Meet Downy

Downy is a breeder release dog.

This means that the four years of his life have been spent in a cage and he has been used for breeding purposes only. He has not been living in a home environment therefore he is not used to people and they still make him nervous. He is also working on housetraining.

Dogs like Downy benefit greatly from being in a home with another dog. They learn tons from watching the other dog -especially regarding interactions with humans.

Working with breeder release dogs can be challenging and quite a bit of work initially, but the rewards are great as you see them blossom into a pet and companion.

Downy is curious and his tail wags when people try to interact, but if you get to close he will run the other way. He just needs to learn how to trust and and to find a home that will offer him lots of support, love, and care.

Due to him learning how to trust and being timid at this point, Downy should be in a home without small children. He is unfamiliar with a leash so will need someone to work with him on walking with a leash. Downy should also have a fenced yard.

Do you have room in your home and heart to give Downy the love and support he deserves?

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.
