UPDATE FROM DAWSON'S ADOPTIVE HOME, JULY 19TH, 2011:

We adore Dawson!  He is still very skittish around adults...it actually
started to appear about a week after we adopted him but we are working on
it.  We have taken obedience classes and as soon as he can do a down stay
for 5 minutes we plan on taking an agility class to boost his
confidence...the trouble is he doesn't like to be too far away from me for
too long so the down stay thing is tricky.  He has had issues with
infected anal glands that we are trying to get under control but doing
well with.  He is a fast learner and is perfect on a leash.

He is fantastic around the daycare kids...occasionally he forgets how big
he is and knocks them over but they all know he doesn't mean it.  He's
only gained about 4 pounds...he only eats if I'm on the same level
and he'll take treats from the kids but not adults except a few "Chosen"
ones...lol.

I've attached a photo of him with two of his three human brothers.

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.
