Description:
King is a gorgeous young german shepherd, about 18 mo old, whose owner fell on unfortunate times in a very rural area. He has lived all his short life with a lab brother (Jigger Boo, who is also in our rescue program).
The owner was living with elderly friends but was forced to leave, with no place to go. The dogs were left with the elderly couple out of necessity, but the husband then threatened to shoot King and Jigger Boo!

We believe the owner tried to treat King well. He is a friendly boy and gets along with other dogs. While he’s friendly to kids, he probably has a little too much energy for small children so would be better with older children. The woman who temporarily took him in to prevent his being shot says he loves people, is very friendly and LOVES playing!

He does fairly well on a lead and LOVES to go for walks. He is an energetic boy and would love an active household where he can wear off some of that energy

King is housebroken, although you should expect to work with him a bit on that because he had to live outside on a tether for a month when he was rescued from the shotgun!

King is neutered and UTD on his shots.

Please feel free to fill out an Adoption Application on our main website, www.midwestanimalrescue.org, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features.

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.
