Hi I am Gretchen. I Love to lay with someone on the couch. I will sleep at the foot of your bed like most Shepherd’s.

Right now I am living with 3 dogs and 4 things they call cats. Typically I just sniff them, but when they get rowdy and are playing I get interested, but a firm “NO” and I will let them play.

I need a yard with a high fence, a 4’ fence is just too easy to climb over, but my human has also told me “NO” and I am trying to listen. I did not go far when I did go over and when approached with a leash I did not run, pretty good I think since I only have known them for 2 days.

I love it when my human has a leash in their hand and get excited when they put it on. I pull a little, but when corrected I will try to walk by the human. I might like to run, but my human right now is not into that.

I heard talk of a Dog Park and if I go I will let you know how that goes. Oh, one more thing, I know Sit and will be at your feet whenever you need me, or just whenever, where ever you are….

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.
