Description:
Houston is a great boy, fully house trained without accidents, no chewing, and doesn't complain if you have to be away for a long day sometimes. He does well with kids, dogs, and the occasional cat visit. His mild temperament makes him easy to love and he often lets my 4 year old lay her head on him and hug him. He also knows wait, stay, and sit, but was taught to 'shake hands' every time he sits. He is a good
walker and only occasionally gets worked up about meeting new dogs. He has not had any aggression over food or bones and he actually likes to 'hide' his bones in the yard by attempting to cover them by pushing dirty on them with his nose. He is super cuddly and loves to be in arms reach and against you at all times. He really likes attention from men, but does great with women too. He forgets he is a bit big and knocks over the 4 and 6 year old often. He deserves an owner that can really sit with him and cuddle all the time. Houston is the perfect gentle giant

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.
