Description:
Meet "Pilot"!
A sweet as can be 2 year old American Staffordshire who weighs about
45 lbs.  Pilot's story was a sad one, he was found on the side of the road in a
rough neighborhood...skin & bones,bleeding, dirty.  But, things are looking
promising for Pilot now, he's doing AMAZING in our home! 

He is completely housebroken (no accidents at all overnight or while we're at work!), not at all agressive with food or toys, not much of a barker, sleeps until we wake up (and we're not early birds!) and is very mellow once he's had his morning walk (he loves to bathe in the sun on our front porch!). His demeanor is extraordinarily gentle, especially considering how poorly he'd been treated in the past. (he loves to give a big kiss to me in the morning and is wonderful with kids!)

We have our own dog and they are getting along great, no fights but Pilot likes to play a little rougher than our dog Wenzel is used to:) We're making dailiy progress with basic commands likes "sit" and "lay down", but he already responds to "stay" and if you tell him"no" he listens like a pro!

Pilot will make an amazing addition to a family that is looking for a loving, loyal companion.

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.
