Description:

Poor Clarissa spent the first years of her life living in a cage and used as a breeder. She didn't know how to be a dog when she first came to Mars, isn't that sad?!

Her current foster home has worked hard with her and she has made great strides, she is houstrained and loves to cuddle with her people.

She needs an experienced boxer handler to help her realize that strangers are not bad people, and keep going with her socialization. She has come so far and can go even further if she is in the right home. She currently lives with kids but since she is hesitant with strangers (including strange kids who come over) we would like to place her in a home with no children or older children.

Clarissa has so much love to give, please help her have that chance.

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.
