🐾 Meet Mars – The Big, Happy Boy with a Whole Lot of Love 🐾 📅 Age: Adult 🐶 Breed: Mixed Breed ⚖️ Weight: ~40 lbs 💉 Status: Ready for Adoption
Mars is a sweet, enthusiastic boy who lives life at full speed and loves every minute of it. In his kennel, he’s calm and well-mannered with all four paws on the floor, though his excitement sometimes gets the best of him when people stop by to say hello. He’s easy to leash and eager to get going—ready for whatever adventure comes next.
Once outside, Mars shows off his affectionate, fun-loving personality. He sits nicely for treats and photos, but he also has a habit of expressing love with happy body slams—this guy sometimes forgets just how strong and solid he is. When it’s time to head back inside, Mars goes back to his kennel easily and without issue.
