Description:
Max just arrived from a high kill shelter in Missouri. His future was bleak at this shelter, because they do not adopt out dogs. If they are not claimed by their owners, they are put to sleep. MARS was able to rescue Max just in the nick of time. He was scheduled to be euthanized on Sat, Aug 15th.

Max is a very sweet, innocent dog and doesn't deserve a fate like that. He is a young, high energy boy. Could you be his forever home?

UPDATE FROM MAX'S FOSTER:
He is a wonderful dog, good with cats and other dogs, LOVES people and children. He needs to learn some manners with regards to food in peoples hands and on the table, but he is not obnoxious about it. He is very gentle when taking treats from the hand. He likes to chew plastic. i.e. Milk jugs. He does show some signs of neglect and possible abuse.

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.
