Description:
Meet Benji,

Benji is a very sweet and lovable little guy once he gets to know you. He is a little shy at first, as there has been some abuse in his recent past. But Benji shows absolutely no signs of aggression. He just wants to make sure you have good intentions before he trusts you. Benji loves treats, and knows how to sit. He would love nothing better than to curl up next to you on the sofa while you gently stroke his head.

Benji lived with a large number of dogs with a family who decided to have Animal Control come take all of the dogs away. Benji escaped and was not taken with the others. He then continued to come around the house and the neighbors would do any they could think of, which included throwing rocks, kicking him and poking him with sticks in an attempt to get him to go away. A neighbor witnessed this and took him in. We are now looking for a family to adopt him and show him what it is like to be loved.

Benji is settling in to his foster home now, so he can begin the search for his forever home. This sweet boy just needs a second chance. Will it be with 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.
