Description:

"Hi, I'm Riley! I know my profile says Ripley, but I chose to only come to Riley instead! My foster mom and dad think it fits me better anyway. Since coming to my current foster home, I have learned a lot! I have a foster sister who is a little dog, and I have learned to leave her alone when she gets tired so she doesn't get mad at me! My foster mom is also using something called clicker training with me. All I know is when I sit, the clicker goes off, and I get some awesome treats! My foster mom says I am a really smart boy and am learning really fast. Seriously though, who wouldn't want to sit for those treats??? I also have lots of play buddies who go to the dog park with me for a few hours every night. I am not so sure of them yet, but I am getting better as I know them better. My sister is helping me to be more comfortable with them. Also, my foster family learned that I am very respectful of physical boundaries. They have a baby gate up in front of their room, and even though I could just push right through, I stop and sit at the gate. My foster mom is very impressed with that. That's all for now, but I'll try to get my foster mom to update for me when I learn some more new tricks! (I'm tellin' ya, I learn whatever I have to do get that clicker to go off!!!). That's all for now!"

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.
