Sweet Zookie has had some trauma somewhere in his past, we have never met a minpin that did not want to snuggle undercovers. Zookie loves to run in the yard and play with his toys (don't take them). He does not know personal space and will jump on your lap and stand on you to to get attention and love. He will bounce on your leg when he first sees you. He loves to play with hands and wrist just have to remind him to go gentle when he gets going. When Zookie gets going those zoomies and something to watch out for. Zookie would do best in an adult home so when he does feel threatened and gives off his growls people know to leave him alone. He is getting better in his foster home day by day but knowing when he has had enough is important. Zookie is VERY food motivated and will sit for treats. He is not found of strangers touching him so patience's is a must. He does want to play with other dogs. No idea about cats. He is doing well at housetraining, he did just get neutered. Zookie is a tall minpin about 13 lbs. but skinny do to neglect. He should be about 15lbs or so.
To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $200 donation is requested at the time of adoption. All of our adoptions are contingent upon an approved application, home visit, reference check, obedience training agreement, and signing of adoption contract. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. Our dogs are companion animals that live indoors as part of your family. Please do not apply if your plan is to have them as outside dogs, garage dogs, porch dogs or outside kennel dogs. We do not ship dogs.
All of our dogs are in private foster homes. We are not a shelter with hours. A visit can be arranged after an adoption questionnaire has been filled out and sent in. Please try to email first. We are all volunteers that work so we can not easily take or make phone calls.

Additional adoption info
The first step in our adoption process is filling out and an adoption questionnaire that helps up match the right dog with the right person. Then our group reviews the questionnaires, then one of our members contacts the person that seems to fit to talk more and meet the dog and family. We do have adoption fees that help cover the cost of spay and neutered and vaccinations. Our fees also go into a general fund that help us take care of some dogs come to us with health extra health needs.

We are not a shelter but a small group foster homes. We rescue dogs from high kill shelters and puppymills. We also take owner surrenders. All of our dogs are spayed and neutered and have current vaccinations before being adopted.
We are a "network" of volunteer rescuers in the Midwest. Many of us have known one another for years from helping with various local rescue groups, shelters, and national breed rescue groups. All of us have had the experience of coming across a dog that needed help that didn’t have a rescue group that could take them into their program. We were finding that regardless of breed or whether a dog is "purebred", there are many of us out there who wanted to help these dogs and need a place to list them. Therefore, we decided to start Midwest Dog Rescue Network to help rescuers help dogs that would otherwise "fall through the cracks". We are a collection of rescuers and some good-hearted individuals, who are just trying to help as many good dogs find homes as possible.
