Description:

Meet Freddy!

Freddy found himself cold and alone in a high kill shelter down south and we just couldn't leave this amazing big guy there!

He is settling into his foster home and gets along well overall with all the dogs in the home and is enjoying his leashed walks. He is loving belly rubs and cuddles with his foster family and it seems his favorite thing is simply lazily lounging on the couch with his person.

From his foster parents:

Fred is a very sweet guy and such a great dog overall!
He is housetrained and will wait just fine until it's his turn for his walk.
He gets along with most dogs, but does not like younger dogs in his face. **At his age it seems he's over that ruff and tumble play style.
He is a HUG hog that will vie for attention if he sees it being dished out to the other dogs.
He loves attention from his people and in particular LOVES to have his tummy rubbed.
He enjoys his walks, but it seems that he was likely used to a fenced yard in the past and would like to explore at his own pace.
He seems to like his kennel, and walks right in it if asked to without any fuss.
He will bark at the cats if other dogs instigate it first.
He sleeps all night on a comforter in our bedroom, so no need to kennel him overnight.

Freddy is searching for a forever family to call his own. Could you have that special home he's seeking?

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.
