Description:

Hello Bono here to give you the a much needed update on ME!

Well I can tell you that I do love to cuddle. If you are on the ground with me, I can guarantee that I will be climbing on your lap for some cuddle time. If you really want to see me get up and go I am able to pull myself up and walk around on carpet. Those smooth surfaces are a bit scary and I can walk on them but if I slip and fall I can't get back up by myself unless I drag myself to carpet or I get help from my foster mom and dad.

My foster mom wants me to continue to be independent and learn to problem solve more so that I don't become to dependent on my future parents for too much. I can go on walks but not for very long since it can take a lot of me. But if I get my wheelchair I should be able to go longer. One thing that is very important for those that are thinking about adopting me and making me your new best friend is my weight. My weight needs to be carefully managed because if I become to heavy that's placing way more added stress on my front legs and I could get hurt easier.

Now lets talk about potty training. My foster mom and dad are very proud of me because I am very good about holding it for up to 8.5 hours. I don't bark to tell you I have to go outside but once you show me the door you want me to go to I will go there and then to you and then there again to let you know I have to go potty. I will have an accident if you don't bring me out though, but I try my best not to do that.

I am crate trained and I do know when I get out of my crate I have to go outside and potty right away. To make it easier on my future parents backs I would do best in home that has a walk out patio/deck door so that you don't have lift me up to often. I am not able to do those stairs things, but I am able to go up and down on ramps that have some sort of traction for my front paws to grasp on. I have never used a doggy door before however I will give it a try if its big enough for me to effectively use it. Which means I have to be able to stand up and walk through since my back legs are fused and don't bend.

I do love to play with other dogs and wrestle with them too. Just cause I have fused legs doesn't mean I can't wrestle with the best of them. My foster parents have 2 cats and I like them and always want to say hi to them but they don't like me. I won't ever try to hurt them cause they are very pretty.

Also I like my foster dad's kids a lot mostly cause one likes to feed me yummy human food. I do like to talk sometimes mostly just to let you know if someone is at the door or if I really need help getting up, but for the most part I am pretty quiet.

Well I think that's enough information to get you started and I hope to update you after Feburary 2nd when I get to see the vet about possibly getting my wheelchair! *paws crossed*

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.
