Description:

Poor Luke was dumped at a rural high kill shelter by his family. They just didn't have enough time for him anymore :(

Luke is 3 years old and good with other dogs. He is housetrained and LOVES people. He was curious around the house cat we introduced him to and will chase if left to his own devices; however, he called off when we told him "No!".

Here is an update from Luke's foster family:

We call Luke the super dog. He is one of the smartest dogs we have ever met. If you are looking for an intelligent dog to train, choose Luke! He is also affectionate and loves to be with people all the time. He enjoys his belly & rear area scratched.

Luke has great recall and he knows sit, down, wait and roll over. He will wait at the door if you give him the hand signal or block him with your feet. But be sure to secure the doors since he has learned to push them open to let himself and other dogs out. He does OK on leash but he requires more training.

He is house-trained and he doesn't need to be crated.

Luke is probably an Australian Cattle Dog mixed with German Shepherd Dog. He is super smart and energetic (not hyper). He should be homed with a family or person who will spend time to exercise him physically and mentally. He gets anxious easily so he will do better in a home without small children.

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.
