Description:
Wilma is a fabulous dog! She eats her meals in her kennel and then wants out as soon as possible to be close to the family. She enjoys sleeping on the bed with the other dogs. She is great with our chihuahuas, even when a couple of them bark at her because they are afraid of such a large dog. Wilma is very patient with these chihuahuas. She likes to play with the littlest chihuahua who has no fear. It would be ideal for Wilma to have another dog in the house with whom she could romp. She is curious about our cats, but does not bother them. She backs away when the cats hiss at her. Her favorite person is my 9-year old daughter. Wilma follows her around as much as possible and they enjoy playing chase in the backyard. She would do well with an active and playful family. She likes playing fetch and showing off "sit" and "down" commands. She also loves being rewarded with Duck Jerky. She has a good recall even though she is just learning her new name "Wilma." She likes to go on walks but definitely could use some loose-leash walking classes. It is not easy to walk her because she pulls and is very strong, even for an adult. She loves it when my daughter runs with her while on the leash. Wilma is so chill that I have only heard her bark once, and it was because she was excited when she noticed the chickens in the run. Wilma should probably have a 6 foot fence because she is a great jumper, although she has never tried to jump over our 4 ft. fence. She would really enjoy a big backyard. I can tell that Wilma has been well-taken care of and seems to have no trauma or reactivity. *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.
