Description:

Can you give this boy a second chance?

Broken leg sentenced this sweet boy to death!

Meet Zach,
Zach is a sweet puppy who just arrived from a high kill shelter. Previously this shelter did not work with rescues, but rather euthanized any dog that was not picked up or adopted out.

Zach currently has a broken leg, which is being cared for. He is getting around just fine with his cast. He actually forgets that he has a broken leg. He really is doing very well with his leg. His tail is wagging constantly and he is a happy happy boy. He loves to play and is a very sweet little boy that needs someone to show him how to be a puppy. Can you give him the second chance he deserves?

NOTE FROM ZACH'S RESCUER: Zach was crying anytime his front left leg touched anything. Once I got close to him he just started wagging his tail and hugging up to me and kissing me. I knew I should euthanize him but I couldn't. So I took him to the vet, and had to seek donations for his medical care. I almost got fired for taking care of this puppy.

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.
