Kiara

Though she’s still very young, she’s already been through more than most, and it shows in her fearfulness and anxiety. Kiara will need a calm, patient, and experienced home that is fully dedicated to helping her build confidence through consistent training, structure, and gentle reassurance over time. This will not be an easy puppy journey, and she is not suited for a busy household, frequent visitors, or a home with children.

We will try our best to get them updated online as soon as possible.<br/><br/>All dogs and puppies are given a general check-up when they enter our program. <br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.
