Description:

Meet Mario!

Mario is affectionate, giving kisses and wiggling his hind end for the people he trusts. He loves to be either in a lap or curled up right next to you but is sometimes not a fan of being petted for long amounts of time. His new owner will need to give him time to adjust and get to know them before showering him with love! Because of this and his small size, we do not recommend a home with young children.

He is crate trained & potty trained through a full work day. At his current foster home, he is not crated and does fine. Per the webcam, he typically lies on the back of the couch to monitor the neighborhood or he’s curled up in his dog bed.

If you have varmints in your home or yard and want them gone... look no further! Mario is the best hunter around! He is the QUICKEST dog around!

He rides well in the car, enjoys his walks, and LOVES soft, squeaky toys! He’ll chase them and romp around like a little puppy!

He has a couple canine foster siblings but prefers his people over hanging out with the dogs. He mostly tolerates them but would be fine as an only dog! Check out Mario's new video where he's helping his foster sister go through her agility training!

Will you welcome Mario into your heart and home?

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.
