Description:
Meet Sam!

Sam definitely needed a second chance. He lived his first years caged
in a puppy mill as a breeder dog. Then he found himself on the auction
block to be sold to another breeder, or as luck would have it, to a rescue
volunteer that believed he deserved a better life living in a home as
someone's beloved pet and companion. These volunteers have successfully
rescued thousands of dogs from being sold to different breeders, and Sam
is one of the lucky ones to have a new lease on life.

Sam is shy initially, but will be a very friendly dog in no time. He is
in a loving foster home and is just waiting for his forever home and hopes
to have one for the holidays.

Puppy Mill dogs need people who will give them time to adjust to living in
a home environment. Housetraining and leash walking are skills that they
need to learn as they've never been taught. 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.
