Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, I'm Roxy, a 4 year old Sheltie mix. I came into the care of the Animal Rescue Project because my owner has cancer and can no longer take care of me. I am slow to warm up at first, but once I’m comfortable, I want to be petted and pampered. I am making new doggy friends here at the rescue enter. I like to go for walks and car rides, relax in the sun, and most of all, I love to be with people. I am already housebroken and leash trained. I am nervous around small children due to my limited exposure to them - a home without children under 10 is preferred. If I could be the girl for you, please fill out an application today!
****My adoption fee is $325.****
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.
Most dogs and older puppies are spayed or neutered before adoption. In the case of puppies not old enough to be safely sterilized, a $25 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.
