Description:

Foster Update: Barney has been doing great in his foster home as he patiently waits for his forever family. He is a laid-back dog, who enjoys lounging on the couch, sleeping-in, snuggling, going for walks (he walks well on a leash), hiking, exploring at the park and even rollerblading! Barney is the type of dog who will easily adapt to his family’s life-style. He would do well with a daily walk and lounging around the rest of the day or in an active family who likes to go! The best part about this young guy is that he is house-trained!! He wags his tail at the door when he needs to go out and has not shown any destructive behaviors in the house. Barney loves cats – he wishes they would cuddle with him, but he leaves them alone if they’re not interested. Barney has also been getting along well with his small foster-dog sister and other dogs he meets on walks. Good with baths, brushing, nail-clipping, and at the vet. Barney is currently only kenneled when his foster family is not home, and he has been quiet and clean in his kennel. Barney is an all-around good dog who is thankful for the second chance at life and patiently waiting to love you forever.

Barney is a wonderful little guy that was saved on the last day from a high kill shelter. He is currently in an emergency foster home where he is great with the other dogs and cats and is even housetrained! He is a beautiful terrier that can't wait to find his forever family!

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.

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.
