Description:

Hi, My name is Boscoe.

I've had a rough life lately. You see, I only weighed about 45 pounds. That wouldn't be a problem if I were a smaller boy, but I should weigh around 60 pounds! My owners didn't take very good care of me, so I didn't have enough to eat, then somehow I ended up at the pound. I came in wearing a collar made out of a man's belt with duct tape to hold it together. I'd lost so much weight that it slipped right off over my head!

I'm in a foster home now, and am packing the weight on now. I'm over 50 pounds now and on my way to a normal weight.

I'm a really smart boy. I know how to sit, speak and shake. But, being a smart "bully breed" dog, means I need a smart owner. Someone who has experience with bully breeds. As I'm getting more food and getting stronger, I'm becoming more assertive! So, I need some extra TLC, but need some additional training too.

I'm a really nice boy. I don't hold it against anyone that I had been treated poorly in the past. I just want love and attention, good food and a soft, warm spot to sleep at night. I'm really a nice boy. Can I come live with you?

Hope to meet you soon!
Love, Boscoe

UPDATE FROM BOSCOE'S FOSTER:
Boscoe has been great with kids, cats, and other dogs. He is very sweet with everyone. We're currently teaching him how to play, since he didn't know how!

Please feel free to fill out an Adoption Application on our main website, www.midwestanimalrescue.org, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features.

Thank You!

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.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. 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.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

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 without knowing a pet’s full history.
