Can Mars live with cats? No cats pleaseCan Mars live with dogs? He could possibly live with a calm female dog (pending introductions)Can Mars live with children? He could live with children of 12+Mars has recently arrived to us from Egypt, where he would have been a pet before sadly being abandoned. Mars will be looking for a home, ideally in a semi rural area, with direct access to a garden. We will update his profile when we know him a little better!As there is no culture of rehoming in Egypt, when dogs are abandoned, they are destined to live the rest of their lives in an overcrowded shelter, so when we have space, we bring dogs like Mars to our shelter to give them a chance of finding a forever home.
