UPDATE FROM WILLIE'S ADOPTIVE HOME OCTOBER 12, 2011

Willie is doing GREAT!!  He has got to be the sweetest dog EVER!!  Our
family is just loving him.  He is so well behaved and snuggly :)  He had a
fun day with us on Sunday accompanying us to my oldest daughter's soccer
game!  He loved all the attention and was so well mannered.  I have also
taken him out for a walk with Bear twice and that went really well too.  We
are working on changing his name to Cuddy (after Twins player Michael
Cuddyer...we are big Twins fans!) and he is already learning that...smart
boy!

The dogs are getting along quite well and my cat is finally starting to
venture out from under the bed.  He has been under there since Saturday and
I have been working to introduce them.  Cuddy likes to bark at him when he
is under the bed growling (can't blame him...it sounds weird).  Cuddy
barking at the cat gets Bear upset and he tells Cuddy to "back off" by
growling at him and wagging his tail.  Bear never takes any interest in the
cat but he knows he is family and is making sure Cuddy knows it too!  So the
adjustment for the cat has been slow, but I knew it would be.

As you can see he is feeling right at home!! 

We are so grateful to MARS for rescuing this dog, it
would have been tragic if he would have been put down in a shelter.  Thanks
to all your volunteers for all you do to rescue these animals...because
Cuddy is truly amazing!!

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.
