Samson aka Buddy

Are you looking for a handsome, friendly, well-behaved cuddler who knows basic commands, is great on a leash, and loves going for car rides? Then get over here and meet Buddy!

Best Things About Samson- Buddy:

Look at that mug!

He’s a friendly social butterfly — with people and other dogs!

He knows how to si t , shake, come when called and lay down!

He’s got great manners on a leash and in the car!

He’s so cute and cuddly! He loves to give (and get!) lots of love and snuggles!

Worst Things About Samsom/ Buddy:

If you let him get away with it, he’ll totally hog the bed. King-size, even.

Something Else You Should Know About Samson / Buddy:

This sweet boy has apparently had a bit of separation anxiety in the past, and is continuing to take a prescribed daily medication for the sake of consistency while he’s being fostered. We hope when Buddy finds his loving and stable forever home, his new owners will work to wean him off his medication using behavior medication techniques. We believe that, once he’s confident with his new environment and owners, any anxiety will go away. We also believe he’d do best in a home with a second dog — he’s such a social guy, and he loves having someone to hang out with!

His foster family hasn't experienced any issues with separation anxiety – perhaps because they've got another dog, along with the medication. They have left him home alone, unkenneled, with their resident dog for up to 6 hours. (Buddy doesn't need to be kenneled—and shouldn't be!—because much of his anxiety comes from the kennel.)

If you’re looking for a sweet, lovable, friendly, and well-behaved dog , then look no further — Buddy is the perfect buddy for you!

Samson has been tested around cats, and he does just fine.

Please click on the ADOPTION APPLICATION found below.

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.
