Description:

Meet Mitch,
Mitch and his 2 siblings ended up in a high kill shelter in southern MN. MARS got the call that these 3 little puppies were going to be euthanized that same day. Fortunately MARS had a transport of other dogs driving right passed the shelter, so we stopped there and gave them a lift in to rescue.

We couldn't let anything happen to these sweet babies! They haven't hardly had a chance in life. Can you help them?

UPDATE FROM MITCH'S FOSTER: Mitch, (who we re-named Velcro) is doing fine, he is such a laid back guy,he will tolerate being petted, but would rather just be close to us and hang out. He doesn't much care for going outside (go figure), but I am working on that, talking him for short, frequent walks. He gets along great with our cats, plays "chase the kitty" with the one that wants him to, and pretty much ignores our more "dignified" cat. He isn't outside potty trained, but goes consistantly on his pee-pads. I will also work on getting him trained to go outside, but I gotta get him comfortable being outside at all first! He isn't crate trained, but he doesn't need to be in my opinion. I have left him on his own for a couple hours several times and he hasn't gotten into anything that wasn't his. The first time I was going to leave him on his own, I put him in his crate, but he cried so sad, I let him out and hoped for the best, and I was pleasantly surprised when I got home!!! He is such an awesome dog, if he wasn't gonna get so big, I would consider adopting him myself!!!

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.
