Description:
Hi, my name is Patches!

I'm sure you can tell how I got my name! I look a bit like a pirate dog, with a patch over one eye!

I have a sad story to tell you. One day I was living in an apartment, and noticed my family was packing. When they got all done packing, they put me on a leash, so I thought we were all moving. Then they took me out on to the little balcony, and tied my leash to the balcony. That was the last I ever saw of my family.

Fortunately someone rescued me before I got hurt, and took me to the pound. They have really good food here, but I'm not very happy about sleeping on a hard concrete floor.

So, a little about me. I'm an American Staffordshire Terrier mix. I might be mixed with something bigger, because it looks like I'm going to be a pretty big boy. I have huge feet! But, I have an even bigger heart! I just soaked up all the love and attention I could get the day I had visitors and got to get out of my kennel.

I really like playing with toys. I'm settling in to my foster home now. I hope my forever home has some nice toys for me. Can I come live with you? I'd love you forever!

Love,
Patches

*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.
