Description:

Meet Bay aka Zuko!

This stunning boy is a very special boy as he cam to us as a puppy for a hoarding/breeding situation that cause he and his siblings to be completely undersocialized and afraid of humans.

Zuko has been in foster care working with our trainer for months, and has shown great improvement. He is currently with one of our trainers at his place of employment and is doing well. All meets will happen there.

We are looking for a very specific home for Zuko, one that understands a dog who needs time and space before engaging in "normal" dog activities, such has cuddling and kissing...

Zuko is 12-month-old and he is not a “plug and play” dog that will be successful without time to adjust and bond to a firm but gentle handler. Zuko and his siblings were taken from a backyard at 4 months old and have missed out on some critical socialization periods with people.

Zuko learned quickly that barking, lunging, and charging at strangers passing by or coming into his home or yard can easily be frightened away. He uses that to keep himself safe. With the right owner (leader) he handles those scary situations much better and looks to his leader for guidence.

If you would like to learn more about Zuko aka Bay we would be happy to tell you about him. The good the bad and the ugly.
He is good with other dogs, house broken and when he bonds he is very true to his leader.

Bay aka Zuko requires a home with previous German Shepherd experience, one who has had undersocialized dogs and is willing to work with him on it would be best fit. A home without small children and cats would be best.

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.
