Story
Meet Hemi!! Just look at that face – who could say no to that?? Well, Hemi is sincerely hoping you can’t pass him by because he is anxiously waiting for life with his forever family! He is the sweetest bulldog mix you’ll ever meet! He has an estimated birthdate of 2/13/24– a super great age having outgrown the ‘puppy’ phase but with many years of love and snuggles left to give you. He weighs in at about 55 pounds. Bottom line... this guy is the full package. Strong, loyal, affectionate and the kind of dog who makes you feel like you’re his whole world once you’re in it. Hemi is heartworm negative, up to date on his vaccines and preventatives, and neutered. He just needs a loving and responsible human to call his own so he can shower them with love, affection, and loyalty. All Hemi needs is for YOU to give him a chance to win your heart and become your best friend forever! Please submit an application to meet/adopt him @ https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TAP/Dog Adoption fee: $100 Located in the Fort Smith AR region

Story
Currently this sweet baby is with our rescue, The Artemis Project, in Arkansas. We DO, however, transport monthly to the metro Detroit area of MI. Because we’re able to transport, we ARE able to accept adoption applications directly from residents of MI. Why do we transport? Because animal overpopulation is severe in our region, and stray and unwanted dogs have very little chance of finding a home here. These babies are, however, at a high risk of being neglected, abused, abandoned, euthanized or even shot (it’s “the way things are done” for some people down here). YOU are truly one of the only safe and happy endings for the lucky ones we are able to rescue. Upon approval of your adoption application, we will then transport your new furbaby to you in the metro Detroit area for just a small travel expense fee of $50 in addition to the adoption fee. MICHIGAN RESIDENTS—>PLEASE CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO FILL OUT THE ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://new.shelterluv.com/form/other/TAP/2450-michigan-adoption Before we can change your new furbaby’s status from "adoptable" to "adoption pending," the $50 transport fee must be paid to secure the adoption. At that time, we will stop accepting applications. The entire adoption fee must be paid prior to the transport in order to ensure your new baby has a spot on the transport. Thank you SO MUCH for giving a homeless Arkansas pup a chance at a real life with a family of their very own!
