Description:
Meet Rusty! No, really, you should meet him. Because the first thing this lovable galoot does is put your heart at ease. His wide forehead and stature might be intimidating, but his quiet, friendly and loyal demeanor is bound to win you over. He is a Tosa-Inu, or Japanese Mastiff, indicated by his eyes, coat, folded neck and spotted tongue. The most noise he generally seems to make is the occasional whimper as you scratch behind his ears, though he will bark if he feels nervous. He is very friendly to other dogs and children, but has not lived around cats. His hobbies involve walks, dog parks and having a place of his own in the house to nap at his leisure, which is often. He lives to be a part of the family, and is willing to reciprocate affection. Just know that if you give him an inch of your lap, he'll move in and claim the whole thing!

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.
