Description:
Catron - or Megatron - as we have lovingly nicknamed this big boy is doing well here and has settled in just fine. He is crate trained, potty trained, and gets along with the cat just fine. He loves to go for walks, but loves naptime after even more!

He chooses to sleep in his crate at night, although we have been giving him free roam of the house at bed time. He is crated for the work day and does not seem to mind in the least.

He loves his kong and he loves to chew on his rope toy also and play tug o war - but only for a minute before he is tired and takes the toy under the
table to chew on it. He has not chewed anything inappropriate besides a cat toy or two, and we can hardly blame him for that.

He was definitely fed people food in the past, but he is slowly figuring out that he is not going to get any of that here and eventually goes and lays down while we eat. He is doing well on his diet and exercise plan and will be a fit & trim new doggy in no time! He needs a home who will be committed to keeping this boys weight down to keep him healthy for the rest of his 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.
