Description:


Auggie is a good looking male german shepherd, estimated to be about 5-6 years old.  He ended up as a stray at the pound, and was never claimed by owners.  When we rescued Auggie a couple of months ago, he was skin and bones, and had a very severe case of heartworms.  But after a steady diet of healthy food, and successful treatment of his heartworms, this guy is full of vigor and ready to go to a forever home!

Auggie is a playful guy, with a fair amount of energy.  He would love to have other playful dogs, or playful people, or both in his new home!!!  He loves his walks around the neighborhood, meeting new people and pets.  He is full of love to give, and will be a loyal and wonderful addition to any household.  He doesn't have a lot of experience around cats, but we think he would do OK with proper introduction.

Please feel free to fill out an Adoption Application on our main website, <a href=http://www.midwestanimalrescue.org>www.midwestanimalrescue.org</a>, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features.

Thank You!

UPDATE FROM AUGGIE'S ADOPTIVE HOME, JULY 19TH, 2011:

We have had (Auggie) Tigua (pronounced TEE-ga) for over a year and a half and we
cannot express how much we absolutely LOVE him!  Every day is a treat and an
adventure with him.  He is SUCH a good dog and exceedingly smart. We changed
his name the day after we got him and he learned it and responded to it
within that day!

He loves everyone, especially little kids, other animals and likes both of
our cats (one of them is still not super crazy about him tho... ;)  This hot
weather does wear on him a bit on his morning walk, and he is afraid of
thunder.  So funny to see such a "fierce" looking dog whine about a little
thunder, but we just comfort him and he is fine.

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.
