...do we have to say goodbye? We are at a loss as to how to help these babies who desperately need a new start. We have over 200 hundred fosters in our active database and somehow no one seems to want or be able to foster these 7 dogs. We totally understand that COVID & 2020 messed with everyone's lives and now that things are getting back to a new norm people are wanting to get out and about. The problem is that these babies want to be a part of the new normal too..... We are grateful for the fosters who have taken a dog, and offered to take extra dogs to help save lives, unfortunately, these dogs don’t have a safe place right now. We cannot save dogs without fosters. We cannot save lives with nowhere to go. We have 7 dogs who arrive tomorrow and have nowhere to go. We can't house them on site, as we are not a kennel facility, So now, we are facing having to tell these 7 dogs they can't come and we cannot offer them a second chance at life, thus leaving them still at risk. Please share, encourage people to foster, sponsor and help us! Apply to save a life here: https://www.midwestanimalrescue.org/animals/browse?special=NeedsFoster Can’t foster? Share this post!

Good afternoon MARS Community... We have a beautiful story we would like to share with you. A gentleman emailed us to let us know his wife, the love of his life, died in his arms and she had a jar of coins that he wanted to donate to a rescue. He did his research and decided to give her donation jar to MARS because of our financial transparency and he is confident the dogs will get the money. We are so thankful to him for wanting to help MARS animals. His story, however, is so much more. His wife saved his life and now he wants to save an animal's life. He was a musician when he met his wife so we happened to have a dog name Loggins (yes as in Kenny) who was onsite being adopted that day. SOOO, we met with Barry, listened to his story, cried with him and then did this....he met Loggins and that dog took right to him and comforted him, gave lots of kisses for the donation and thanked him for being his new friend. This is what rescue is. This is why we all spend sleepless nights, cry when things don't work out for the animals we so passionately care for. This man's story was heartbreaking to say the least and everything about it was sad, but through it all he was positive, upbeat, full of love and light when he talked about his angel of a wife. He hugged Loggins and gave him lots of kisses. It was the most beautiful site I have had the pleasure of seeing in a long time. Thank you Barry for coming to meet with us, for the generous donation of $230.89 from the heart of a woman who gave everything to everyone else. She wanted to do nothing but help people and animals.. You honor her! https://www.instagram.com/p/CRUaAFrJLC3/?utm_medium=tumblr

MARS Community, today we pause and remember those who have served, both human and canine, to provide us the freedoms we value.

Meet Queen Vita! She is one sweet girl who found a family as a puppy, however, as she grew, she decided she wanted to be Queen of her very own kingdom. So with an anchor heavy heart, her two legged parents are honoring her wishes and helping her find just that. A kingdom where the spotlight is aaall on her! Being Queen comes with lots of responsibility, so she prefers teenage kids in the home to play with and give her lots of pets and scratches. They’re also great to delegate tasks too...hello, she is a Queen after all! Those little two leggeds simply aren’t proficient enough at completing her tasks and putting her things away as they should. When Vita meets new people, she desires a small time period where she reserves judgement of whether you are worthy of her attention or not, but once you are her people and gain her royal trust, she will care for you and make you a part of her kingdom forever...even if you have a kingdom of your own! Queen Vita prefers to keep her castle clean and only uses the outdoor privvy. Outdoor walks you ask? She follows the decorum that any queen should and walks well. She is a strong leader of her kingdom and requests that when her match be found, they be as strong of a leader as she. Together, you will make memories to last a lifetime! May her Royal Highness join you in your kingdom and you two can rule the roost together? If so, please fill out an application by clicking the link in bio! https://www.instagram.com/p/CNK63AeHvR1/?igshid=1qzum87mbs2y8

Dog Parenting 411! Did you adopt a Covid buddy and with the beautiful spring weather you're scratching your head wondering "Now what?" Do you love your best friend but don't have a clue what Fido is trying to tell you? No worries, we gotcha! MARS has thrown out the book and adapted our classes for some post-quarantine help! No more big 8 week commitment and expensive classes! We've adapted our Dog Parenting 411 to a 4 week session for only $60! We'll teach you the basics of how to read your dog's body language, help you understand what your dog wants so you can read and speak dog. While you're busy learning doggo language, your dog will be hard at it, learning sit, focus, what's this, recall, touch, leave it, stay and down.

