Description:
Rex, or Knox as we call him, is a such a sweet boy!  He has been fitting right in with our crazy household,
he has even been getting along with our ferret! Knox and our dog Sasha are doing
well- Knox is always up for a romp or a good chase- I know he wishes that Sasha
would play with him more, but alas she is aging and is content watching Knox run and
chase the squirrels and birds from our yard.

He also has been just as agreeable with our cats- one is old and wants nothing to
do with new friends and he is VERY careful to respect this cats space but still
lingers a little just in case the cat changed his mind. My other younger cat plays
with him and they seem to be on their way to a beautiful friendship. He is very
intrigued with our ferret (of course) when she is out of her cage running around
and will chase her but hasn't mouthed her or tried to pounce on her, nor is he
relentless and will allow the ferret to eat or bathroom without interruption- so a
very good sign he understands our pack.

He spent the day with us out at the family farm and was more than content to sit at
our feet and hang out at the bon fire with the adults and was a great sport when the
kids wanted to walk him around the house or to the tree house to hang out there with
them. He walks great on a lease but will try to play tug a war if he thinks you are
engaging him but stops when you tell him no. Knox is housetrained and is a grazer
with his food. I leave two bowls out all day one of my dog and the other for him
and they both graze from both of them throughout the day with no
incidents/arguments.

Currently he has been sleeping with my husband and I at night. We have not had to kennel
him, nor do I think we will need to,he is pretty mellow. Even when we all sit down to
eat he has good manners and lays down with our dog and waits for us to be done- no begging!
Despite his young age he has not chewed anything, but does jump and nip when he is playing
with us- we are working with him to learn to play with us without using his mouth.

He does bark if he is outside and someone pulls into the driveway but stops when you
tell him or acknowledge his alert. Knox is a great dog that would fit in with
almost any life style- very easy going and friendly.

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.
