Description:
Meet Rooto! Rooto was left outside a rural shelter, when staff found him it was clear he was in pain. X-rays were done and found he had a broken leg! Rooto has since had all the medical care he needed and his leg is totally healed! Rooto's middle name is PLAY! He is a tiny bundle of energy who will require another dog that wants to play or people who are active. He plays non-stop with the resident dog at the fosters' house. He loves toys - especially chew toys - so if the other dog doesn't want to play, he will find a toy. He obviously gets along well with dogs, though he may take a few days to warm up to another male dog.
When outside, Rooto is just as busy. He loves playing chase with dogs and other backyard animals like squirrels and rabbits. He also seems to enjoy a little digging in the yard. A secure fenced yard may be a good idea for Rooto! He is housetrained for the most part. Like many tiny dogs, he needs to get out first thing in the morning or may poo in the house once in a while. He sleeps well at night in his crate. Despite being cute and tiny, he is NOT a snuggle dog because he just can't sit still for that long.
He is a sweet little guy who needs a place where he can play to his heart's content! Please feel free to fill out an ADOPTION APPLICATION by clicking on the button below.

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.
