Description:

Sweet little Eli is one of many Shih Tzus that have recently come into our care. Great dogs, they are healthy and beautiful. They are retired breeder's dogs from a kennel that is down-sizing. Just one years old, Eli's career ended before it began. He is ready to get out of the business and reclaim his puppy-hood.

Shy, a bit timid, sweet natured and eager to find his real home, give him two weeks of intentional love and holding, and he will learn to be a real dog. I sometimes think that retired breeder's dogs are like the Velveteen Rabbit... only through love will they become real. You can watch them learn to trust, play and discover a dog's life.

Time, patience and your care is all Eli needs.

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.
