11-month-old Duke is a sweet and playful, Belgian Malinois mix, who is looking for a new owner. He adores everyone he meets, including other dogs and children. He would LOVE to have another large dog to play with and keep him company. And no problems with house-breaking – he’s got that down! Duke has lots of energy, and an owner or family with an active lifestyle would be a perfect fit. With appropriate exercise, he’ll fit in just about anywhere. If you’re looking for a canine partner to join you while jogging, biking, or hiking, Duke’s your boy! Afterward, he’ll happily lie at your feet, give lots of kisses, and soak up all the love - and belly rubs - you can provide.

This big sweetheart has been through an awful lot in the past year. He required surgery to fix a broken hip, which happened when someone threw him from a moving car. He recovered fully and was adopted by a loving family. Although Duke fit in well, they were forced to return him because of a family emergency. Despite all these challenges, Duke’s spirit and love of life and people never dampened. He’s as happy and playful as ever.

Are you looking for a smart, affectionate, and loyal companion? Can you provide a stable, loving, and active home? Then please consider adding Duke to your life. He’s an amazing boy, who will brighten your days and warm your nights for many years to come.

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.
