Description:

Meet Alonzo.

He's 5-6 years old. He's a mild mannered and laid back boy.
He walks well on a leash and is good about not jumping up. He sits nice for treats and knows down.

When he hears the word "treat" he immediately diverts his attention to you so he's obviously been spoiled in the past. He is quiet in his kennel and only barks when it's time to go outside or when the other dogs get excited.

He is a leaner and loves to have his back end scratched. He'll prop his rump against your leg every
chance he gets. He's a very happy boy who is willing to be friends with everyone..

He doesn't react when other dogs approach his kennel and does well with
them on leash. We introduced him to a very crazy young lab and although
the lab was bouncing around, getting in his face, and trying to climb on
him it didn't phase him at all. He was very polite to the smaller (25 lb)
dog we introduced him to and even got down on her level to engage in
friendly hellos. He was very gentle with Cathy, our clinic cat. He actually laid on the floor of our lobby while she rubbed herself on him. She loves big dogs and he had no complaints about her making herself at home amongst all his fur. He will share his food and toys.

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.
