Description:

Meet Seymour!

Seymour (we call him teddy) is totally housetrained. He has run of the house for 7 hours, 4 days a week while we're at work and has gone as long as 9 hours on occasion. He is crated in our room at night, but doesn't need to be and would rather share your bed or have a doggie bed on the floor in your room. He likes his walks and walks wonderfully on a leash and never pulls. Seymour is fine with other dogs around, but doesn't interact with them. He is a people dog, it's all about his people and he wants to be by us and even sits in the bathroom with me in the mornings when I get ready for work. He is not a barker or a chewer and is fine around children. Loves to sit next to us on the sofa when it's TV time or lay on the floor in the room with us. Seymour is a sweet loving boy we really enjoy having him for our foster.

Medical Update

X-rays have confirmed that Seymour has collapsing nasopharynx and trachea.   This means that his airways can narrow and he can have mucous build up. When this happens to him, he will cough.   This can happen when he is excited, sleeping, or when he wakes up.

At this time, his foster reports that he seems to be letting out a cough once a day if that.   He is able to enjoy a 1-2 mile leisurely walk without trouble.   He is doing very well and should be a fine companion for the right folks.

There is no cure for this, but Seymour can have a good long life anyway! He will need a few accommodations, but most are pretty easy to do!   A relatively quiet, smoke-free home would be a good place.   He gets along with everyone, but a child-filled active home will not be the best for him.
Elevating food bowls, using a harness and never a collar, exercise at an easy pace, and keeping a healthy weight are all things that will help him live with his condition.

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.
