Description:

Meet Rafael!

This dog is simply the best! Here's what his foster mom says you should know about this special guy...

- Greets me at the door with excitement and hugs
- House trained. He always lets me know when he wants to go out.

- Barks to let me know when he wants to come back in the house.

- Loves his walks. Does not like to get his backyard dirty but will when we can't walk.

- Well trained. Comes when called.

- He has the most beautiful eyes, full of love for his best friend (me). :-)

- Not a barker but a good watchdog. Announces arrival of new people and quickly calms down once he knows everyone is safe.

- Not a runner. Happy to stay home to protect his owners.

- Great with other dogs his same size or smaller after a slow introduction. Not good around big, black dogs. There must be a story here but I don't know what it is.

- Not a lap dog. Follows me around and jumps up for a quick hug but then stays close by.

- Loves being brushed which helps minimize shedding.

- Sleeps in his bed next to our bed. Jumps up only when one of us gets up, leaving plenty of room for him.

- Needs that special forever home to make a happy transition.

Almost 6 months ago, Rafael broke his leg and he has been the perfect patient ever since. He is now healed and ready for his forever home. He has quite enjoyed being babied while he was recovering and thinks he rules the roost. Rafael's forever family will need to have a strong leader to establish the rules and to teach him how rewarding it is to be just another one of the 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.

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.
