Greta and her siblings came from a bad situation. This has caused some health issues that have been treated and are on the mend. They were raised outside so they will need help on housebreaking and they do not tolerate crates very well due to their past. Greta is still in need of muscle tone and therapy to help her legs get stronger. She currently has an unsteady gait making her wobble. This does not stop her from trying anything! She still runs, plays and walks with great enthusiasm! She has such an amazing spirit and gentle, loving personality. She will do best in a home with someone who is familiar with a dog who has special needs. Please come in to meet this gal - you will not regret it! If you're interested in adopting her, please fill out an application today!

The Animal Rescue Project (www.animalrescueproject.org) is committed to the best possible veterinary care for the pets it rescues and it is looking for adopters who will be similarly committed.

Adoptions are NOT first come, first served! We seek to choose the best fit for the approved adopter and pet.

Please understand that these animals are still new to us and their needs and requirements can change at any time as we learn more about them. We will try our best to get them updated online as soon as possible.

All dogs and puppies are given a general check-up when they enter our program. They receive medication to remove any intestinal parasites (worms), fleas, and ticks they may have. Dogs greater than six months of age are checked for heartworm. If heartworm positive, the Animal Rescue Project treats the disease. Dogs and pups receive all age-appropriate vaccinations for distemper, and dogs greater than four months of age are also vaccinated for rabies, in compliance with State of Michigan laws. All dogs are also microchipped.

Most dogs and older puppies are spayed or neutered before adoption. In the case of puppies not old enough to be safely sterilized, a $50 deposit is required at the time of adoption and is refunded to the adopter with proof of sterilization.

The Animal Rescue Project requires every adopter to establish an active relationship with a veterinarian no later than 10 days after adoption. Adopters will receive a plan for routine veterinary care at the time of adoption and are expected to work with their vet to complete the plan.
