Kenzie - In Foster

My story

Name: Kenzie Gender: Spayed Female Breed Guess: Lab/Hound Mix Age: 7 months old on 5/23/25 Weight Guess: 50-70 pounds Cats: Yes Children: 14+ Dogs: Yes, Meet and Greet Required Adoption fee: $250 Hi, I’m Kenzie, and I’m a sweet little girl who’s still on the search for my perfect forever home. I may have been expected to grow bigger, but I decided to stay a petite little lady, my long legs and dainty head make me look a bit like a baby deer! I’m about seven months old and love being outside, especially if I can chase my ball around. I walk nicely on a leash, am crate trained, and have been working hard on my potty training. I’m also great with other dogs and cats! I can be pretty shy, especially around men and new places. I need someone patient and gentle who can help me build my confidence. Once I feel safe, I love lounging on the couch and playing fetch. I’d do best in a home without young kids, older, respectful ones are more my speed. I’ve come a long way since arriving from Mississippi at just three months old with no social skills. I’m still figuring things out, but I promise I’m a loving, loyal friend who just needs a little time to bloom. I've been at the ARP since 2/23/25 and am currently in foster. 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.
