Midwest Animal R

escue & Services (MARS) is committed to serving both pet and parent, finding homes for animals that were once lost, left behind and forgotten, while bringing harmony and enhancing education in our community. Midwest Animal Rescue & Services™ (MARS) is a dedicated and passionate group who rescues dogs and cats that are at risk and homeless through no fault of their own. Once in our care, these companion animals are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered. Special attention is provided for those animals that need additional time and medical care before going to a new home. MARS is committed to helping pets in need whenever possible, including all breeds and ages. MARS does not have a shelter facility for boarding. We are a foster-based rescue group that runs on the support and aid of dedicated volunteers and supporters. Our fostered pets live in homes, as family members, receiving all of the love and care they would in an adoptive home, until they are adopted. The adopters gain greater insight into the pets’ behavior and personality versus interacting with an animal who has been living in a kennel and the pet is more prepared for a loving home life. This helps produce the best match possible for the new families, resulting in a 98% success rate! Let us help you find the perfect match! MARS is an IRS recognized 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Transport Tuesday Post!

We've got a new scrappy crew of dogs coming in this Saturday, 11/16, looking for either temporary foster homes, or (preferably!!) forever adoptive homes!

Still Urgent….

*Urgent Foster Needed Friday!*

While we all love our children, even the problem ones, sometimes they drive us a little crazy... these dogs will need a place to go to show them grace for their antics.

Max, Pixie, & Presley need fosters to keep them out of boarding. (Links to bio attached to each photo)

Max is a sweet 10m/o Hound that loves to play. He'd do well in a home with another confident canine companion to play with. Max is a quick learner, learning the basic commands of Sit, Stay, etc. He's currently working with a trainer to learn he doesn't have to protect his possessions, with consistency & guidance he's made great strides.

Finley, before MARS, was a momma, who was still waiting in the shelter after all her pups got adopted. Since coming to MARS she's been enjoying life to just be a dog, receiving love from her humans, and running free in the backyard. Though those long legs of hers come in handy to jump over the pesky 4ft fence... freedom..!!!

Katie has a sensitive soul, yet loving heart. She would need a home to show her patience that change isn't scary. She's a wonderful dog once she comes out of her shell, and gains her confidence. She would benefit from a confident dog in the home to learn from that humans are okay.

Pixie's a 3yr old German Shepherd, currently in boarding, who would benefit from someone to teach to be the great canine citizen she can be! She was surrendered from her adopter who didn't have the time for her due to life things. Pixie's a super smart dog, who with time and training can become an *amazing* dog!

Raza is young, curious, and eager to please. She's a playful dog, who wants to be friends with everybody! She knows her manners, and is housetrained, but doesn't always do perfectly (who does?). She still learning it's okay to be alone, and/or in a crate. She'd do well in a home with another dog to learn from and play with.

Presley, posted earlier this week, still needs a foster home. She loves her time outside, and has wanderlust to go exploring and find new friends. 6ft fences are nothing to her (what are those?), a tie out would be best to keep her from wandering to far. Other than that she's a great dog, she'd be a great adventure buddy for someone!

You can learn more about each dog by clicking the link attached to their photo.

Niclie and Maslin are both MARS dogs who came from 2 different hoarding situations. They've since been happily living together with their adoptive mom the past 3-4 years.

Maslin's (1st photo) a sweetheart who loves her family. She's worked to overcome her fears of people, fans, though rain is still a bit scary! She was able to return the favor when her adoptive mom merely pointed her out to a trespasser, who quickly left after he saw Maslin... She's a wonderful companion, loved by her adoptive mom, and loves her family back.

Niclie (2nd photo) is also a sweetheart loving and enjoying life. He loves his toys... when his mom was sad at one time he grabbed his toys and shared them with her to make her feel better. Maslin will lay her head on Bernie's fuzzy back sometimes to show him her love and trust too. 💕

From Tragedy to Triumph! Kazoo's Adoption Story:

Kazoo's first came to MARS almost 6 years ago after he got ran over by a car...Which resulted in wounds on his head, and a broken pelvis.

Since getting adopted he's been loving farm life, even hunting pheasant! Kazoo's become best friends with his adoptive family's kid.

*Foster Needed ASAP*

Presley's a German Shepherd/Husky Mix, she loves her time outside, with a bit of wanderlust in her soul... She's great with other dogs, and will go looking for the neighborhood "playmates" if she hears them calling... Presley could use some help learning her basic manners like Sit, Stay, Recall, etc.

She'd be a great adventuring buddy going for walks, hikes, or even the dog park. 🐾

*Foster Needed by THIS Saturday, 11/9!*

His whole world's been turn upside down after his previous owner passed away 😢 He's a loyal companion, who loves to cuddle with people! He does well in a home with other dogs, he has good house manners, and doesn't need to be crated. Cats are unknown, and we'd probably hold off on small kids for now, at least while he's figuring his new world out.

BooBoo's now looking for a home to show him his new place in the world. 🐾💕

Saturday afternoon: 3 have confirmed homes, thank you!!! BooBoo is the only one left who needs a place to land. Who can help?? He's good with other dogs!

Saturday - Early Afternoon: Thank you to the outpouring of support! We’re working on connecting with everyone and will update as soon as we can. ❤️

🚨🔊🚨IMMEDIATE NEED! 🚨🔊🚨
A long time community member has requested their 4 foster dogs be moved! This is CODE RED as they would like them moved tomorrow 11/2. These foster dogs have some special stories and they need the right person to help them along their journey next.
*All are good with other dogs & Bowie and Helga are good with cats*.
Please email ([email protected]) or FB/IG message us if you can foster. As always - share, share are!!! ❤️ We can do this!

BooBoo: Remember the Lab breeder we helped, who passed away? This was his beloved terrier sidekick! He loves to cuddle. He is a Rat Terrier, maybe heeler mix and is definitely a loyal companion. He will correct a dog when needed and play when needed, great house manners and doesn’t need to be crated. https://www.midwestanimalrescue.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=20954376

Brodie: Is another one of the Lab saves from the local breeder as well. Knows his basic commands and is a happy energetic guy. He is a year old and just now finding out what it is like to be a puppy and have fun. https://www.midwestanimalrescue.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=20982343

Helga: Is a special girl who needs someone to show her the World isn’t scary. She is a flight risk. She has made great strides but she needs someone who is willing to take the time and patience to help her continue to grow. https://www.midwestanimalrescue.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=19188995

Bowie: Came from a rural shelter in MO months ago but has been waiting for that family to work with him on how to be the best dog he can be. He is learning that when you leave, you come back. He is learning that if you try and get out of your crate, you get a new one, so he is learning that a crate is a good place. He is working on learning that being away from his people isn’t so scary and they will be back. https://www.midwestanimalrescue.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=20678815

Saturday morning: these babies have a foster!! Thank you!! When will they find their forever homes? 🤔🥰

It is 1pm and we have heard no peeps nor seen a lot of shares…. Look at those faces….

Happy Friday Morning! Well it is going into the busy season, holidays approaching, and lots of love, family and friends....Please add a cute puppy to that list if you are able. These two babies need a foster by tomorrow. They don't have to go together, it is just the amazing foster that took all three last Saturday really needs to down size a couple as her resident dog is a bit overwhelmed with three.

So this is where we NEED you! Share if you can't foster, better yet try fostering, you will be glad you did!

It is time MARS Community to get busy!!!
