Hey there friends, I'm a sweet girl named Pita. If you follow the world of Facebook, I was dumped with my sibling and parents at Crosswinds Marsh. My owner moved and left us behind. It's their loss and your gain because I am an AMAZING girl. I love other dogs, I love people, and I have a steady calm energy that could be perfect for almost any home.
I am a foster to adopt pup because I tested positive for heartworm. If you're not familiar with heartworm, fear not the disease is not contagious, meaning that a dog cannot catch the disease from being near an infected dog. Heartworm disease is only spread through the bite of a mosquito. The treatment for Heartworm means that I have to really limit my activity and keep my cool vibes for the next 8 to 12 weeks. If you take me home, FMAR will be with you at every step of my treatment!
If you would like to meet me, please submit an application for me on our website https://www.friendsofmichigan.org/adoptable-dogs. I am spayed, up to date on all age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. My adoption fee is $250, which helps cover the cost of the medical care I have received.
**Each dog is different, so each adoption is different. Our adoption process might require multiple visits to the shelter before our dogs can go home. Or they may be ready on the first visit. It really depends on the individual dog and the potential adopters. Once we receive your application, the Dog Staff will contact you to discuss meeting our dogs.

Additional adoption info
FMAR is an no-kill 501 C 3 tax-exempt all breed dog and cat rescue, and like you, we are concerned about the welfare of the animals and the families that adopt them. We will require paperwork to be filled out and a consultation with the entire family before an animal is adopted. Interaction with any other dogs in your care and everyone living in the household is required. We reserve the right to deny any adoption that we feel is not safe or comfortable for either the animal or potential adopter.
Our adoption costs vary, but all include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate vaccinations, and a negative heartworm (dogs) or negative FIV/FeLV (cats) test.

All of our adoptable animals are housed on site. We are by appointment only and require an application to be on file before coming to adopt our pets. We also take animals to the Westland Petco for meet and greets. Every Saturday, barring holidays, we are open to the public for meet and greets with our adoptable cats and dogs. An application is required after the meet and greet, should you find an animal you'd like to add to your family.

Friends of Michigan Animals Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that began back in April 2003. Our founders bought a 6-arce property to build the shelters and the dog play yards. One small building grew into three over the years. We now have designated places for our adoptable dogs, cats, and our stray dog populations. To assist with the growing feral cat population, we have a TNR program. We also help people in times of need with our pet food bank. We have recently added on a clinic and a store. FMAR is ran on donations from the public and from our yearly fundraisers. Without our generous supporters, we could not do the work we do for the Belleville, Sumpter, Van Buren Twp., and other surrounding areas. We pride ourselves in being a part of our community and giving back wherever we can.
