Description:
Meet Marcus! Marcus was just saved from death. He was in an out of state shelter and his time was up. He is now in Minnesota and has a foster home to care for him while we look for his new FOREVER home. Marcus is a very sweet and friendly boy who did not deserve to be abandoned. Marcus is a smooth coated collie mix and he currently weighs about 55 lbs. but he could stand to put on another 10 to 15 lbs. He gets along well with everyone, including other dogs and is a real joy to have around. Marcus will require a home with a fenced in yard so he can run and play. A NOTE FROM HIS FOSTER: Marcus has had zero accidents, is good with kids. He LOVES to be outside, runs like the wind and loves tennis balls. Marcus adjusts very easily to new surroundings. He loves meeting new people and new dogs. He is sensitive and sweet. A quick learner, Marcus arrived with no previous training, but has already picked up the basics. He walks well on a leash, sits, lays down and is currently working on come and stay. Marcus will sometimes give a warning bark, but as collies go, he is very quiet and mellow. He is a true couch potato and likes to hang out in the same room as his family. 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. Thank You! *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.
