Description:

Meet Homer, the charming and lovable four-legged companion who will steal your heart with a wag of his tail and a warm, wet nose. This sweet boy is housetrained, crate trained, listens well, and LOVES learning new commands!

Homer’s very patient and will wait for you to like him. He’s a little shy at first, but it doesn't take long for him to get attached. He simply adores people of all ages and sizes, embracing every opportunity to make new friends. He wants more than anything to find someone who he can be a loyal companion to.

When interacting with dogs, he may use his voice if they first get in his face, but once introduced, Homer becomes a well mannered gentleman by either leaving the dog(s) alone or playing with them! He hasn’t had a chance to interact with any cats yet, but we’re pretty sure he would leave them alone since he has experience with little dogs in his current household.

Homer thoroughly enjoys going on walks and embracing all the smells of the great outdoors. He can get tired fast; he came to us overweight but he’s getting back in shape and has improved his endurance by going a little further with every walk (stay stocked with water!).

His foster has been working with him to improve his walking skills and we are all very proud of his progress.

Are you ready to welcome this sweet boy into your family???

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.
