Description:
Rupert’s life has been going through some big changes since he moved in with his foster family. He really likes playing with his foster family, and he’s gaining a little more confidence in himself every day. He loves to run around outside and gets along great with all of the other dogs. He discovered that he really likes playing with stuffed animal toys! He collects them, hides them, and even “buries” them under blankets sometimes. It’s really funny to see him sneak around looking to add to his collection. He has also discovered the joy of cuddling, the way any dog should! He snuggles up next to a nice, warm person and relaxes while he gets petted. He is still pretty shy indoors, and it does take a little prompting for him to come and visit, but once he’s found your lap, he will enjoy a nice, long snuggle. After his trip to the Vet, we learned he had tested positive for Lyme disease. He’s doing well and is halfway through his antibiotic treatments toward being cured. He’s been neutered and also has an appointment coming up for a dental treatment, as a couple of his teeth need to be pulled. He has a good appetite and is very good natured and sweet. He loves being outside, whether it’s going on long walks or just playing with other dogs. He runs really fast and truly enjoys the fresh air. He’d love a family with a big yard who enjoy spending time with him. He is quiet, shy, and not noisy or destructive at all. We still haven’t heard him bark a single time, and he doesn’t even chew his toys. The longer he spends with us, the more he comes out of his shell. He isn’t scared of being handled or touched at all, and we’re sure he would really bond with a forever family. 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.
