Bowie is a very special boy that ended up at a shelter. He is now looking for a foster home to keep him safe while we find his forever home.

This boy LOVES people and other dogs. He is a very big and very playful pup who would make a perfect addition to any home!

Bowie is very good with other dogs. Check out sweet Bowie and you will not be sorry! He will do great with training.

Here is an update from his foster:

Bowie walks well on a leash but can't stand the gentle leader. He doesn't
pull much and loves to get out and explore. He is comfortable around kids
and other dogs. He's very skinny right now, so after he gains some weight,
he will be a good sized dog, but still likes to sleep at the foot of your
bed or sit right next to you on the couch.

Bowie is a smart dog! He is learning his name, sit and wait. He catches on
quickly since he is very treat-motivated. Bowie loves to tussle and play
with our resident dog. I am realizing that he would best be placed with a
family that already has a dog. At night, if he is not in the same room as
our dog, he will be OK for a few hours but then go to the door and whimper
and whine. All he wants is to be next to his friend. He loves people, and
prefers to have someone near him, but his heart is full when he is with his
dog friend!

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.
