes, they should be perfectly safe with Sophie.

She is not a big fan of her kennel, but does great if left confined to the kitchen while we are gone. She has gone into the kitchen garbage can once or twice when there was some leftover meat in there, but she was at least polite enough to only take out the meat and not dump the entire garbage can. :) I simply started putting the garbage on the other side of the gate when we leave and it has not been a problem since.

Ofra is a very low-maintenance kind of girl. All she needs is a little love and attention and she is the happiest dog in the world. She is a great dog who just loves to cuddle with her humans.

Why not take this opportunity to make a huge difference in the life of a sweet girl who needs some help?

*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.
