Meet Slinky

House trained!

Loves dogs and cats

Affectionate Lap Dog

My name is Slinky. I was found as a stray in Georgia, and ended up rescued and in Minnesota. I woof with a Southern accent (just kidding). I am just a puppy, but already very reliably potty trained. I come when I am called. I love my dog buddy, and I like to play with the 2 cats. If I get rambunctious/barky with them, my mom sends me to my kennel for about one minute, then she lets me out and I shape right up, so I am a fast learner. I also know how to sit and am learning other basic commands.

I love people, am outgoing, and I like my toys. I am not a problem chewer or digger. I sleep in my kennel at night, and stay alone in the house out of my kennel for a couple of hours with no behaviour problems. I "alarm" bark when someone comes to the house. I am a lap sitter, and a lover. I have been known to slurp humans in the face.

I do not beg for table food. I love riding in the car, and sometimes I go to various friends' homes to visit where I can practice social skills and adaptiveness.

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.
