Description:

This little guy is looking for a home with a family that will teach him what it is like to be loved. Gerald is working on his manners in his temporary foster home and learning to trust. We are not sure what happened to Gerald in his past but he really wants to give love but sometimes too shy to go through with it. UNTIL you pick him up and he will give you a million kisses. At first Gerald might try to run away when being picked up. He just needs to learn this is safe. Once you have him he can be a total lover.

This sweet boy has the most beautiful long soft fur when it grows back in. He was a little matted when he arrived so he needed to be shaved down.

He currently lives with big and little dogs, kids, and cats. He does not seemed to be bothered by any of them.

He is crated during the day and does very well. We currently feel a fenced in area for this guy would be best since he can get spooked when first acclimating to a new home.

He really wants to be loved and we know there is someone out there that needs a little guy just like Gerald.

URGENT: needs a temporary foster home, while we work to find a forever home. We cover all authorized medical expenses.

You simply provide a safe, loving home!

Why not take this opportunity to make a huge difference in the life of a sweet dog who needs some help?

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.

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.
