Story
Meet Midnight! She was picked up as a stray on March 16 in Carlinville. Although her picture was seen by over 9500 people, no one claimed her. To get to know her better, we sent her with a trainer for a couple of days, and here's what she said: "Midnight is a high-energy dog who is anxious to please. She listens well and will sit on command without a treat, although she is very food motivated! This girl has a high prey drive and will play fetch for at least 10 minutes without getting tired. Midnight will be an excellent dog for any type of dog sport: such as fly ball, agility, nose work, etc. She would ALSO be an amazing working dog, such as a herding dog, drug dog or tracking dog. Her enthusiasm, athletic abilities and smaller size makes her a perfect working dog. PLUS, she rides very well in the car, becoming relaxed and at ease. Midnight showed signs of separation anxiety if left alone. BUT, in the company of our other dog, she was totally at ease when left in a garage room and didn't damage one thing. So, another dog in the household is important. It appears that Midnight had not had a lot of experience in living in a home, but she is very smart. With consistent training and an outlet to exercise, Midnight will be a loving companion. Her energy just needs to be funneled." Midnight has been with kids and infants, and shows absolutely no aggression. She has been very outgoing and friendly to all people she meets. If you are looking for a smart, active dog that loves to please and play, Midnight is the perfect choice! ........... We do ADOPTIONS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, on a first-come/first serve basis.
