Description:

Meet Bandito! He is a very loving old boy and wants nothing more than to be at your feet napping and to be loved in return. He lost his home due to no fault of his own. He LOVES going for car rides! He also loves hanging with his foster brothers and sisters.

Bandito does not handle separation well and will need someone who is home a lot in order to fufill his needs. He also has to have a large breed female dog, who is ok being left home alone loose in the house in order for him to feel relaxed and not become anxious and possibly destructive. As long as he has canine company he does alright. His foster mom has attempted to teach him to stay in a dog crate when alone but he becomes frantic and destroys the crate to escape. His separation anxiety started when his lifelong dog companion passed away. Up until that point, he had always been left loose in the house with his friend when home alone and did just fine.

Bandito has what is called Iris Atrophy. He saw a very good canine eye specialist who diagnosed this disease. He told us that it would not cause him any issues with his eyesight and did not require any medical care as there is no repair for this disease.  This disease causes the pupils not to dilate or constrict properly because of tears of the tiny muscles that control this action. The only consideration needed is Bandito will need a pair of canine sunglass goggles to keep him comfortable when he is outside in bright light, especially wintertime. His foster mom is training him to accept these now.

Please feel free to fill out an ADOPTION APPLICATION by clicking on the ADOPT button below.

Thank 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.

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.
