Diesel

We are monitoring our ability to show dogs based on Science Based CoVID guidance but are reviewing applications for the best fit for each dog.<br/><br/>Diesel is a one of a kind dog. He came to MAPS after he was pulled within hours of being euthanized at the shelter he came from. Diesel also had a bad case of “happy tail”, which is a cut at the end of the tail from whacking it hard on surfaces. It many weeks to get DIesel’s happy tail to fully heal, and he was a good sport with the bandaging and treatment. <br/><br/>Diesel is a great listener and knows sit and wait. He can hardly contain himself while he waits for a treat though and will bounce up and down while whining as if to say “I need that treat now.” Diesel is a dog who has really come into his own since joining his foster home. He is one of the best walkers in the rescue. He will check in with his people, and does not pull hard; even when there are distractions. Diesel also enjoys playing fetch, and loves to show how athletic he is. He is able to catch balls on the move and is very coordinated. <br/><br/>Diesel is a guy who will help provide purpose to your life. He will help you realize the importance of living in the moment, and looking beyond yourself. He was given a second chance at life, and he can help you realize all the things we can be thankful for.

The adoption process starts with a prescreen review of a Guardian Application. Making decisions about dog placement in adoptive homes is an "art", not a "science", and there will be times when applications will be denied for various reason(s). This is left to the discretion of the MAPS after reviewing relevant information. MAPS reserves the right to make all decisions regarding placement or final disposition of any rescued dog in its care into a foster or adoptive home. There is absolutely no guarantee, made or implied, that any person or persons requesting to adopt a dog being fostered through MAPS, or posted on MAP's web site, will be granted an adoption. After a successful prescreen, including background checks, the applicant(s) are notified that they can visit the dogs and a time slot is made for the dog and applicant interaction. After the interaction we encourage several days of reflection before adopting a pet to help assure this will be a lifetime commitment of love and quality care for the dog. Next we conduct a home/neighborhood visit to the Guardian Applicant's home. If the home visit proves successful the new mom and/or dad of the dog will sign an Adoption Agreement and share a lifetime of love and mindful growth !<br/><br/>Guardianship Application available for download at<br/><br/>http://tinyurl.com/MAPSFiles<br/><br/>MAPS Dog Rescue Mission<br/><br/>Midwest Area Pit Stop, Inc. (MAPS) is a foster home based rescue located in Madison, Wisconsin established in 2005 after being part of the Chicago Illinois based rescue Furry Friends for several years. MAPS focuses on providing a structured, safe calm environment for the dogs in their care that helps them flourish. This structured home environment is complimented by exercise, Positive Reinforcement Deference Training, very high quality dog food in addition to a broad spectrum of proven food supplements including vitamins and supplements. In addition to fostering, MAPS provides sponsorship funds to help with the veterinary expenses and/or Breed DNA testing to save dogs in need of a rescue at the end of their options. MAPS has been active in the community promoting dog safety, how to build a healthy relationship with your dog, and fighting breed discrimination including breed testing of hundreds of dogs since December 2007. MAPS believes that dogs are a central component for people to have a more meaningful and purposeful life. That is, if people are willing to embrace mindfulness in daily living. Dogs help us connect to reality and make life worth living through example and deep bonds. MAPS is not about how many dogs are adopted in the shortest amount of time but rather measures to help insure the dogs that are adopted do not come back for the wrong reasons.
