Description:
I'm HOME!!!Meet Atom! Atom is a very small Sheltie mix who is currently sitting in a HIGH KILL shelter. We need to find a foster home for this little guy and save him from certain death. He is in a shelter that only holds dogs for 7 days and his time is up. Please help us help this little fellow. Atom is a very sweet boy who loves to be loved. He is very cuddly and wants nothing more than someone to share his affection with. He is approximately 3 years old and weighs in at under 20 lbs., so he is on the small side. This little guy is also very quiet and calm. He jumps in your lap when cued and kisses your face. He likes to be in your lap and walks lovely on a lead. Today in the shelter Atom sat in the lobby at their feet while people walked in and out. Atom ignores cats and also tends to ignore other dogs, when walking around the kennels or he just goes up and sniffs them. He is in an open kennel and does not initiate any problems with the other dogs. He will be a very loyal and loving companion to whomever adopts him. Atom will be an ideal pet for someone who can spoil him all day, every day. Won't you please help this boy find the home he so deserves?

Please feel free to fill out an Adoption or Foster Application on our main website, www.midwestanimalrescue.org, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features. Thank You! 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.
