Description:

Hi! I'm Poko! My Foster Family is going out of town and I need a furever place to stay. So! To help you out in your decision to take me home.... Here's some info about me!! I'm:

Good with Dogs
Good with Cats
Great with Kids
Crate Trained
Housetrained
Fun Entertainment
Loves his People
Gives Kisses

My foster family says that I look like a chubby little fox with a cute smile and have lots of thick fur, that makes you want to give me big hugs. I like big hugs. Being brushed and petted is like therapy for me and I'll just sit still or lay down while you brush me. I also like being scratched around my ears and neck. I get along well with adults and kids. I have been good around other dogs and cats that I have met. I would like to play with the cat but she's still checking me out right now. I will run after the cat if she runs but have not shown any aggression toward her, I just want to play!!

I love to run around the yard and crouch down and play chase with you! I'm not sure what to do with toys or how to fetch a ball so you would have to show me. I'm still trying to figure out how this whole leash thing works, but those humans say that and I'm doing ok. I would like someone to train me or go to obedience classes with me. My foster family is not sure that I have ever lived in a house with stairs before as it took me a couple of days before I would go up or down them. But... I did it! I concoured that fear, no problem! I'm a smartie!

I have been good in the house and have had no accidents! Yay me! I'm ok with going in the kennel when my foster family is gone but I would prefer not to if I have a choice. I'm pretty quite for the most part and feel the need to speak up and bark.

I do, occasionally, make this cute noise that kinda sounds like a cat when I want to play with the cat or when I first go into my kennel. I love to just hang out with one of kids in my foster family while she works on her homework. I can also make sure you are comfy in bed with me at night, if that's okay with you! If not... A dog bed on the floor right next to you would be great too.

I would love to find my forever family?

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.
