Shiva is still new to us so we don't know a lot about her, but what we do know is that this big old lady is an absolute love bug! She loves butt scratches and makes the funniest groans when you scratch behind her ears. She came in with a very dirty coat with tons of mats and terrible nails. We are currently getting her looks under control to the best of our abilities. She loves going outside and sunbathing for as long as she can. She definitely has some energy left in her and loves to run around the yard with you for a few minutes, then it's back to naps. If this girl could be the one for you, please fill out an application today.

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

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.

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.
