Description:
Look at this gorgeous boy!

Dirk is an 85 pound, purebred german shepherd male, 5 years old.  He is an all around friendly, out-going, people-oriented dog.  So far, he has not met a person that he didn't like!  He greets with a tail wag, a big lick, and sometimes even a hug!  Dirk has grown up with older children, but we have found him to be great with kids of all ages.  He knows basic commands, and listens and learns fast as lightening!  He is housebroken, and very well mannered.

We have been told by his former owner that he does well with other dogs, but we have not yet had the chance to introduce him to many ourselves.  He has lived the past couple years with a younger female GSD.  We find that he can be somewhat dominant and pushy, as he wants all the attention for himself.

If you'd like to meet this great guy, please fill out an adoption application by clicking on the correct link.

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.
