Description:

Holy cow! I am LOVING this new life. My old owners surrendered me because I needed WAY more time and exercise than they could offer. Now I just competed at the National Dock Jumping Compitition in Dubuque, IA. I even have my own website! Click here http://www.sportmutt.com/aboutus/Remi/featured_athlete.htm

Sure, I count my blessings each and every day but I would really love to find my forever home. I'm a great boy. I get along with dogs of all sizes and I'm great with kids. I don't know why no one has applied for me. I'm quite the looker too!

I am what they call high energy so I would really need a friend that likes to run or will take me to the dog park and play fetch.

I would love to have someone to play with and hope to spend the holidays with someone special.

Thank You!

UPDATE FROM CAPTAIN'S (REMI) ADOPTIVE HOME, JULY 19TH, 2011:

Midwest Animal Rescue & Services approached us back in September of 2010. They said they were looking for a home for this Beautiful, Young, Athletic Labrador/German Shepherd mix named Captain/Remi. I fell in love with Remi the minute I saw him. At that time I wasn't sure if I had the room for Remi, but I was willing to foster him until MARS found him a home.

A couple of months later they contacted me and told me they had found a interested adopter for Remi. Well. . . By that time it was too late. Remi and I instantly formed a bond that would keep us together forever. I adopted Remi and took him under my wings full time.

Remi immediately became my Work In Progress dog for the Sport of Dock Jumping. I knew he had something special but it was going to take some work. Through hard work and dedication, Remi was able to go from Rookie to World Class.

Remi has turned in many world class jumps and has won several national competitions. Remi has also received the title of WORLD CHAMPION at the DockDogs Championships in Canton, OH.

I'd like to thank the folks at Midwest Animal Rescue & Services for bringing Remi and I together and helping assure Remi lives a full and exciting life.

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.
