Description:
HARRY NEEDS A FOSTER HOME!

Meet Harry - a handsome gent with the good manners required of any true Englishman! Harry is an experienced hunter, knows his commands, is house trained and crate trained. He is good with other dogs, but has never been introduced to cats. And boy, does this guy ever love people! He is very social, and so dang cute that he makes friends with everyone.

Harry has one problem - he is a 'resource guarder.' He guards his food, bones, and toys. Because his family now includes small children, no one wants to risk Harry harming them, if they unknowingly decide to grab a toy, or walk too close when he is eating. Harry will let the little ones poke and pull on him, but he gets grouchy when he wants something all to himself!

We are looking for a home with all adults, or children old enough to be able to respect Harry's privacy. We also will be assisting any new adoptive home with behavior techniques to help Harry to overcome his resource guarding. There is a very high success rate in rehabilitating resource guarding, when the correct training techniques are applied.

Please feel free to fill out an Adoption or Foster 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.
