Description:
Meet Marco!

Marco just arrived from an animal control facility where he was scheduled to be euthanized. We stepped in and saved him in the nick of time.

Marco is a very sweet and calm boy for a puppy. He actually sat for an hour while the burrs were cut out of his hair. He truly will make a great addition to any family.

Upon his arrival, there was nothing he wanted to do more than play with toys and play with the other dogs. He is a very sweet boy.

Update from Marco's foster:

Marco is an endlessly happy, energetic puppy. His tail wags in enthusiasm so much we thought he'd become airborne. He is learning to walk on a leash & really enjoying learning how to "play ball". We are working on potty training & being a border collie he is very smart and quick to learn. His happiness and playfulness is infectious.

Though Marco loves everyone, & is quick to show you with tons of affection, he does not have an off switch so he would be best for a family with older children as his movement and jumping might bother small children. On a scale of 1-10 his energy level is an 8/9 so if your looking for an REALLY active, fun loving pup who will be a great companion then sweet little Marco is your guy.

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! 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. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

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.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. 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.
