Story
Ellie it’s a very sweet and affectionate girl. She is shy with new people, but once she knows you and trusts you, she is very attentive and loving. She gets along with cats and other dogs. She doesn’t love to be left alone and can be vocal about it, but otherwise she rarely barks unless there is an issue. She would prefer a home with older children, as young ones scare her. Ellie rides well in a car and likes to play. She is very snuggly and loves attention. She gets excited when you return and does zoomies occasionally, but she is not an overly energetic dog. We were told when she was surrendered that she was house trained, but in her foster home, this has proved to be a bit of a challenge for her. Sometimes she will go outside and other times she will not. She needs some work in this avenue, but otherwise she is nearly a perfect little dog!If you are interested in adopting this pet, please go to www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to complete an application. Completing a questionnaire on any other website does not submit an application to our rescue, you must complete one on our website. If you have any questions, please email us at adopt@MidwestPetRefuge.com

Story
Lucy is an 8 year old Shih Tzu. She is a lovely, family-friendly dog with a sweet disposition. Lucy has had recurrent urinary tract infections for 5-6 years now. All imaging (X-rays, ultrasounds) has shown no abnormality. Being on a specialty diet was initially helping, but being around small children whose food she has access to hasn’t been helpful in keeping her strictly on her dog food. We just do not have the time/energy to invest to make sure she is only eating her food, taking daily walks, and receiving the attention she deserves. She is house trained but does have accidents inside when her infections resurface. We will get her shots updated (she is just missing most recent vaccines).

Story
Weight: 13Lbs Meet Boom! 💥 This little fluffball came in looking like a walking tumbleweed — his fur was so matted he couldn’t see, eat, or even tell which way was up. But underneath that "mystery mop" was the sweetest Shih Tzu mix you’ll ever meet! Now that he’s had his glow-up, Boom’s true personality shines: he’s gentle, goofy, and loves attention almost as much as he loves snacks. 🍪 He’s basically a living teddy bear who just asks for one thing in return — regular grooming (because we’re not going back to the “hair helmet” days, thank you very much). If you’re ready for endless cuddles, happy tail wags, and a best friend who literally can’t stop smiling now that he can see again — Boom’s your guy! 💖 Dogs: Unknown, bring all pups in to meet me!! Cats: Unknown Kids: Unknown, bring the whole family to meet me!!

Story
Margo is a lovable bundle of energy who’s equal parts playful and cuddly. She adores playtime—whether it’s chasing toys, romping around the yard, or goofing off with her favorite people. When she’s done playing, she’s the first to curl up for a cozy nap and soak up all the pets she can get. Margo thrives on attention and loves being part of the action. She’ll happily follow you around the house, wagging her tail and waiting for a snuggle break. Her cheerful personality and affectionate nature make her a joy to be around. If you’re looking for a fun, loving companion who will keep you smiling and snuggle up at the end of the day, Margo is your girl! 💕 Margo has lived with her brother Murphy her whole life, so we will be rehoming them together.
