Meeko - In Foster

My story

Name: Meeko Breed Guess: Shih Tzu mix Age: 6 years old Gender: Neutered Male Weight Guess: 15-20 pounds Adoption fee: $450 Am I good with: Children: Yes Cats: Yes Dogs: Yes, Meet and Greet Required About me: Hello, I'm a very sweet and smart boy. I know how to sit, lay down, up, and I also know how to dance, although I only like to do it on my own terms. If I want something, I'll beg you with my paws. I love to cuddle and be near you. I also like going for walks and being outside, but I need more work on potty training (I am amazing with pee pads if I go inside though). I'm a very quiet dog, but I'll bark when you enter the house or if somebody knocks. I'm so great with other animals - kittens, mean cats, big dogs, little dogs, you name it! I've been at the ARP since 6/15/25 and I'm currently located 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.
