Story
Lead guitarist seeking family to complete the band! #gunsandroses - I just want to put on G&R and rock out as we drive down the road with the windows down and the sun shining on our faces. Oh Yeah! After we listen to every song we can start rehearsal. I've been playing all my life, so 4 years now, and decided I want a more consistent and reliable gig. I auditioned some of the other pups in here and found a cute little groupie over in blue pod. She was really cool, the kinda girl you'd let your mother meet. It was a good relationship until she moved into her forever home. Now, it's just me...looking for my forever family and home to rock out, snore loud and love big! Are you my rock-n-roll fantasy?

Story
At this point we've given up on sending Wylie to a boarding and training program. They have been swamped with requests, adoptions are slow for dogs without issues let alone dogs with quirks, which means spots opening in The Pet Connection's program are hard to come by. Wylie is good in our indoor/outdoor kennel environment. We have zero issues with him. In a home environment Wylie can become aggressive. I think the constant human interaction is too much? He likes limited visits with breaks and his own space. He's friends with Sasha (the black Shepherd) but doesn't have to be placed with her. Wylie is about 4 years old now (as of June 2023). He's a tall lean boy. Husky/Shepherd/Malamute? They were breeding for dogs who resembled wolves. He fits that mold for sure. Wylie is good with most dogs at this point. Sasha rules him pretty firmly. He used be more of a bully, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Wylie is part of our socially imperfect program. We made a commitment to him and we will honor that commitment. He needs a monthly sponsor to help cover his monthly preventatives and any other medical issues that come up as well as special treats. Just $50 a month and you can be this boy's sponsor. Send us a message if you are interested. If you want to adopt Wylie we will gladly talk with you and go over his past issues and see if your set up can work for him.

Story
Updated Bio as of June 2023: Jupiter was originally found as a lost pup with her 2 brothers in a corn field during winter. She nearly froze to death, she was so cold she couldn't run/move quickly and people were able to catch her. They were all very thin and had to fight to survive with the coyotes out there. Jupiter is learning to trust humans and will be a happy dog around me but still skittish over touch. With new people she will take time to warm up for sure. Jupiter's adoption fee is sponsored. She is ok with other dogs but initially acts like she's aggressive. It's the survival mode in her. Once she knows they aren't going to hurt her she warms up. She will need to be fed separately from other animals.

Story
Sasha came from a terrible hoarding situation. The lady liked to import German Shepherds from Germany and had a collection of black german shepherds. She wasn't able to care for them and they were neglected in training/socialization. Sasha needs some major training. If you haven't handled a working line German Shepherd she's probably not the one for you. She is intense. She's people friendly, wants to stay with you and stick by your side...but things that move can trigger her chase instinct and she is extremely bossy with dogs she likes and aggressive with dogs she doesn't like. She's never had rules/training. She's sweet with people, which is a blessing for sure. She's gorgeous and if someone spent time working with her she's going to be amazing. Are you the one for her? She's in Richmond, MO. Adoption fee is $200. She's probably 60-70 pounds and 2-3 years old.

Story
Shhhhh don't tell the others...but Hannah is a FAVORITE here at MARQ. She's the perfect age at around 4 yrs, past all the silliness of the teenage phase. She just wants to love her person and be loved back. If that means playing in the yard, cool. If that means relaxing on the couch, cool. She's just perfect!! Hannah LOVES kids, is good with other dogs, and would a perfect addition to almost any family. Midwest Animal ResQ offers a 30-day adjustment period within which you can evaluate the pet's progress and your adoption decision. If, within those 30 days, you determine your recently adopted pet isn't a good fit, you may return the animal and receive a MARQ credit that can be used toward the adoption of another animal. Our biggest priority is finding the very best match for you, and Completing Families one Tail at a Time! All dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, Heartworm tested, and current on vaccinations and preventions prior to adoption.

Story
Have any of you had a bad Valentine's day? I mean, real bad! Well, I got a story to tell you about my WORST and BEST all in one. First, the WORST part. I had my evening all planned and ready to have a great time when out of nowhere this squirrel came darting across in front of me so off I went!! So fun. So so fun. I didn't catch that varmint but if I ever see him again, it's on! To make it worse, I got turned around and couldn't find my way home. The best is that the lady brought me here and I get free food, free room, fresh linens and toys delivered daily, members only play yards and servants that come and follow me around outside to clean up after me. Pretty posh set up but it's missing one thing...a forever family. Interested in meeting to see if we are a match? I'd appreciate it. Thank you.
