Description:

Paxon is a very sweet senior boy who is good with most dogs, has isues with dominant dogs, and cats and loves his people. He offers up kisses and also follows his humans around like most German Shepards do. Paxon has a sad story. He lived most of his life in an outdoor kennel with access to a garage. He was left behind after a forclosure and through social networking ended up rescued by MARS.

Unfortunately, Paxon has "bad hips" which is common in some German Shepherds. Paxons treatment plan includes weight loss, pain management.

Only being inside and on pain medication for the last 2 days he has shown some improvement in his mobility, but still is slow at laying down and gettin up. He would probably do better in a house with out a lot of stairs. He is house trained and very loyal.

Please look into your hearts to give Paxon the loving home he well deserves in his retirement years.

Foster Update:
Paxon is a character. He knows that going down the stairs is not fun and also knows the going out the front door on a leash is a lot more fun. When he is on a leash he want to go for a walk. Granted we are only going on short walks, but he really likes it. You will always find him sleeping at the foot of the bed, and sometimes waiting just inside the door for you to come home. There has been no issues at all with all the cats and dogs, I have even seen him lick the cats. He is a happy boy and really Loves being indoors and having a bed and or couch to lie on....

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.

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.
