Description:

Garreth can be a typical playful puppy, rolling around playing with my resident dogs and their toys or trying to play with my cat who wants nothing to do with him. Garreth also has a wonderful loving side. He loves to cuddle next to me or on my lap when he’s all tired out from playing. He will even cry if I have to run outside for something and don’t bring him with, he's definitely a Momma's boy. Playing outside is
also another favorite thing of his. He really likes to chew on wood chips and run around with one in his mouth to get my puppy to chase him. Then in an instant he will lay down in the grass like he is exhausted. He is such a character!

Every where we go, people are always saying what a great puppy he is. He loves kids but usually won’t run and jump on them, unless he’s already wnd up from playing. He will just walk over to them wagging his tail and sit and wait for some attention. For a puppy he really is pretty mellow
compared to most puppies. Just make sure all your prized possession are out of reach because he LOVES to chew on everything!!

As for potty training, it's going very well. He still has an occasional accident but as long as I can get him out every 2 hours he’s pretty good. Garreth is also sleeping through the night now without having to get up to
go potty. When I’m at work, I just put a puppy pad in his
crate and he will use that just once for the time that I’m away. Garreth will make a great addition to any home because he seems to adapt very well to different situations.

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.
