Hi! My name is Dexter and I need a new forever home. My current person's heart is bigger than her house and she knows it's not fair to me to have this many fur-friends in such a small place.

I don't need much room, because I'm a little guy, but I do have a BIG personality! I like racing through the house chasing anything that will let me. I also love to chew on rawhides and cuddle under blankets or whatever is handy. I also love to sleep under the covers at night!

I'm not what my person calls a "yapper dog". I only bark at people that come around the house -when I bother to pay attention! Once people come in the house, I have nothing but love for them.

I currently live with a 95 pounds and several feline sisters who I get along great with! In fact, my sister Abby is available for adoption too and she thinks I'm the "cat's meow". If you're looking for a cat too... please check her out!

I have been around kids as young as four. They are fun to play with because they are little like me and easier to reach to give kisses!

I am a good boy, so being crated isn't necessary. I don't like being left alone, but who does?! I am pee-pad trained for cold weather and do my business outside when the weather is nice.

I know I'll make a great addition to any family!

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.
