Description:
Hi, my name is Farley!

I lost my family and ended up at the pound. They never came to get me,
so I had to start looking for a new place to live.

All I want is to have a family to take care of me, a yard to play in, some toys, and a soft bed for me to crash in. Not too much to ask for...

I'm a really nice boy. I love to play with you and I also love to cuddle!
I'm very soft and love to be petted - I love to be the center of your
attention. My favorite pastime is just to be near you. I'm also a big fan
of treats and toys! I've been working on my basic commands - sit, stay, &
come. I'm getting pretty good at these!

I hope to meet you soon!

Love, Farley

A note from Farleys foster parents:

We have had the privilege of fostering Farley for a few months now and I can honestly say he is the most affectionate dog I have ever known. Farley loves to be close to his people.. Even when riding in the car he's resting his head on my shoulder.
Farley is very attentive, following us around the house while we prepare dinner, brush our teeth, etc. almost as if he's taking notes.

Farley is also young and HIGH energy. This boy will drive you crazy if he doesn't get quality exercise consistently. During the work week we RUN him 40 blocks three days a week (we live in the city..a nice yard with someone willing to play fetch would suffice as well). During the weekend he is included in every activity possible, be it walking around down town, camping (he has his own backpack he wears for our hiking trips), or driving to the store for a few quick items.

Farley has been very good when he's around children. He needs constant supervision around children who may be knocked over as he is VERY excited to meet new people..I am confident this will calm in the coming year, we have noticed big improvements in his "meet and greet" skills in the time we have known him.

Farley plays well with large and small dogs but has more energy than most so can irritate other dogs into becoming aggressive with him.

If you are able to give him the exercise and affection he needs, Farley will be your friend for life.

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.
