Description:
Meet Zakk!

Zakk is a wonderful boy who is in need of a FOREVER home. He is just over 1 year old and weighs in at 50 lbs.

Zakk is very sweet and lovable. He has a lot of energy would benefit from a home with a fenced yard or someone who would exercise him at the level he needs.

Update from Zakk's foster:

Zakk is very playful and does well with the family dog in his foster home. He does not have much experience with kids, and doesn't like cats. He is very energetic and doesn't know his own strength so most likely he would be better around older kids. He also "play nibbles" when he gets excited. He has shown absolutely no food aggression an only minor toy aggression, which we are working on.

He's fully house trained and crate trained. He knows how to sit, stay, down, and shake. He would do best with an active family. He has a blast at the dog park, and is learning how to run along the bike for bike rides

Like many boxers and boxer mixes, he needs someone who will be very authoritative with him or he will run the show. If you're not leading the pack, he will.

Zakk loves car rides and going for walks! He's also a snuggle butt and loves to cuddle! He gets along great with the resident dog. He walks pretty well on leash with and without the Gentle Leader but he still needs some work.

He's a great dog and will make a wonderful addition to the right family.

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.
