Description:
Hi, my name is Rufus!

Yes, I said Rufus! I know I'm wearing a girly looking sweater in my pictures, but I'm a ruff, tuff, boy dog! I took a really long car ride on one of those days that it was super cold, and since I'm still a little guy, I had to take what I could get when it came to outerwear!

Now I'm settled in to a nice foster home. My furry foster family includes a couple of big American Bulldogs! They're huge! I don't think I'll ever be that big! I also live with a teenage girl. I really like her, and get to snuggle with her and one of the big dogs every night.

I just love everyone I meet, and love to have your attention. If you are ignoring me, I may make a little noise to get your attention. I just want to make sure I'm never forgotten again.....you see I came from one of those "high kill shelters" and was lucky to get out of there in time! But, the past is behind me now, and I'm beginning the search for my forever home. Will it be with you?

I hope to meet you soon!
Love,
Rufus

Please feel free to fill out an Adoption application on our main website, www.midwestanimalrescue.org, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features.

Thank You!

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.
