She loves everyone and attaches to all of my guests so fast. Shirley is a smart, calm, mellow, sweetheart, and takes cues from my dog, who is well trained & really chill. They are often curled up together on the couch taking a nap. Or sharing my lap. She would love to lay in bed with you. Shirley wants whatever toy my dog has they play amazing and share toys back and forth. She does get into playful moods, and chewy moods, and she is teething. As she is a 7 month old puppy - she is still learning what's appropriate to chew on and what's not. So she can be a bit mischievous. A well puppy proofed room/house & both harder rubber toys, and soft toys she's allowed to destroy, are a great idea :) I also rotate ever other day between putting a little cup of ice cubes in the water bowl, (she likes bobbing them out & chewing them up, get out her urge) and giving her a bullystick/puppy teething ring. And we haven't had many issues. She is doing really well with house training, she follows my dog in and out into the backyard. Sometimes I have to block the back door, or step outside, if my dog went potty really fast and I am still waiting for Shirley to go. She pees every time I take her out. I think she is learning to use potty pads from my dog bc the few accidents she has had while I was at work have been on the pads, or half on. Definitely put down a few, still getting the aim down.

*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.
