Description:

Hi! My name is Alexis but my foster family calls me Allie. I am currently living with a foster family that includes three humans, one big dog, and two grumpy cats. I love everyone I live with and all of their friends that come to visit! I've made tons of new friends since I got here. The cats aren't too sure they like me yet, but my foster mom says they will forgive her eventually for bringing home ANOTHER dog--they are very dramatic!

My foster mom says I am a great puppy (and the cutest!) for a lot of reasons. I am doing very well with house training and I am crate trained, although I don't appreciate when my foster mom hits the snooze button and I usually let her know it's time to get up! My foster brother taught me that--he has taught me a lot of things! He's very confident and that's rubbing off on me! I am usually a quiet puppy although every once in a while I'll give you a little "YIP!" to let you know I want to play!

When I first came to my foster home about a week ago I was pretty scared of everything but that didn't last long! Sometimes things still scare me but my crate is my safe place and I usually just spend a little time in there until I realize everything is okay and I'm missing out on precious play time! I haven't quite figured out how to do stairs yet so my foster parents still have to carry me up and down but I love being held! My foster mom says that eventually I'll be too big to carry and that I'll have no excuse not to do stairs on my own. She's probably right, but I am going to enjoy being a puppy while I can!

I love to play with lots of toys--really anything will do!--but I like to keep them all in one place. I'm working on fetch with my foster family but I'd rather put my toys back where they belong (on the dog bed or in my kennel) than bring them back to my humans. The fun part about that is when they grab the toys that I put away and throw them again for me to grab and put away again! I am a puppy and LOVE to chew but I have a short attention span and so if I'm chewing something I shouldn't, my foster parents redirect me with something I SHOULD be chewing on and I'm happy as can be!

I have started working on obedience training and my foster brother, Bear, does it next to me to show me how it's done. He really knows what he's doing! I'm starting to learn "sit" and "lay down" and I'm REALLY good at "come" and playing the "name game" with my foster family.

I would love to meet you and show you what a special puppy I am!

Why not take this opportunity to make a huge difference in the life of a sweet dog who needs some help?

*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.
