Meet Lucky!
*Good with dogs
*House trained
*Champion fetcher!
He is spunky, playful, and smart. He has been friendly and gets along with dogs of all sizes. He is great with our dog who is a 70lb wiem mix and has done great with a 10lb chi mix. He loves to play play play play. He really needs to have another dog in the home or his energy builds and he can become a bit too alert. Alternatively he could do well at a home that will give him ample exercise in the morning and evening. We get his energy out be playing fetch for about 15 - 20 min at least twice a day. He loves to cuddle and burrow his head right into you so he can snuggle as much as he can. He is not needy though and will sleep just as easily on the dog bed on the floor or on the couch away from you. He is extreamly curious about our cat and tries to play with her and herd her but never hurt her. So he would need to be taught to leave cats alone if they don't want to be pestered. He is so smart and could be trained to do an extensive amount of tricks very easily. I leave him out in my house for the night and when I am gone and he has not damaged anything. He is also completely housetrained. This is good because he has kennel anxiety and can not be kenneld as it puts him in a extream amount of distress. I do kennel him succesfully in the car with our other dog. He is still young so he does have energy to burn but not an excessive amount. He would love to be trained in agility, just have a dog to play with and a yard to run in, or go on runs with his people. He can leap in the air to catch the ball and runs faster then any dog I have ever seen to chase it. He is a very sweet dog that deserves a wonderful home with people willing to give him all the love and attention he deserves. Do you have room in your home and heart to welcome this boy?

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.

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.
