Description:
Alex is an awesome and loving dog. He loves to curl up next to you and be petted, but he also loves his time outside to run and play. He loves his belly to be rubbed and his neck scratched.

Alex is very easy to care for. He sleeps most of the day, and when he is awake we just give him a bone and he is happy as a clam. He is kennel trained, but we have found that he does just fine outside the kennel when we are gone for a while.

He knows how to sit and shake. He is a smart cookie, I know he would do well with more obedience training. Alex does great with kids!

He will let them lay on him, play with him, and pet him. He is really calm and relaxed around children, so he would be great for a family.

Alex must have had some abuse or neglect in his past, as he cowers sometimes when you go to pet him. Alex has warmed up to us fast though.

He sits by me on the couch when watching tv and I let him curl up next to me on the bed at night. He follows me around where ever I go in the house. He has a very loyal personality.

Alex definitely would love a little outside time everyday. He is doing better on the leash during his walks, but needs a little more work. He will run given the chance, so a fenced in back yard is a must. We still put him on a long leash, even though we have a fence yard because he found his way out once.

He likes to just sit outside and enjoy the sun, even in this extreme MN cold. Alex is a wonderful dog, and really deserves a second chance.

He just wants to be a part of a family! He is also good with cats and dogs.

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.
