Description:

Hi My name is Humphrey.

I came here with my brother Otis. We have lived our whole lives outside with just an igloo to keep us warm. But now we are in a foster home and really enjoy being warm and cozy. We get to stay in the house all we want. Our foster mom thinks we are the best. Since we have only been outside, it totally makes sense to us we go potty outside. Our foster mom is so happy that we have not pottied in the house once since we arrived. Our foster mom also has these fast furry things running all over the house that we live with too. I think they are called cats... 13 of them. Ya, crazy I know. But my brother and I just love to try and chase after them. We are kind of slow but we can corner them some times. We like to bark at them to see what they will do, but they just look at us like we are so annoying to them. They don't want to play with me so I just go lay down.

We havent' been able to jump on the couch, these darn short legs just don't help us much for going into vertical places. We get along with the dogs and cats just fine. There are also some kids that we get to play with her too. Don't you have room in your place for a bassett or two? I really would like my brother to come too, but if you have another play mate for me, I would enjoy that. My foster mom thinks we are the best and knows we will make a great addition to your family.
It may be best to have a fenced yard when having a bassett hound. They are known to follow their noses and it may take them 20 miles from home.

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.
