Description:

FOSTER BIO UPDATE:

Griffin is an eligible young dog who loves chasing squirrels and walks
in the park. His favorite thing in the world is “his” people and he is
the ultimate cuddler. Griffin is house trained, knows basic obedience,
and is easily directed verbally; all he wants to do is please! He’s
also kennel trained, goes in without a problem and doesn’t make a
peep. He’s very playful so if he goes to a home with another dog, it
should be one that can match him in enthusiasm. Currently one of his
favorite hobbies is pouncing on his senior foster sister, who doesn’t
seem to care for the technique and has repeatedly declined his hopeful
invitations. Griffin would do best with a fenced yard or an otherwise
active life that will help him expend his energy; he does pull at the
leash so might be a wonderful skijoring partner with some focused
training.

Griffin is a wonderful, happy-go-lucky dog with a great personality.
His long coat does need consistent grooming and when he recently
visited the groomer, we learned that he was perfectly cooperative with
all parts of the process, including having his nails clipped and ears
cleaned. He seems to enjoy being brushed and has no problem with his
paws and belly being toweled off when he comes back inside from a walk
on a rainy or snowy day.

Griffin is active as he's a young dog, but quite mellow for his age
and loves his time as a "couch potato", too, as long as he can be
close to someone who might reach down or over and give him a belly
rub.

So! Who’s looking for the perfect canine BFF?

Griffin and his gal pal, Sophie, are very anxious to come to Midwest Animal Rescue to find their forever homes. They are petrified in the shelter, and need to get out.

This is where you come in - They need a foster home by this Friday 11/1. If you would like to foster these beautiful dogs, please submit the application below.

We cover all authorized medical expenses. You simply provide a safe, loving home!

Why not take this opportunity to make a huge difference in the life of a sweet dog who needs some help?

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.
