Meet Toss,

'Toss' is an adult Collie mix who was surrendered to a shelter by his family who stated they "could no longer care for him" . His intake picture shows, that they hadn't been taking care of him physically. We can only hope he received emotional care instead.

UPDATE FROM TOSS'S FOSTER: We have renamed him Tucker because he didn't respond at all to Toss. He comes immediately to Tucker.

Tucker is so sweet and kind. He loves it when you sit on the floor by him. He tucks his head right into your neck, or just leans on you. We gave him a bath, blow dry and brush, and he tolerated everything we did to him without any issues. He LOVES to play fetch with a tennis ball. He very gently drops what he has to have you throw it again. He is a very gentle dog and would not respond well for someone who harshly disciplined him. He immediately listens to our gentle corrections. I think he'd crumble if someone was too harsh on him. He wants to please.

Tucker doesn't know any commands: sit, down, stay, etc. He also needs to learn obedience on the leash. He is doing very well in the crate. He feels secure. He has some separation anxiety right now, so two crates in the house works really well for him. If I he needs some time to relax or if we can't watch him for a bit while we do other things, he likes the kitc

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.
