Description:
Allen is very active and would really benefit from some basic training. He will play fetch (but only very short distances) and will actually bring the toy back to be thrown again! He sleeps in the crate but wants to get out as soon as he hears any stirring!! He is VERY food motivated and will clean up any other pets' dishes if they are not fast eaters. He probably would benefit from a slow feeder bowl. He LOVES people and loves being picked up and snuggled. He gives kisses. He wants to play with other small dogs and is not bothered by the resident cat, who only tolerates his curiosity. We are working on housebreaking by watching his signs. I also take him out after every nap, meal or play event. He hasn't been around children but would probably do okay with those who are respectful of dogs. Notes from the vet: Allen was born with an eye abnormality that makes his right eye look a little different to us but doesn't cause him any pain or affect his vision. No treatment is needed now or in the future for the abnormality.
Allen was also found living in a small crate which led to him to lay in his own urine for long periods of time. Because of this he has fur discoloration and hair loss from the urine scalding. It is possible that the hair will not fully grow back but he is comfortable now and no further treatment will be needed.

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.
