Description:
Hi, All! Kennedy & Kyle here -

We call this sweet girl Roo!

To the best of our knowledge, Roo was found as a stray in the south along with another pup from her litter. She was brought into a rescue in Mississippi and spent late November 2023 -early June 2024 with her wonderful & loving foster moms down there. Within those seven months, she made an incredible amount of progress in her confidence, gaining trust, and overall simply learning how to be a dog.

So far on our personal journey with Roo, she is shy to start - sometimes timid - although that hasn’t made her any less easy to snuggle, handle, lead, and love on. She is comfy with being carried, and she is comfortable being touched all over including looking in her mouth, ears, and paws for nail trims...not to mention that she is the most polite dog in public and does well following your lead through stores, events, breweries, etc.

Roo is great on a leash and not reactive! She is great in the car, socializes well she did not mind her cat siblings in her last foster home, and she overall does well in her kennel. We have noticed some possible separation anxiety in the mornings on the days where we are both in office, however with some help from anti-anxiety medication, it has been completely manageable. We don’t anticipate her needing that extra help forever, but we do see it benefitting her during a transition period with her forever family.

She is curious and gentle. She loves to chew on her stuffies. After a few days, she has almost found her sassy woo-woo voice when she asks you to play with her! Other than that and some whining here and there, she hasn’t made a peep. Roo LOVES playing with other dogs. She would thrive in a home with another dog who can help guide her in confidence, but she would also thrive just as well with a confident, patient, and active human. A fenced-in yard would be ideal for her as she loves to run and pounce around as if every day is the best day ever, but if you don’t have a fence, we could see her loving a few days a week at a Sniffspot location!

At this point in time I don’t know that we’d recommend a boarding facility or daycare as the shelter life was very stressful for her in MS.

We hope that you & yours consider Roo! She has so much love to give and deserves so much in return.

As with all dogs, we’ll leave this current bio with a brief reminder of the 3-3-3 rule:
3 days to decompress
3 weeks to adjust to your routine and begin to feel a bit settled / may begin testing boundaries
3 months to fully be themselves and bond

Time, patience, empathy and consistency will be key for Roo to happily live as the best versionof herself!

*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.
