Here is an update from Trixy's foster family!

Trixy has easily became part of the pack here in our house. She can be loud at times, but it is not meant in a bad way, and we are working on that. Trixy is starting to sleep beside our bed at night, as most protective Shepard's do for their humans. She loves to be petted and will remind you with a gentle nudge that you are not doing your job.

She does get excited sometimes when she discovers her tail, but we are working on that bad habit also :) She responds well to commands and is very attentive to her humans. She interacts well with all other animals in the house. She pretty much ignores the cats, although it is difficult when the kitten decides her tail is a toy, but will just walk away. She take treats gently and always looks for another. Trixy will make any family with mature kids or without kids a great family dog.

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.
