Description:
Meet Ice! Ice came to us from a rural puppy mill where he was likely crated 24 hours a day and never lived as a normal pet in a home, with the love and attention a pet deserves. Ice does have a genetically deformed front leg that he was born with. He does not use it or bear weight on it, but he is able to go for walks and get around just fine. Update from foster home: Ice, or Amigo as we've come to call him, is doing well. He's still somewhat submissive but not nearly as much as when he first arrived. He's definitely a momma's boy although he likes the kids a lot, too. He follows me around loves to cuddle. He was a little nervous around his foster dad for a few days but now that seems better, too. We've been having him sleep in his crate at night and he seems fine with that. In fact, he's quiet all night and is fine with a later wake up time! He's walking around great and does stairs well, too, although he hasn't tried any long staircases yet. He is getting better about walking on the leash. We're still working on housetraining. It's coming but we're not quite there yet. He has not done any toileting in his crate, which is awesome. I think he's beginning to realize the crate is his safe zone and that he gets to come out of it, as opposed to being in it all day and night. I feel like he's finally feeling like he can relax a little. He LOVES to have his tummy rubbed and to be scratched behind the ears and on the nose.
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.
