Tito

My story

Name: Tito Breed: Scruffy Terrier Mix Age: 3 years old Gender: Male Weight: 16 pounds Adoption fee: $400 Am I good with: Children: Yes Cats: Will test upon request Dogs: Meet and Greet Required Hi, I'm Tito. I'm the kind of guy who needs a little more time to feel safe, but once I do, you'll see just how much love I've been waiting to give! New places and people can make me nervous at first, but with a little patience (and maybe a few treats!), I'll start to come out of my shell. And when I do? I'm playful, loyal, and full of heart. I've got my quirks, I'm not the biggest fan of grooming, but weirdly enough, I do enjoy a good bath! Once we've built some trust, I might even offer you one of my signature handshakes when I see you. I love long walks where I can sniff everything and take in the world at my own pace. And when the thunder rolls in? I'll want to be right next to you, tucked in close where I feel safe. I'm looking for a calm, patient home that will let me warm up on my own terms, and knce I do, I promise I'll be your best friend! I've been at the ARP since 7/12/25 and I'm currently located at the rescue. 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.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Tito, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
