Here is an update from Tubby's foster mom: If Tubby could talk he’d say “Where’s my snack? I’m hungry! Please rub
my belly.” Tubby is pretty chill. In fact, he is so chill that if I
couldn’t see him constantly watching me I would be tempted to check
for a pulse! Tubby loves his squeaky squirrel and prefers to snuggle
up in your lap or onto his blankie for a nap. He prefers to stay out
of the intense play the big dogs get into out in the yard but once
they’ve settled down he’s not shy about walking up to them to say
hello and maybe pull on their collars a little bit. Tubby loves his
people. He wants to be where you are. He is very smart. When he looks
at you, he looks directly into your eyes. He is very quiet and doesn’t
make much noise at all. He doesn’t even give a potty signal but he
will use the potty pad in the play pen. When you take him outside and
say “go potty” he does his business right away, after finding the
perfect spot of course. At night he goes right into his crate and
directly to sleep. He hasn’t made any noise at night, but he doesn’t
have to, Emmy makes noise for him. He is also going potty every 2
hours right now. Tubby is a very sweet, gently boy who will make a
wonderful, and I believe easy, addition to any home.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.
