Description:

Rigby has come so far since coming to my house. He is such a well behaved boy with the perfect balance of active and couch potato. He has been swimming at the White Bear Dog beach, he has competed and earned points in an UpDog Disc competition, he has attended my sons football games and practices, and gone on many hikes and dog friendly patio events, he is a really easy going guy, calm and well behaved in public. Rigby loves to play tug and disc and then snuggle on the couch. He is a big fan of kids and loves to play with all the kids in my neighborhood, his best human friend is my 7 year old daughter.

Over the summer he learned sit, down, come, and stay. He really wants to please his people, listens well when he understands what you want and is really easy and fun to train.

Rigby is crate trained and readily goes to his crate any time we leave, he is calm and confident in the house and enjoys getting out to see new things. He sleeps quietly on a dog bed on our floor at night and walks great on a leash. He is a super fun and easy dog to have in our family as we can always take him anywhere, he is trustworthy in the house (though I always crate him when I leave). Rigby enjoys the company of my other dogs and seems happiest when he has a dog buddy, but I do make it a point to take him out frequently on his own as he gains more confidence, and he does great.

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.
