Description:
Meet Angus!

Foster Update:

What a character this guy is! He is very affectionate and super
snuggly. He will climb right up on your lap or chest and even gives
kisses! He will get excited and stomp his little feet on command, so cute!
He is getting along very well with the resident one year old dog and 14
year old cat. He is very gentle and even grooms her. He walks GREAT on a
leash. He will go potty outside if he is on a schedule. If you pay close
attention to him he will give you cues but doesn't quite know how to tell
you he needs to go outside. He stays close outside and hasn't run off at
all. He is fine with being on the floor next to the bed on a pillow. He eats great, kind of a foody so be careful not to over feed him. He has a super mellow disposition very calm and easy going. He will need time to get to trust his person and is timid and leery of people he does not know. He is a former puppy mill breeding dog so being a pet is new to him but I can already tell he LOVES IT. I am surprised how quickly he is adjusting like he has been waiting for his proper role his whole life.

Many mill dogs need another balanced, well adjusted dog in the home that they can model after.

Our adoption applications may be found on our website at
www.midwestanimalrescue.org.

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.