Drysor says a HUGE thank you to his MARS Community for your outpour of love, support and donations to help cover medical expenses! He's currently working on healing from a painful surgery and has some unusual blood values we need to figure out with our vet, but he's doing well and wanted to say "Thank you MARS Community!" ❤ paypal.me/midwestanimalrescue www.givemn.org/organization/mars PO Box 290073 Minneapolis, MN 55429 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKegYimFFFW/?igshid=keji2eg7lnqe

From Trash to Treasure, this is Drysor’s story <3 Two nights ago MARS got a call that a puppy needed help...his previous owner couldn’t care for him so he’s a MARS puppy now. ‘Cause, you know, that’s what we do, right? This puppy *needs* your help MARS Community. Drysor needs cheerleaders, prayers, good thoughts and vibe warriors, support and donations. We were told that he was hit by a car and needed urgent eye surgery. Today we learned more and are truly heartbroken wanting desperately to fight for this little buddy! Here’s what we learned (from his vet notes): “Last night O (owner) took chase for a walk when he was struck by a car. O reported he was bleeding from an unknown source and was unresponsive so O assumed him head and left him in a trash can. This morning O went back to the trash can to retrieve (puppy) for burrial and found him alive.” Good news though? He is ALIVE!!!!! He’s had a full exam, testing and had surgery. Not only did this little guy survive being hit by a car, being in an apartment building trash bin overnight in the frigid cold MN Winter, but he also survived surgery. After everything he’s been through in the last couple of days, he’s a survivor that only lost an eye through all of this. He’s a permanent winky face now! Ready to keep fighting, heal and then find his MARS Road Home. (He’s not eligible for adoption at the moment.) So MARS Community, we often don’t hear these kind of stories here in MN, but they’re real. They happen. This is rescue. Please, please, please do anything you can to help. Whether it’s donating to help cover his medical bill, sharing his story with your friends and family, volunteering your time, etc. We love and appreciate you and are grateful that together we have the opportunity to be there for dogs like Drysor. ANY WAY YOU CAN - get involved. Make a difference. Drysor is just one story. One life. Together, we save. Together, we do great things. Together, we give Drysor a chance. <3 paypal.me/midwestanimalrescue www.givemn.org/organization/mars PO Box 290073 Minneapolis, MN 55429 https://www.instagram.com/p/CKW9hbBlbBb/?igshid=1nsacs0xbxj92

Can we all just agree that #2020 has been RUFF?? Where each day feels like a year!! But wow, oh wow! What can happen when a whole bunch of people, each facing their own #2020, band together for the mission of saving pets and their people - We accomplish AMAZING things!!!!! The sweet faces you see are our #MARSRoadHome Happy Ever After in October! Emphasis: OCTOBER ALONE! During Covid, YOU helped over 1,300 homeless pets their last names and furever homes, #MARSCommunity! I don't know about you, but THAT is something worth celebrating in this #2020 year. Now - more real talk. #2020 has been financially devastating to a LOT of people. Which means - donations have been down. Which is okay! We wholeheartedly understand and respect your dollar and we don't ask unless it's absolutely necessary or #GTMD2020...which is 8 days away! If you can give $5, $10 or even just a simple share - #MARSCommunity - we love you. We appreciate you. We're with you. #TogetherWeSave ❤️🐾🥰 https://www.givemn.org/organization/Mars paypal.me/midwestanimalrescue PO Box 290073 Minneapolis, MN 55429 (at Midwest Animal Rescue & Services) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHdO22KHbC7/?igshid=cayzzyqnqm2h
