Description:

Handsome is a very sweet boy who loves affection and being outside. He loves going on walks and is pretty good on his leash. He'll need some training but has responded well when we coax him with treats -- he is a little stubborn but I think a lot of that comes from being in a new environment.

He would do very well in a fenced-in yard where he can run around -- he likes to move those long legs! Handsome also responded very well to our dog Ada -- they are running the house right now -- and had no issues with our resident cat.

He also spent time with three other dogs at the lake this weekend and did very well with the chaos. He didn't like the little dog who kept bugging him and barked at him twice -- those are the only times we have heard him bark. He went swimming in the lake and got a bath -- not sure if he LOVED the water but he can definitely swim. He also spent time in his kennel and didn't bark or panic.

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.
