Description:

Dingo is a very loving little boy with such unique ears. Everywhere we go people stop and ask what kind of dog he is with those ears. He is so cute he brings a smile to everyone that sees him. He must have started out life in a good home because he came to MARS neutered, housetrained, and walks well on a leash. I don't know what happened to him after that but this sweety was a starved bag of bones when he came to my house, and seems to have suffered some abuse in the past, if you raise your voice or seem angry he curls in a ball and shakes, especially with men ( I am working with him on this and he gets less afraid everyday). The sun rises and sets for him with his person, he would rather get a pat on the head from me than eat or play with toys. I take him for a walk every morning and then we like to spend the rest of the morning just snuggling on the couch (he is a great snuggler). He is great with children, an 8yr old girl I know loves walking him and he likes it too. He is kennel trained but does not like it very much so he would be better in a house were he is not crated 9hrs a day like at my house. He would also like to sleep in bed with someone as well, he is great out of his kennel and does not get into things he is not supposed to. He plays great with other dogs big or small, he does have a high prey drive so should not go to a home with cats or small animals. That is the only reason I am not keeping this dog for myself ( I have 2 cats). Please open your heart and your home to this little guy, I promise you he will return it one hundred fold.

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.
