Meet Ozzie!

Poor Ozzie was about to be put to sleep due to an unfortunate chain of events when MARS was contacted about helping this boy. Below is a note from his foster home...

So far he's been great with our other two girls.  I think he will do just
fine in a home with other animals.  He definitely has spunky puppy play but
has only needed to be corrected once for being a little too rambunctious.
The common theme with him is that he only seems to need one correction to
get the point. He has a crazy love if water, that is probably the lab in him! 
    
He has no food aggression or bone aggression.  He's actually quite timid and cowers if you
move too quickly at him.  He's got a soft mouth and easily listens and gives
up toys.  We've almost gotten him to learn how to "kennel up" in just the
few short days that we've had him.  He responds amazingly well to treats and
can sit,  stay, shake, lay down and he's almost able to "come" when called.
He's about 80% potty trained.  I've been around a lot of dogs and this
little guy is amazingly intelligent.  I can't stress enough how EASY this guy is.
He would Love a home of his own!

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.
