Meet Tuffy

Tuffy is looking for a new home. He spent the first 5 1/2 years as an only dog with a owner who loves him dearly. His owner can no longer keep Tuffy and asked if MARS could help find a really wonderful place for him.

Tuffy is a sweet dog that loves to be near to his caregiver. He enjoys being outside with his people and he rides well in the car. Even though Tuffy has a slightly underdeveloped back right leg, it doesn't stop him from being active. The leg requires no special care or treatment. Tuffy loves walking, does well on a leash, and enjoys the dog park (except when the big dogs won't leave him alone).

He gets along with dogs that are his size and with cats. He is being fostered with a dog and cat and they all get along very well. In fact, Tuffy would
probably like a home with another pet to keep him company. Tuffy hasn't been around many children, but might be ok with older kids who know how
to be gentle with a very small dog!

Tuffy is house trained when he is kept on a regular schedule. He does not care to be in a kennel and will do a fair share of barking if crated. The only other time he barks is when other dogs start barking first!

He loves attention and likes to be close to his people at all times.
So Tuffy would really prefer a home where folks will have plenty of time for him!

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.

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.
