Description:
Meet Gus,

Gus is a people loving sweetheart of a dog! He has his story to tell though. He has a lot of scars on his muzzle, currently has an infection in his eye and was just diagnosed with Heartworm. (He is being treated.)

None of that matters to Gus.

He is an amazingly happy, friendly boy considering everything he has been through.

Gus appears to be a "heinz 57 mix". He is the color of a golden retriever, but with some brindling. Some of the hair on his back is the texture of a husky.

Gus needs a foster home without small kids or dogs, that can keep him quiet for a few weeks while he recovers from his heartworm treatments. He also needs time to focus on himself, and not be worried about what other dogs may do to him.

Gus is a lover, not a fighter. It's not his fault that other dogs attacked him. He is very gentle. He just wants to be with people and to cuddle right in to the crook of your arm. He wants someone to save him. Will it be you?

*IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO HELP GUS BY FOSTERING OR ADOPTING, PLEASE CONSIDER A DONATION TO HELP PAY FOR HIS VET CARE.







URGENT: Gus needs a temporary foster home, while we work to find a forever home. We provide the food and cover all authorized medical expenses.

You simply provide a safe, loving home!

Why not take this opportunity to make a huge difference in the life of a sweet boy who needs some help?

Contact us to find out how easy it is to get involved in foster care.

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.
