Watch the video of my release!

Chester came to MARS 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...but you would never know it! He loves people and has no
problem prancing right up to you for some affection or to be held in your
lap! He gets along wonderfully with all the other dogs in the foster home
as well as the resident cats. He walks beautifully on a leash -even
though cars and big trucks still make him a little nervous. He does not
live with children in his foster home, but does great with the older
neighbor kids that come to visit him. A home with children under 5 would
not be the best fit for Chester. He has not found his voice...yet.
Shelties can be a barking breed, but for now Chester has been very quiet
in his foster home. He is still working on housetraining, but he's only
been in his foster home just a few days and is already catching on and
doing a great job! Chester currently weighs under 10 pounds, but does
need to put on a few pounds. He's a great eater, so this should not be a
problem.

Chester would make a wonderful agility or therapy dog. He's got a
wonderful personality and is just the cutest little guy his foster mom has
ever seen!

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.
