Description:
Meet Briar — a striking young German Shepherd who was recently found wandering as a stray. With no one coming forward to claim him, his mandatory stray hold ends on July 9th, and he’ll need a foster home lined up and ready to go. Briar is the full package: intelligent, alert, and eager to connect with people. Like many shepherds, he seems loyal and curious, and he’s already showing signs of being a quick learner. We don’t know much about his background yet, but he’s clearly ready to start fresh. He’ll thrive in a foster home that can provide structure, enrichment, and patience as he settles in and decompresses from his time on the streets and in the shelter. Can you open your home to Briar and help him begin his new chapter? Foster needed starting 7/9!
Our Adoption fees for all animals cover required vetting: which includes, Rabies, Distemper Vaccine Series, Bordetella, Deworming, Heartworm Test as age appropriate, Spay or Neuter and Microchip and registration.
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.
