Meet Howard!

Howard is a really happy boy — he loves people! Poor Howard was completely matted when he was found and had to be shaved down completely. Because his mats were so tight, and because he was so dirty, he has areas on his skin that are extremely irritated so he requires a special bath and some medications to help his itchy skin. He is also very overweight, weighing in at 28.5 pounds! The vet says he should weigh about 15 pounds, so he REALLY needs a restricted/monitored diet. This little guy is only about 2 Â½ years young so he should be playful and active but his weight is affecting his quality of life.

If you think you have the time and dedication that Howard needs please fill out an application so Howard can find his new forever 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.
