Description:
Meet Frosty! Frosty has a very sad story to tell. He is only 9 months old and has spent his entire life chained outside on a deck. We were able to pursuade the owners to surrender him and he is now coming into rescue. Poor Frosty has never been shown what it is like to be a beloved family pet. He had no attention, no exercise and no veterinary care. We are have found him a very special foster home to help him understand how a dog should be treated and to help teach him what is expected of a wonderful guy like him. FOSTER UPDATE: Frosty is extremely loving and bonds quickly. He will follow you wherever you go. He would like to be a lap dog if only we would let him. He chases squirrels and tries to climb the tree right after them. He still doesn't understand why they can climb and he cannot. Although given the right tree he probably could climb it. Frosty is extremely athletic. He is now clearing our 4 foot fence with room to spare. In fact when he got out and I opened the gate and called him back he figured it was easier to go over the fence then travel the extra three feet to go through the gate. It is unlikely that he will be confined by anything less then a 6 foot fence. Fortunately he is quite content with a tie out. He loves his crate and does not fuss at bedtime or when we leave him alone. He is making good progress on his socialization skills.
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.
