Description:

Meet Selik! This boy was first given away by a breeder who was done with him. Then the family who had him moved and gave him away again. And then because of his nervousness the next family felt he was not a good fit for them as their home was very busy and scared him a lot. He is a bit timid sometimes, but does well meeting people. His fears seem to revolve around thinking he will be hit when people are carrying objects like sticks or brooms. Other than needing a little time to learn to trust again, this boy is really a peach! He is house trained, crate trained, good with dogs and cats, and kids, although older kids might be better for him since little ones can get more rambuctious and may frighten him. Wont you be the angel who rescues this dear boy?

Foster update:
Selik (I call him Tommy) is doing great. He is a social butterfly! Loves the dog park and will walk up to everyone and say Hi (and I mean everyone!) I also discovered he likes to dig, fortunately not a lot.

He is still concerned about new noises but had no trouble with my picking up the dog scoop to clean up the yard daily, but does not like a stick raised up. He will now also let me hose him down after the park and loves the tummy rub when drying him off. Repetition for sure works as he realizes you will not hit or hurt 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.
