Description:

Fitz is a fun loving puppy. He is picking up on housetraining, he had a few accidents but is starting to go to the door. We have a treat bucket at the door so he is associating treats with going potty outside. He absolutely loves his kennel. The door is left open and he is hoarding bones in there. He’s learning to sit and wait for me to say OK before he eats. We are also working on door manners so that when the door is open, he does not bolt outside. He is actually a pretty smart dog.

He is great with dogs and curious about the cat however she does not like Fitz at all. He met plenty of people at a recent gathering and loved them all! He has met some kids agea 9-15 and did well. The baby he met was a bit scary to him. He has discovered his voice, puts his butt up in the air and his tail gets going and he doesn’t stop barking until you get down on the floor and play so I would say no to a shared wall BUT he is smart and will eventually learn.

Overall he’s a good puppy. He will make a great addition to any family, especially one with other dogs. He has a lot of fun energy.

Fitz is currently being treated for Ringworm. This is a very common fungal infection but can take time to fully treat and clear. It will require proper environmental management, compliance with treatments and attending the rechecks at MARS Veterinary Services if adopted before the infection is cleared. Treatment will be covered by Midwest Animal Rescue if done at MARS Vet.

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! 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. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

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.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. 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.
