Description:
Meet Grandpa!

Grandpa really isn't all that old - only about 8 or 9 years. But in his life, he has seen many of his children come and go. You see, he belonged to a breeder. Recently, this breeder decided he had no more use for Grandpa, and dropped him off at a local shelter, where he was to be euthanized if not saved by a rescue group. We believe Grandpa is more than just a tool to father puppies to make somebody money!!!

Grandpa is VERY easy to love! He is sweet, and somewhat shy, and really just wants to be cuddled and pet. Because he is not used to being a family companion, he is learning all the joys slowly. He still startles pretty easy, but he is getting used to his soft dog bed, and all the neat dog toys. He gets along with all other dogs, and is becoming playful with his canine foster sister. After just one accident his first night, he is totally housebroken. He will make a lucky family just a wonderful, loyal companion. He deserves to spend the rest of his years just being a happy dog!!! Can you help Grandpa??

Thank you!

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.
