My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Skymir!
Your 40-pound bundle of joy, wagging his way into your heart!

Hi there! I’m Skymir — a lively, 1.5-year-old male black Lab mix with a heart full of love and a tail that never quits. I weigh about 40 pounds and carry a perfect mix of sweetness, smarts, and silliness.

My story began in a southern shelter, where I ended up all alone as a puppy. It was a scary time, but a kind-hearted rescuer saw something special in me and gave me a second chance. Now I'm thriving in Michigan (near Coldwater!) and looking for my forever family to share all of life’s adventures.

Here’s what you’ll love about me:

* I’m playful, affectionate, and full of wiggles—especially when I see my foster siblings!
* Give me a good, hard bone and I’m in heaven.
*Squirrel-chasing? Yes, please!
* I’m a smart cookie who learns fast, especially when treats are involved.
* I love cozy mornings in my crate and sunbathing on warm afternoons.

While I can be a little shy at first, I warm up quickly with a gentle touch and kind words. I’m working on my manners (sometimes I get too excited and jump up), but with a little patience and consistency, I’m learning every day.

My dream home?
A fenced-in yard would be perfect for all my zoomies and sniffari adventures! I’d do great with another playful pup or an active family who wants a loyal companion. I'm happiest when I'm with my people or four-legged friends—I'm not a fan of being alone for too long.

If you're looking for a sweet, energetic buddy who will love you endlessly and make every day brighter, I might just be your guy.

Let’s make forever happen — come meet me and fall in love!

I’m fully-vetted, housebroken, crate-trained and ready to join your family with an adoption fee of $300. Questions? Shoot an email to projecthoperescue@gmail.com. Ready to make me a part of your family? Fill out an application by visiting our website at www.projecthoperescue.org.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require that the interested adopter come to meet the dog and then fill out an adoption application. We will review the application and then pass on to the dog's foster family (if applicable). We then contact the potential adopter's vet and we will also do a home visit. If all goes well, the adopter signs our adoption contract stating that, among other things, the dog will receive regular vet care and must be returned to us if things do not work out.

Go meet their pets

Please contact us to set up a date and time to meet our dogs.

More about this rescue

We focus primarily on rescuing senior and special needs dogs in kill facilities. We are located on 30 acres of land in rural southern Michigan. We are a care-for-life facility, so any dog that does not or that we deem cannot be adopted will live with us for the rest of his/her life. Because we rescue the dogs that are not in high demand, it normally takes our dogs longer to find that perfect family. We believe that it takes a special family to adopt our special dogs.
