Description:
Gus is doing very well! He is becoming quite the adventurous pup! He loves playing with his foster sisters, who are about 50 pounds bigger than him, but he doesn't seem to notice! They are both doing a good job teaching him different things. He doesn't mind at all if we pet him or get our hands near him while he is eating. He is working on learning which things are his to chew on and which are not, we try to replace whatever he's chewing on (usually my slippers!) with one of his chew toys. He's still working on his potty training. Our other dogs are bell trained so we are starting that process. He knows sit pretty well and is working on come. At night, he sleeps in his big kennel and usually doesn't make a sound after you put him in there (though he's usually pretty tuckered out from all the play time!). He stays in this same kennel for parts of the day when we're at work, with blankets on one side and pee pads and his water on the other. He sometimes cries when going in during the day but overall is pretty well kennel trained. He is on a leash when we take him outside to go potty, but otherwise is too young to go on walks so not really leash trained yet. He is very sweet and overall he seems like a very smart and curious little guy! * Puppies under 5 months should not be left alone for more than 4 hours at a time to help them with potty training and socialization.
If you have previously applied with us please email adoptionatmars@gmail.com to reactivate your application with new interest. 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.
