Description:

Dear sweet Diego is stuck in jail and he is terribly scared. He is a favorite among the shelter staff so they contacted MARS pleading for us save him. He was down to his last hour when they called. How could we say no to that sad face?

Now good ole Diego is on his way to MN. There's one problem though, he needs a foster home to care for him when he arrives. Can you help Diego?

UPDATE FROM DIEGO'S ADOPTIVE HOME, AUGUST 23RD, 2011:

We have been having such an amazing experience with Diego -- he is exactly
the right dog for our family, and we regularly say how incredibly lucky we
were to find him. In fact, our extended family & friends all say the same
thing. Diego is making my parents think they may need to get a dog again,
sooner than they had anticipated. I'd be happy to write something up to go
on your successes page. We are now looking for a young cat to join our
family, as the last of our 2 old cats has now died -- but the tables have
now turned, as last fall we were seeking a dog that would be good with cats,
now we are seeking a cat that is good with dogs :)

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.
