Description:
Hi, my name is Mac!

Me and my friend Mickey are looking for new homes. We've been living together, but our owner is elderly and not able to care for us any more. Because of that, we've been spending more and more time outside lately. We've mostly only been in to sleep. We'd like more attention that that, so MARS offered to help.

We just arrived in rescue, and are a little scared right now. Fortunately there is a cute little pomeranian girl at our foster home. She is really trying hard to make us feel comfortable (see our pictures below).

We would really like to stay together, but if we do end up in separate homes we would really like to have another canine companion to spend our time with in our new home.
But, most of all, we'd like to have the love and attention a pet deserves. Good food and grooming would be great too!

Hope to meet you soon!
Love, Mac

Update from foster home:

Mac is definitely more reserved than his brother Mickey, however he is really coming out of his shell!  He LOVES attention and will follow his foster mom around the house now.  He is wagging his tail all the time and LOVES treats.   Now that he is on a schedule and let outside on a regular basis... there have been no accidents in the house!  He is very smart and a quick learner.  He definitely loves his brother Mac and gets along great with other dogs, but he would do fine in a home by himself as long as his new owner will spend time with him and give him affection.  He seems to just soak it up!

A fenced yard is recommended for Mac at this time.

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.
