Description:
This is Scooter!

Scooter is a delightful little companion. He is content to sit and amuse himself, but if you pick him up and rub his belly he is in heaven. He is a compact mellow fellow and would be a perfect fit for an older person. He would also fit well into a home where he is left alone during the day as he gets free run of our household and avoids all mischief. He rarely barks but will on occasion howl or make strange noises for no particular reason at all. He loves both men and women. He is comfortable around other dogs of all sizes. He is not appropriate for a household with small children as he is fragile and does nip if you are too rough with him. Every day he is learning a little bit more. When we first got him he didn’t know how to play, be a lap dog or chew on a bone. He is playing more and more each day ,is now comfortable on a lap, and bones are now at the top of his favorite things. Squeak toys run a close second.. He loves his walks and is very well behaved when you take him. He will follow you where ever you go. If not for leash laws he probably wouldn’t even need one. He’s fully housebroken. He does appear to have food allergies and will need a prescription diet.

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.
