Description:

My name is Goofy and I am a snuggly, playful, good-natured boy.

I’m eager to please and a fast learner, not to mention very food-motivated.I have done well in the playpen where I spend my time during the day.

I play very well with other dogs, get along well with children (age 4 and up so far) and aside from some food-guarding (which I’m confident I will outgrow in time), I would a aprreciate a moment to meet and sniff you so we can be best friends.

I am crate-trained, although for the time being I share a small space with my foster brother instead of a crate when left home alone and when sleeping.

We play a lot - I love tug, wrestling and chasing. I have not been exposed to cats yet so I don’t know if I’d like them but I would love to be in a house with another dog!

I walk very well on a leash, and I will bark at people and dogs I see on our walks because everything is new and I need to let them know I am there.

I am ready to learn and pick up on things quickly so if you don’t want me barking I will be very eager to do it your way.

Speaking of barking, I’ll bark excitedly when I see you preparing my food, when you walk in the door after being gone a long time, or for a bit when I’m left totally alone.

Occasionally I’ll bark during play or if a delivery person comes to our door and I don’t think anyone has noticed. I don’t bark all day or for no reason. I’m sure a lot of my barking is due to some lingering anxiety from lots of change and I think that will settle with consistency once I know I have found a place and people to call home. Overall, I’m such a sweet, special boy and I know I will bring so much joy and love to my new family!

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.

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.
