Arriving 4/15/23

Wyatt has one of those stories that makes you shake your head. He was out running loose in rural MO. When some nasty person took it upon themselves to shoot him. Our rescue partner was called in and got him the veterinary care he needed.

Our partner named him "Wyatt" (as in Wyatt Earp) and he spent a day at the vet where he had X-rays, showing he was shot with probably a small caliber bullet which clipped his ear and entered his neck, nicking the jugular vein and doing a bit of damage to the esophagus and trachea. The miracle is that he will recover. The bullet fragments are still in there but are too small to remove. He is on antibiotics and pain meds which are helping.

He was starving, clearly on his own and seeking help when shot. He is skeletal under the fur and only 43 lbs. In spite of all the trauma and cruelty he has endured, Wyatt is incredibly sweet, grateful for kindness, wants to be close, and joyful at every meal. He has some recovery ahead of him but we have promised him, he will never again be subjected to anything like this at the hands of a pea-brained human. It's all good from here, Wyatt.

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.

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.
