My story

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

Name: Pugachu
Breed Guess: Pug
Age: 2 years old
Gender: Male
Weight: 18 pounds
Children: 14+
Cats: Will test upon request
Dogs: Meet and greet Required
Adoption fee: $350

Hi, I'm Pugachu! I came in with a bit of a grumpy reputation, but honestly, I'm not as much of a grump as expected. That said, I'm still working on adjusting to all of these changes, and I'd love a calm and patient home to help me settle in. I may take a little time to warm up, but with some kindness and understanding, I could become your loyal little buddy. Think you're the right match for me? Let's find out!

I've been at the ARP since 3/21/25 and I'm currently at the shelter.

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.

Adoptions are NOT first come, first served! We seek to choose the best fit for the approved adopter and pet.

Please understand that these animals are still new to us and their needs and requirements can change at any time as we learn more about them. We will try our best to get them updated online as soon as possible.

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. All dogs are also microchipped.

Most dogs and older puppies are spayed or neutered before adoption. In the case of puppies not old enough to be safely sterilized, a $50 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.
