My name is Colt!

I came all the way to Minnesota from an out of state shelter, where I was going to be put to sleep because I wasn't getting adopted fast enough. And by fast enough, I'm talking days...not months! Anyways, the nice people at MARS said "bring him on up!" so they did- and I am sure glad because I really like it here!

I am in an foster home right now, waiting for my permanent forever home. My foster mom says I am very energetic, but at a "normal" amount for my age...after all, I am under a year! She also says I am a "Heinz 57" of breeds. I am for sure doberman and shepherd...but there could be more!

I came from a really bad situation- based on my behavior, I was definately abused. I have a huge scar across my nose and I am "hand shy" by my head...meaning I cower when new people go for my head. I do not currently live with any kids, but my emergency foster had 2 kids, 7 and 4, so I have had a lot of exposure to kids and so far I have done wonderful around them! I wish I could say the same about cats and small dogs...but they are so gosh darn fun to chase! After all, that's what they were made for, right? :) Just kidding. But really, I would do best in a home with dogs my own size or bigger. I am in a home now with 2 100# + lab mixes, an 80# + dane mix, and a 60# akita/border collie mix and all is good! I can play, play, and play some more!

I currently know how to sit and my foster mom is working with me on the other basic commands. I really hope to go somewhere that can keep up a daily exercise routine if possible!

I am currently 50 pounds but I am VERY thin. I should put on at least five to be at a good weight...my foster mom says you can see my spine right now- gross! I love food though so I am working on cushioning these old ribs so you don't have to see them poking out anymore!

Do you have room in your home for a guy who is getting a wonderful second chance at life? I would be so grateful!

Thanks for checking me out!

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.
