Description:

Lacy ended up at a shelter along with several other shepherds - dropped off by a breeder who was "going out of business." We are estimating Lacy to be between 6-8 years old.

It is obvious that Lacy lived out in a kennel, with a minimum of human interaction. She is shy and timid around people. Although if you sit down and pet her she eats it up. She is getting the hang of going potty outside. She definitely needs to be in a home with another large breed dog (male), as this is what brings her out of her shell. Her foster home has a 3 year old male shepherd, and she adores him. He is teaching her the ropes of how to be a family pet. She can get somewhat crabby with other females dogs if they get too close. She has no interest in cats, except to wonder what the heck they are! Because of her timid nature, a quieter home would be best for her - older children or adults only. A physical (no invisible) fenced yard is a requirement for Lacy.

Update on Lacy: Lacy is doing extremly well, she is a very sweet and happy girl that
now asks for treats-which she would not even eat before. She is housebroken and has
not had an accident for at least a month. She has no problem going to the bathroom
on the leash during our daily walks, she walks great on a leash and loves her walks.
Lacy will need another dog preferably a larger male as that is what really brings
her out of her shell. She loves to play and wrestle with Max and has no problem
holding her own with him being much larger than her. She  has no food aggression and
will eat and drink out of the same bowl with either of my dogs. She has learned to
sit for treats and we are working on lay down and stay. She still does have small
what I call panic attacks, a loud noise or unexpected fast movement she will run to
her crate, but  she comes out on her own within seconds. She comes to you for pets
and scratches and even brought me her tug rope a couple of times. She has only been
crated for the longest of 4 hours and did fine. She is always watching you and your
interaction with the other dogs and learning it's fun to play with us.

Will you be her new forever home?

*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.
