Description:
I am a fun loving and playful boy! I can play for hours with other small dogs and then will play with toys and make a mess of my foster parent’s living room! I am housetrained and will use the potty pad if needed. I travel well in a car. I do love to bark and will warn my foster parents when someone is at the door or coming into the house. I do correct easily though and will listen to my foster parents. I know basic commands like sit, wait and stay. I love treats and they are a great motivator for me to continue my learning process. I love to sleep in bed with my step-parents and if allowed I will snuggle right up against you and in your arms. I am currently in a house with other small dogs and would prefer to be with dogs similar to me that love to play. I am very active, but will settle down after play and walks. I am shy and a little scared of big dogs. I do not like being contained in a pen or a kennel. If you prefer a kennel trained dog, I am not right for you. I LOVE to go on walks and need to have a home where I will be taken on walks, weather permitted. I could use a little leash training because I love to move all over and investigate everything. If you have other dogs to walk, our leashes will get all tangled up! This drives foster mom crazy, but she still walks all of us! I also am fine with older kids, but would rather live with them full time. After I know I am in my forever home, I will love you so much that I might become protective when my person is around other people and if strangers come to the house. I need direction and correction and I will be fine.
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.
