(More information here: http://www.midwestanimalrescue.org/info/events)

I am looking for my new family, can you show me the way?

MEET DECKER!!!

This Gorgeous boy who came to Minnesota the weekend of the 18^th of July. He was either a stray or dumped, either way, he has spent way too much time caged. He walks well on a leash, but only a few steps then turns around, so he has spent most of his time walking a cage. Poor Boy! They think he is about 18 months.

He was going to be euthanized, because he gobbled up his food so fast, to make sure no one took it away. Can you believe it?? Therefore, he did not meet the requirements of the shelter on food, and they said they could not put him on the adoption floor. Rescue is his last hope. If we can't get him out, his young life will be done.

He raises 1 ear but not the other when he looks at you as much to a say, please won't you help me???

Won't you be the one to help spring him from his life in a cage?

He loves people and is good with other dogs. He has been cat tested and does just fine with them. He does like to play a game of chase with the kitties but will not hurt them, just wants to play. He also loves to snuggle and just get all the love he can get. He likes to ride in the car, but only if he can ride with his head on your shoulder.

Please help us help him find a great home, where he can have a yard to play in, a soft pillow to lay his head and a family to call his own.

Decker also must go to a home with at least one other dog, or a small pack of dogs, because he needs the companionship during the day when you are gone. But he needs another dog also because he loves to play with other dogs, and would love to live with a buddy.

Decker has a foster home when he arrived so we need to find his forever home now. He is fully vetted, neutered and up to date on all shots.

Please feel free to fill out an ADOPTION APPLICATION on our main website, www.midwestanimalrescue.org, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features.

*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.
