Description:

Meet Gryffin!

Gryffin is coming into rescue from an animal control facility. This beautiful boy was found meandering the streets and can you believe it? No one came forward to claim him! What a hunk!

We are asking that he is not placed with older children only.

Update from foster:
While we are not sure what Gryffin is truly a mix of... the Pekingese personality definitely shines through! He is a guy that knows what he wants and will do his best to communicate that to you! He will bark when he wants to come in the house and if you are a little slow in handing over a treat! He sits up on his haunches and waves his paws to let you know
he'd like you to share... it's adorable and at times it earns him a second little treat! Other than that, this handsome boy is a quiet little fellow who has made himself right at home. He gets along great with the other dogs at the foster home, but is really an independent little fellow. He does not engage in play with other dogs, but prefers to go off inspecting every inch of the yard and loves finding balls and toys to play with. He loves attention and to be pet, but prefers not to be picked up. A home with young children or dogs that want to play with him would not be Gryffin's preference. His favorite thing in life right now is to go for a walk. If he even sees a leash he runs to you and then to the door. He walks beautifully on a leash and would love a home that would take him on daily walks. Gryffin can sometimes become a little possessive over his bones and that will have to be worked with but he is truly one of the sweetest little guys and cute as well.

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.
