Meet Ivy, an 8-year-old Great Pyrenees mix with all the makings of a proper nanny dog! She absolutely adores children and loves being part of their playtime. Her only complaint? When the kids take off without her, she howls to make sure everyone knows she's been left behind!
Ivy gets along well with other dogs, although she needed a little time to warm up to them. She's even done well with the foster's pet skunk (cats are still an unknown)! She hasn't mastered leash walking or house training yet, so she'll need a family willing to help her with those lessons.
This senior girl has spent most of her time outdoors, but we think she'd love a chance to be part of the household. If your family could use a furry nanny who's happiest keeping the kids company, Ivy is ready to clock in.
Ivy is currently undergoing slow-kill treatment for heartworm disease. The Artemis Project will continue to provide the necessary monthly medication for treatment until cleared of heartworms.

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:

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!
