Description:

*Update* Ruffus is in a temp foster home so he is safe but he REQUIRES a home with a 6ft OR HIGHER privacy fence as he can easily jump a 4-5 ft chain link fence. It isnt safe for him to stay in his temp situation. He LOVES to play ball and really needs an active family/person that also has experience with rotties or dobies.

Ruffus is being surrendered to MARS due to his owner needing surgery. He has had him since he was a pup. He is an awesome dog that is in urgent need of a foster home before April 16th. He is good with dogs and LOVES to go to the dog park. He isn't the best on a leash and could really benefit from some leash training.

He would love an active new family to take him in. He would thrive in training classes and those are free with MARS if you foster him! He is a very smart dog and and loves to work and play hard. He has been around cats before with no issues but it has been a while.

Can you please give this boy a couch tpo crash on for a while? Please dont let him wind up in boarding, he is already losing the only home he knows.

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.
