Description:

Highway is one cool dude! He is so handsome, his pictures don’t do him justice. Highway got his name as he was found dumped alongside a highway in Oklahoma when a trucker happened upon him and picked him up and got him to a shelter for safety. He was pretty timid at first but has since shown shelter staff his true confident personality, Highway is going to make an absolutely wonderful companion to a very lucky home!

Update form Foster:

He is great with humans, kids, and other dogs. I have no cat to test him with. He is friendly and eager to play.
Highway is a sweet dog, but totally untrained! I'm working on sit and walking with less pulling.
No accidents so far
He goes into his kennel easily.
He is a chewer of anything so I've had to take the pillows and everything out of his reach, especially shoes and slippers.
I've heard only one bark this whole time.
He is very eager to learn how to please me and he seems very appreciative of the safety of the home. He paws at me for attention.
He is a little scared of cars driving by.
He is eager to run too, with tons of energy. He is a flight risk!
We have started to bond. He loves to have me just sit and pet him.

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.
