Description:

Hi! My name is Papaya and I am a 4 month old Lab mix. Here are a few things to know about me.

I am a sweet and affectionate girl who loves people and other dogs. I haven't met any other animals yet.

I am doing pretty good in my crate. I whine for the first few minutes just to let you know what you're missing, but then I settle in for my nap.

I am learning to go potty outside and love all of the positive attention when I succeed. My foster mom says I’ll get this down in no time.

I love to take walks around the neighborhood because it’s a chance to meet someone new! I’m pretty good on the leash and don’t try to pull. However, if I get excited I run around in circles and have wrapped up my foster brother's legs more than once. Oops!

I have mad fetch skills, but I’m still working on bringing the ball all the way back. Don’t worry I’ll master this in no time!

I just know I would make a perfect addition to anyone who needs a little more love and laughter in their family.

Things I love:

Attention, running around the yard, playing catch, TOYS!, cuddling on the couch (or anywhere really), belly rubs, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Things I’m not so sure about:

That lawn mower is really loud.

* Puppies under 5 months should not be left alone for more than 4 hours at a time to help them with potty training and socialization.

If you have previously applied with us please email adoptionatmars@gmail.com to reactivate your application with new interest.

*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.
