FOSTER UPDATE:

Merrill, who his foster mom calls Teddy, was rescued from the horrific
world of puppy mills where dogs live in cages 24 hours a day to serve the
breeder's wallets and balance sheets. He has never lived a day of his life
as a normal pet in a home, with the love and attention a pet deserves.

HOWEVER... his foster mom is wondering whether Merrill was a house dog at
one point in his life because he is the friendliest little guy she has
ever fostered! He is very social and willingly approaches men, women and
children of all ages. He walks GREAT on a leash, which is unusual for
mill dogs, and even pulls when he is so excited or sees a squirrel! He is
not fond of the crate (understandably so) but has done great confined to
the kitchen area with his friends. He is a playful, happy little guy that
gets along fabulously with dogs of all sizes. He loves to chew on
rawhides and race around the backyard with his foster friends. If you are
looking for a friendly little companion, Merrill would be a great match!

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.
