Description:

Pete was found as a stray along with 2 other dogs. We suspect they may have been dumped along a road as no one ever came to claim them from the shelter.

Pete is a LOVER!! He just wants to be with you and snuggle you up. He does well with dogs and leaves cats alone. His pictures make him look like a big dog.. ...but he isn't. He is only 31 pounds! His body proportions make it difficult to assess his exact breed, but we don't think he is a Lab. Let's call him a Heinz 57 bottle of good things. This pup got off of the transport van and immediately bonded with his foster. He is great with everybody and his eyes are actually really like his picture! They are unique. Just like this sweet boy.

He would do well in an apartment or home. He loves to sleep on his spot on the sofa and sleeps most of the day. He looks way bigger than he is – he isn’t a big boy and is slim and trim

Things Pete is working on with his foster:

Re-directing when he someone gets too close with the person he has bonded with
Whining when his bonded person leaves for a bit
Acting overly protective of his current foster when other dogs are around

Now on to the AWESOME things about Pete:

He loves to cuddle
He isn’t an early riser unless you are
Doesn’t bark
Can follow commands such as sit, stay, up and down
Loves swimming
Walks beautifully on a leash
Loves the dog park and will run like the wind but will go with the flow but doesn’t play with balls, sticks or anything else (if that is what you are hoping for)
Does good on car rides
Doesn’t slobber or over kiss
He is a perfect balance of love and he does not mess with cats

He will do good with a family that is ok with a non-overly active dog but one who enjoys walks and parks now and again – oh and swimming too!

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.
