Description:
Foster Update:

Fozzy is personality plus. If only we had room for another dog we'd keep
him. Fozzy has left his puppy mill behavior behind him. He has learned to be
a regular doggie. He needs to be in a home with at least one female
caregiver as he likes women more then men. He is independent but
affectionate. He is playful without being hyper. He loves plush squeak
toys and real bones. He is very bright and learns quickly. He quickly
learned that the house was not a bathroom. He loves going for walks and
loves the backyard. Even if he just came in if he hears the door open he
is right there to go back out.

Fozzy definitely needed a second chance. He lived his first years caged
in a puppy mill as a breeder dog. Then he found himself on the auction
block to be sold to another breeder, or as luck would have it, to a rescue
volunteer that believed he deserved a better life living in a home as
someone's beloved pet and companion. These volunteers have successfully
rescued thousands of dogs from being sold to different breeders, and Fozzy
is one of the lucky ones to have a new lease on life. He is in a
temporary foster home until a new foster or his forever home can be found.

Please feel free to fill out an ADOPTION APPLICATION on our main website, www.midwestanimalrescue.org, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features.

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! 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. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

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.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. 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.
