Description:

Meet Orpheus arriving 8/7/21

Orpheus found himself in a rural MO shelter that MARS often partners with. During his time at the shelter he participated and completed a program called “Pups for Parole”. In Pups for Parole, selected offenders in Missouri prisons have the opportunity to become trainers to rescue dogs. Offenders teach dogs basic obedience skills and socialize them, making them more adoptable. Once the dogs have successfully completed the program, they are adopted through their original shelters or rescue partners. Shelter staff tell us he is a happy boy with a wonderful personality. He seems to love people and enjoys being outside with the other dogs. When approached he always has his tail wagging and his butt wiggling with excitement! The shelter was told he has lived with and is good with kids. At this time we do not know how he will be with cats.

 

 

URGENT: Orpheus needs a temporary foster home, while we work to find a forever home. We cover all authorized medical expenses. 

You simply provide a safe, loving home! 

Why not take this opportunity to make a huge difference in the life of a sweet dog who needs some help?

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.
