Description:
FOSTER HOME UPDATE:

Scruffy is a very loving dog. He is craving attention and wants nothing more than to sit on your lap. He doesn't care if you are petting him (although it would be a bonus) he just wants to be near you. He is doing awesome at potty training. Not one accident yet. He can also hold it in his kennel all night. He does really well on a leash, pretty much just wants to follow you anyway. Scruffy doesn't mind getting brushed or taking his medicine. Scruffy would do well with other dogs, cats or kids.

He gets along good with the resident dogs and hasn't noticed the cat yet. He does well in the car too.

Meet Scruffy,

Scruffy came from a rural puppy mill. He had never lived a day of his life as a normal pet in a home, with the love and attention a pet deserves. He likely spent 24 hours a day in a crate, where he had to eat, sleep and potty. It is possible he has never even been petted in his life. He was just rescued from that terrible life and is now in a special foster home to help him learn what it is like to be a dog.

Because Scruffy came from a rural breeder, he needs help with socialization and adjusting to life in a home environment. Fenced yards and a home with other stable dogs to show them the ropes are best for dogs coming from this type of situation.

Find out how rewarding it can be to teach this sweet boy how to love and be loved.

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.
