Description:

Meet Irving!

He was found as a stray and his humans never came to claim him. We are guessing he was chasing a squirrel or rabbit when he was busted by animal control and brought to jail.

Irving LOVES to play ball and chase all kinds of things, including cats, so we are asking for a home with no cats please. He will also need a fenced yard so he has lots of room to play and grow. He thinks he is still a small puppy so he will jump on you when he gets excited which means he may knock over small children by accident because he doesn't realize he's such a big boy!

A little obedience, love and attention and this boy will grow to be the loving and loyal companion we all admire about German Shepherds.

Do you have room in your heart for Irving?

UPDATE FROM IRVING'S ADOPTIVE HOME, JULY 26TH, 2011:

Everyone is doing well, we changed Irving's
name to Chase.  He is a very good boy and loves his sister and his home. 
I have attached some pictures of them together.  The two of them are lost
without each other, they share everything from their beds( they have to be
touching when they are laying down), food, and toys.  He is now 95 lbs and
in great shape.  NO signs of lymes' disease and is very healthy.

*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.
