Description:
TJ is no stranger to impound. He had a very irresponsible owner, who constantly let him run loose in the city. The last time he was in impound, his owner told Animal Control that "if it happens again, he's as good as dead, cuz no dumb dog is worth the money." Thankfully, when TJ was impounded this time, they got no response from his owner, and officers dispatched to his residence found it abandoned. Yippee! This time impound was free to help find TJ the new, loving home that he deserved. Here is TJ's description from impound: "He is a very friendly and easy-going boy. He loves people and instantly becomes friends with everyone he meets. He is affectionate and will crawl into your lap if you let him. He's mellow for a lab and loves to soak up any attention that comes his way. Weighing in at 53 pounds he is on the petite side for a male. He does well in the kennel and is not a barker. He walks very well on leash and although he doesn't respond to the "heel" command he seems to naturally stay by my side. He knows "sit" and will "down" for treats. He approaches other dogs in a friendly manner and is willing to engage in play. He was respectful and gentle with our clinic cats. He was very careful when he approached them and moved slowly as if he was trying not to scare them. After sniffing the cats he quickly moved on to greeting a client that was in our lobby. He's a wonderful boy who aims to please. He is begging for the chance to make a GOOD owner very happy."

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.
