Description:
Meet Dempsey!

Dempsey was sitting in a cold cell in a HIGH KILL shelter. We desperately needed to get him out of there before his DEADline. He is now here and is safe and waiting to find his new home.

Dempsey has no idea how he ended up in the situation he is in. He just wants someone to love him as much as he will love them. This young boy is very sweet and lovable and would make a great addition to any home.

Note from the foster:

Dempsey has been an absolute joy thus far. (We're calling him Boomer.) He seems to be about 5-6 months old and weighs 24 pounds. He is currently losing his puppy teeth. He loves puppy play, but calms down immediately when he needs to. So far he hasn't gotten in to anything or chewed anything, which is very unusual for a puppy his age. He seems completely potty trained (only two accidents in well over a week), and sits by the door when he wants to go out.

On the second night he was here, we were able to set him up with in a dog bed in our room and he slept quietly all night. More recently, he's decided he'd rather sleep in "the big bed" with us, since our other foster dog sleeps there. But, he lays quietly cuddled up to one of us or our other foster dog, so it hasn't been a problem. So far, Boomer has loved everyone he's met. He's particularly fond of men. Boomer has also figured out how to play with our 47 pound foster dog. They play nicely together with a rope toy or tennis ball. He completely ignores our older 10 pound alpha dog, who gets grumpy on occasion.

Boomer has made significant progress in just a few days with walking on a leash, and knows how to sit. Once he's worn out, he just wants to cuddle on someone's lap. This is the easiest puppy I've ever known! He will be 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.
