Description:
Meet Mango! Mango is a very sweet "little man". He is looking for a family who can love him deeply as he will love them in return. Because of Mango's sad beginning, he is just now learning how to be a dog. He is currently being potty trained and is learning how to go up and down the stairs. He has mastered going up. When its time for him to go out, we have to lift him outside. Mango is currently living with myself and my 2 children, ages 3 and 10. His four legged friends are a shih tzu and 2 chihuahuas. He adapted extremely fast to us and our dogs, actually the same day he came home with me. He gets along with everyone. He seems to be learning a great deal from my dogs. I do close crate him when we are gone and asleep. He is kept in a wire crate so he can see his full surroundings. I keep a night light for him because he cries when it is dark in his room. We added a blanket and a toy duck. He has not dirtied his crate, which is a big plus. Mango will walk with you from room to room and will lay by your feet. He is very loving and wants to be cuddled. He will be a great addition to that perfect family. He deserves his 'happy-ever-after.' Mango came to us from a rural puppy mill. He had never lived a day of his life as a normal pet in a home, with the love and attention a pet deserves. He likely spent 24 hours a day in a crate, where he had to eat, sleep and potty. It is possible he had never even been petted in his life. He has now been rescued from that terrible life. Because Mango is used to being with other dogs, it would be best if he was placed in a home with another dog to keep him company and also to teach him how to act like a real dog is supposed to act. Find out how rewarding it can be to teach this poor boy how to love and be loved. Please feel free to fill out an Adoption application on our main website, www.midwestanimalrescue.org, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features. Thank You! 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.
