Description:

Meet Orso!

Orso aka Bear was surrendered to a Dallas shelter after his owner passed away. This sweet old man is just as sweet as ever. He's an older gentleman so he's not into long walks or socializing with his doggo peeps at dog parks anymore but he does love having his own comfy chair, a person to call his own and follow around the house or sleep at your feet and even loves a good romp with his foster brother a few times a day (with a nap in between!). He's discovered the toy box and you'd think he was a kid on Christmas morning! Toys everywhere until he found a beloved bone.

Orso currently has flea dermatitis which means that he had fleas before he came into rescue (those buggers are all gone now) and those flea bites bugged his skin and made him itch so much that he lost some hair at the base of his tail. Good nutrition and no fleas will make a big difference. He had an ortho check on his legs and he's all good, just has old man joints and can get stiff when he gets up in the morning or after a long nap and watches his footing when going up and down stairs. He does have a bump on his checks and needs his toofers polished up, both of which will be taken care of at our veterinary clinic.

Orso's hoping for his very own home so he can celebrate the holidays with his new loved ones! If that's you, smash that adopt button and let's meet!

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.
