Thank you for giving us this experience. We’ll be back soon for another sweetie!
 
Yesterday morning was such a sad time for us as we had to say goodbye to our sweet pup, Riley. There was no other choice as he was suffering so much, but we are still heartbroken. Here's his story:

When we adopted Riley from Midwest Animal Rescue Services (MARS) in MN in 2014, the staff and his foster of 5 months told us:
• He is very food-motivated.
• He's a little shy, but very sweet.
• He was picked up from the streets in Missouri.

They did not tell us:
• He was the best dog EVER: totally loving, laid back,
• That he was food-OBSESSED (LOL).
• That he would frequently remind us of the need for a belly rub by showing his WHOLE belly!
• That he would run our house by his schedule, which was created by anything you did ONCE...it became part of the schedule.
• That he would never bark at other animals, just always at people he didn't know.
• That he would rarely bark at all.
• That he would never bother anything that wasn't his or given to him...really! NEVER chewed on anything in our house or bothered a plate of food unless you gave it to him.
• That his favorite place in the whole world would be on the boat with his people. Didn't care much for water or being in it, but was obsessed with going on the boat. We had to spell the word to avoid unneeded excitement and he could smell sunscreen from behind two doors.
• That we would love him so hard and miss him so much.

Run, play, and eat lots of cheese and peanut butter, sweet boy...you gave us more than we could ever give you.

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.

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.
