Name: Mars
Age: 2
Male
ADOPTED!!
I was saved from a shelter in Puerto Rico and was so happy when I arrived at the airport in Chicago. It was like I had been here forever. I am a sweet, loving, playful guy who is now enjoying the golden life. My past is a secret, but I know that my future is going to be great.
I get along great with other dogs, and I even am ok with cats, unless they put up a good chase, then I will run after them for fun. Kids are wonderful too, but I am a big and little clumsy and might knock the little ones down. Especially if I see something I really want, I don’t care what is in my way. I just get there as fast as I can.
My favorite toy is my Chuck It ball. I carry it around everywhere I go. Sometimes I think it needs a bath, so I drop it in my water bowl for a good rinse, or even on the dishwasher when foster mom is putting dishes in. After all, that is a great way to get her to play with me.
Foster mom says I am an absolutely great dog and the most easy going she has seen. I am stuck to her side at all times and always keep her company. I love attention and will paw you with my big, strong paws for more.
Since I am a young boy, and I don’t know any commands, I will need a family that will take me to training classes so I can learn all of the fun things that dogs get to learn to be great companions. I will melt you with my sweet face and would love to move right in. What do you think?

Most dogs in our care come with unknown pre-rescue history and as such breed and age estimates are an educated guess.
