Description:

Meet Avalanche,

Avalanche and his siblings were dumped off at a rural shelter after hours.The shelter workers took them in and called MARS to help these beautiful babies find new homes. They are very sweet puppies and love to cuddle up in your arms. They are all in foster homes now just waiting patiently for their happy ending! Fill out an adoption application if you would like to meet Avalanche!

UPDATE

Avalanche spent most of his early life in a barn so didn't get to see much of the world. After being dumped in a dumpster he was brought to MARS and life has been whirlwind ever since. Living in the house is so different with many new noises (TV, chairs sliding across the floor) that at first startled him but he is getting accustomed to them. Now there are stairs to go outside which he is now navigating like a pro. Toys are a bit harder, there are chew toys in his kennel and living room floor but we still have to show him what to do with them. Avalanche doesn't mind being kenneled at night, in fact if the world gets to be too much for him he will regroup in the kennel during the day. He continues to be very timid it is just so much to process, when the house is quiet he will show is personality by playing with us. He gets along with the other dogs in our home, we don't have any cats so I don't know how he would be with them.

Avalanche is looking for a family that will be patient with him as he continues to learn that the big wide world is not so scarry

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.
