Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Digit is a handsome Maltese born in March of 2009. Digit has lived most of his life in a crate and was used as a breeding dog. Due to this, he hasn't had much time in a home setting. His foster mom also found out recently that he was debarked at some point in his life. He does have a bark, but it is more like a whisper. He does well with dogs, cats, and children of all ages. He is crate trained, but he’ll need help with house training. The fenced in yard at his foster home has definitely helped! He's also a cuddler if you're looking for a cuddle buddy! He's also microchipped. If this sweet boy sounds like a good match for you, please ask about him today!
****His adoption fee is $250.****
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.
