Description:

Meet Rufus!

   He was stuck in the pound and no one came to claim him.  He's a friendly goofball. He hasn't met a person yet that he considers a stranger. He approaches everyone without hesitation and is always eager to make friends. He will sit for treats but doesn't seem to have had much training in the other departments.

   He was good with every other dog we introduced him to. He didn't seem to mind when a female was trying to boss him around and he was willing to play with a young playful male. When we introduced him to the clinic cats he was curious and fairly calm. He gave them a few gentle kisses and moved on to the next thing.

   Please give this big, handsome boy a chance! He will not let you forgoet you saved his life! You will be forever rewarded with kisses!

You can see him doing his Happy Dance in his video below...he had just been rescued form the pound! He was so excited to be outside in the grass!! He also has a lucky white heart stamped on his backside!

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.
