UPDATE FROM OSO'S ADOPTIVE HOME, JULY 26TH, 2011:

Oso is doing great. We renamed him Ozzy. He weighs about 75 lbs and is
extremely active and healthy. He and his fur brother, Rowdy, our other
German Shepherd, run around in the yard and have a great time. We get the
occasional growling over food but we just feed them separately and there's
no trouble.  We recently took custody of a relative's 3 kids ages 3, 9 and
10 and the dogs are very protective of them. The kids like to take the
dogs in their room and play petting zoo with them. We also have 2 cats and
the cats and dogs seem to get along fine. The cats are allowed to get on
the furniture, couch and chairs, and usually just lay on the back of a
chair and the dogs don't usually bother them.  Our cats are declawed but
if the dogs do get frisky the cats just jump on the couch and the dogs
don't ever go after them on the furniture.

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.
