Description:
BOLT NEEDS A NEW FOSTER HOME!!

I'm Bolt (or Ziggy as my foster family calls me!).  I was born October 2 2009 so am about 3 months old.

I am a GSD mix I think, probably a little of this and that as well.  I'm  just learning what its like to live in a house with people - you know - be part of a real family. 

I was born in a rural shelter and just got to MN recently...I am a very good boy - I am mostly house broken (they have this great door that lets me come in and out as I please!). 

I live with 2 other big dogs, 2 cats, some kids and big people.  I just love it!  I have to tell you I am a little shy at times - and some things startle me but I come around quickly.  I also go to this thing where I get to play with lots of dogs - big and small - and meet lots of people - that's way fun!  But here's my foster-mom to tell you more -
 
Ziggy is an absolute doll!  He has a lot to learn but seems to catch on quickly.  He has free run of the house and does great (knock on wood).  Sleeps through the night and we've had no accidents in the house for 2 days.  He knows to "come" (but will choose to or not!) and he knows "sit".   He is very eager to please and very food motivated - with time and attention, he will make a fabulous pet!

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.
