Description:
Meet Perkins!

He is just the cutest little guy! He was found wandering the local McDonalds, and being taunted by some kids.  He is a little shy at first, he needs to know that you are not going to hurt him like those kids did.  Once he trusts you, he is your loyal companion.  He definitely has the Dashound personality.

FOSTER UPDATE: Perkins is a riot!!!  We have renamed him Riley.  
Another good one for him would have been Lightning.  He just flies around
here.  I can't believe how his short little legs can get him up on the beds!
His other family didn't work with him on anything, though, so we are working
on sit right now.  He is very food motivated, so he has really caught on
quickly.  I turned around yesterday and found him on the kitchen table.  He
likes to hide my dogs' rawhides and toys from them.  He makes us laugh right
out loud.  Riley doesn't have a mean bone in his body.  All he wants is a
tummy rub or hugs.  He's an absolute delight.  I'm trying to catch a picture
of him showing off his true personality, but he doesn't like the camera at
all, so I haven't had any luck yet. Somebody is
going to be so lucky to have this little guy as their buddy.
P.S.  Riley walks great on a leash (he loves his walks), and is potty
trained.  He doesn't go to the door, but will whine and gets antsy.

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.
