Description:

Meet Howard:
Poor Howie (aka Howard) is growing up in rescue through no fault of his own and that's just not fair!. Howie is a big ole teddy bear that loves everyone and doesn't understand the term "Black dog syndrome" or how it applies to him. He is such a handsome Black Lab mix and is sweet as could be, but yet he continues to be overlooked.

Howie is young, full of exuberance and puppy like energy! He would love to find an active family to enjoy lifes adventures with.

He really enjoys socializing at the local dog park and gets really excited while hanging with his friends there.

He is kennel trained and knows when it's time to go to his kennel in the morning when his foster family is heading out for the day.

He is very smart and learns basic commands quickly, however as a young dog he still needs to be reminded of "the rules" when out in public amongst the many distractions of the world. He will benefit from obedience training with his new family.

Howie has been great with his 7 yr old human foster brother, but he's not overly aware of his big size, so he may knock over smaller children until he has some more training.

Howie would love to curl up with you on the couch in the evening to watch a movie or keep you warm in bed during the cold Fall and Winter months ahead.

Will you be the family that can give him the loving home he has been waiting for?

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.
