My name is Beta!

HI, my name is Beta (aka Bear or Buddy). I like going for walks, my foster mom says I’m really good on a leash but I can get distracted by woodland creatures and other humans so she’s trying to help me with that. Even though I’m not a puppy, I do like to play sometimes. My favorite is a bouncy ball or when my fosters throw a toy in the air, I love to jump up and grab it. My fosters work from home so I have someone with me all day. I never have accidents in the house, I’m taken outside about every 4 hours for a walk (we don’t have a fenced yard). I like to sleep in bed with my foster mom, and have the run of the house when they’re out. I do not chew on anything that isn’t mine, I don’t eat out of the garbage or tables/counters. I know basic commands like sit, shake and lay down.

So my foster mom says I’m really chill most of the time, there are times where I get a bit riled up. I get really anxious around strangers, I’m not sure what to do so I bark because I’m a big dog with a big bark. I’m better with slow introductions to new people. Its actually best if you just ignore me at first, then I will come to you when I’m ready. I also get a bit riled up when I see people outside. I’m just trying to protect my foster family from strangers, but they are working with me on my barking and jumping/scratching on the windows. I do better with positive reinforcement (my favorites are ‘good boy treats’ when I do good with something we’ve been working on). I like that better than yelling, that scares me. Even though it may take me a bit longer to get comfortable in a new house, once I’m comfortable I’ll be your best friend! I love to cuddle and binge watch TV with my fosters.

*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!

*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.
