Basenji and Rat Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Coldwater, Michigan

Meet Kari! She has been through alot in her young life. She came into a shelter badly injured and had to have her leg amputated. Despite a sad beginning, she is nothing but a happy girl! She gets around amazingly well on three legs. She absolutely loves to play with other dogs, but is also content to throw her favorite toys around by herself if no one is available. This little 7 month old, 25 lb pup is crate and house trained. Playing with her favorite stuffy, chewing on a bone and digging are her favorite past times. She's a little shy at first, so a fenced yard is required with her adoption. She is spayed, up to date on shots and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $350.00. If you have questions about her, please email us at projecthoperescue@gmail.com. To fill out an adoption application, visit our website at www.projecthoperescue.org.
