Description:

Meet Venus who is now known as Benita!

Benita is a sweet terrier mix that came to us from an animal control facility down south and is looking for a forever home.

A few notes from her foster mom:

* She is really coming along with potty training. When she gets really excited and won't sit still, that is when she has to go.
* She does great in a kennel and has stayed home in the kennel for 5 hours without an accident.
* At night, we covered the kennel with a sheet to keep her from whining so she is nice and cozy.
* She sleeps all night long.
* We keep her contained in our kitchen until we are confident that she is fully potty trained. Also she will chew toys on the ground so keeping her in the kitchen helps keep the things she can chew on in the right place.
* She does great on a leash and has also walked with stroller and Rollerblades.
* She didn't respond to her name and since my daughter couldn't say it anyway, we changed her name to Benita. If you change it again, she should pick it up really fast.
* We carried around a treat bag and would call her name. When she looked in the right direction, we would say, "Yes!" and give her love and treats.
* We just started sit but she isn't good with that yet.
* We have visited the dog park three times. She is timid at first but warms up after awhile.
* Nail trimming went off without a hitch.

Please feel free to fill out an Adoption Application on our main website, www.midwestanimalrescue.org, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features.

*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.
