Meet Shorty!

Shorty is an fantastic little boy who was surrendered by his human dad when his human mom passed away. Their adult children didn't feel that his dad could take care of him anymore and wanted to do right by Shorty.

On top of losing his family, poor Shorty needed some major dental work. He actually had a seizure that the vet felt was likely caused by his badly infected mouth. He's on medication for this currently, but the vet will be evaluating the need for those in the coming weeks as he begins to heal in a stable environment. The vet had to pull 21 teeth! They said that he even had hair impacted between his teeth! The vet said his teeth and gums were so infected it was the worst case he said he ever seen. Due to the amount of teeth that had to be pulled Shorty will need a soft food diet moving forward.

His foster family has never herd him bark (not even once), but he will whine a bit to let you know that he wants your attention. He is enjoying his fellow weiner dog friends at his foster home. He has no interest in the cat so he could easily live with one. He really enjoys sleeping under the covers with his people and loves to cuddle. He seems to enjoy the teenaged kids in his foster home. We feel he'd likely do just fine with younger children as well. Shorty is also a perfectly potty trained doggie and has had 0 accidents since arriving at his foster home!

Shorty is waiting patiently to find a family to call his very own again.

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.

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.
