FOSTER UPDATE

Meet Snowman, or as we like to call him, Trooper. Trooper is doing a
fantastic job learning to be a dog. He gets along great with his foster
sister (a large lab mix) and the kids. Potty training was a snap! He
still loves his crate and will spend time in it when he needs a break from
the other dog or kids. He sleeps all night long in his crate and can spend
up to 8 hours in it without any problems.

He walks beautifully on a leash, mostly staying right by your side. We
wore him out a few times by going for too long of a walk. He prefers the
shorter walks around the neighborhood. Trooper loves to explore all things
outdoors, so walks can be a bit slow since everything needs a good
sniffing! He would love to have a fenced yard, but has done just fine on
the leash in our back yard.

He is still getting used to "human" things like trucks, motorcycles,
campers, and boats. (Or any vehicle that is large and noisy.)

He loves to snuggle on his foster moms lap and will spend as much time
there as she will allow. He's a pretty mellow little guy - we've yet to
hear him bark!

Please give this great little guy a chance for a loving home - he deserves
it!

Snowman is coming from a rural puppy mill. He has 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 is being rescued from that terrible life.

Because Snowman is coming from a rural breeder, it is likely that he will not be potty trained when he arrives. He will also need 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.

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.
