Description:

Joey is extremely well behaved, intelligent, and good looking. He's a working dog with a herding instinct that translates to - - it's time for a walk, let's go explore and get/keep our bodies in shape to boot. He saves some of his breakfast for after his workout. He appreciates his primary person. He enjoys/requires a calmer environment. Fireworks and hunting gunshots are scary. He is small group social and a good communicator.

Joey was adopted in 2020 and was returned recently because he made a bad choice when he got stressed during a chaotic family gathering. He is now a MARS dog again, assisting his elderly foster mom with emotional support using off-furniture hugs.

Joey is being scheduled for FHO surgery which will be covered by MARS.

Auto Show Alert: I was selected to attend the Auto Show to say hi and share a smile! I will be there on 3/30 from 11am to 3pm & 4/6 11am to 3pm . See you there!?

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.
