Description:

My name is Matadi and I am handsome...or at least quite cute.

No one know for sure who my parents were but the best guess is that one was a Rottweiler and the other was large and shaggy!! I was a stray and ended up in a shelter.

I am a VERY smart dog. Sometimes too smart for my own good. If you get excited, I will get even more excited! If you get nervous, I get nervous. So I am looking for someone cool, calm, and confident to follow. I know many commands and like challenging toys with treats inside to keep me busy. I need a home that will challenge me mentally and wear me out physically.

Matadi will do best in a home as the only dog. He has been able to get along with other dogs in the past, but over the past several months has over reacted with barking and pulling at other dogs. He is working on socializing in his foster home and we hope to help him work through this. Matadi is a lot of dog and cannot go to a home with children-he just gets too excited.

If you are interested in learning more about Matadi fill out an adoption application below!

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.
