Description:
Meet Hershey,

Just like so many others, Hershey has a story.  He is a sweet 1 year old boy who's mom fell on hard times, and had to move to an apartment.  She was willing to pay a pet deposit and begged the apartment to let her keep her dog.  They said no! 

So Hershey is living in her car!!  She didn't want to just give him to anyone and she certainly didn't want to turn him in to the pound as she knew he would not be adopted out because he is just a dog, not a fancy breed.  So she drives around every thirty minutes to keep the car warm, takes him out regularly on potty breaks and walks, but it is only 10 degrees daily and to cold to live in the car.

He knows what a door is and sits at the door when he wants to go outside. 
Gorgeous, huge dog. 
He rides well, does pretty well on a leash and although he can't figure out why there are 15 cats here, all he has done is sniff each one thoroughly.

UPDATE FROM FOSTER:

Magnus is a real GENTLE GIANT! We have a 3 month old puppy that we are fostering
also and he is very gentle with her no matter how rough she wants to play. He is also
great with 1 year old daughter!

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.
