Description:

Mato (Bear in Dakota) was dumped near the casino a few days ago. He'd been hanging out by the road, likely waiting for his family to come back for him. Poor guy. They did not come back.

He can be tentative around new people but won over quickly with some treats. He even has been letting his foster's sons take him out for walks.

When he was first found he was underweight but has started to get back to a healthy weight. He is ready to find his forever home. Is that with you?

Here is our update:

The foster home in SD' has 13 and 15 both walk and feed Mato, and 8yr old grandson was also around him no issues.

Bad habits: I’d say not really a bad habit but is very excited to see his ppl and wants attention and thinks he’s a small pocket pooch and pushes against you for pets.

He’s still learning his manners and has done very well, he knows, sit, stay, wait, away still working in down (lie down) Clicker training is also going very well, very treat motivated, but only like “marrow bone” treats

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.

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.
