Description:

Meet Shem!
Shem is coming to us from a rural rescue that has run out of room. He is looking forward to finding a family that will take him for walks and give him belly rubs! He is a sweet boy that will make a great addition to any family.

FOSTER UPDATE:

Shem is a very friendly and spunky little guy!  He loves to lay around and
cuddle with you.  When you are ready to play he is roaring to go!  He does
great with other dogs and cats!

He currently is living in a foster home with another dog, a cat, and kids
who are 16 months and 10 years old.  He does great with them all!

Shem is 98% house trained.  He just needs to work on being a bit more
noticeable at the door when he needs to go out.  We are working on bell
training with him for this.

When he lays next to you he loves to nuzzle his little nose right into you
to keep warm and cozy.  He is crate trained although he whines for a few
minuets when you first put him in.

He is so grateful to have a soft, safe, warm, and loving place. He follows
his foster mom around where ever she goes.

He does not bark except when he is initially left alone because he misses
you :c)  But being that he is only 7 months old he could grow out of that
of course.

If you want a dog with lots of energy when you want to play but who loves
to cuddle when you just want to relax then SHEM IS FOR YOU!

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.
