Meet Hardy!


Howdy folks!


The name is Hardy, and I am one of the stars from the KSTP Channel 5 News report that was done on 4/24 on the puppy mill I came from! In my pack, I did AWESOME with the other dogs and people! I am SO strong and have not gotten any training yet so will you be my obedience guide and teach me some manners? I was lucky enough to escape the conditions of a puppy mill, and would love my second chance to be in your loving home! So go ahead, and apply! See you soon!


Find out how rewarding it can be to teach this poor boy how to love and be loved.

An Update From His Foster:

Hardy is full of energy. He's a lot of dog in a small package. He's doing great with housetraining (no accidents for several days!). He's working on becoming crate trained. He is attending puppy classes and is at the head of the class. He knows Sit, Lay Down, Up, Drop it, and Roll Over. We're still working on "Off" (i.e. off the furniture). He's very smart, food motivated, and learns quickly. He's also capable of amazing leaps...we've yet to find a baby gate that will contain him. He likes to visit the dog park where he spends most of his time eating sticks and wrestling with his buddy from home. He also enjoys a nice walk, we're working on his pulling issues. He's working on making us walk faster. :) He gets along okay with the cats (he lives with 7 of them), but he would like them to play with him and doesn't really understand why they won't. His current weight is 23lbs.

*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.
