DOG'S DESCRIPTION

This cutie is a bit shy at first, but he comes around after a bit of time to relax and get to know new people and places. He does enjoy human attention and will seek it out. He was not given Heartworm (HW) preventative and is now heartworm positive. K-9 Lifesavers will cover the cost of treatment if you can provide the ride to treatment at England Run Vet Clinic and the home with love and pampering during recovery. He is dog friendly, human friendly, but not sure about cats.

Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.           

Adoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (for dogs over 6 months old), rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention (while the animal is in our care), and transport costs from high-kill shelter. Please note that on average, K-9 Lifesavers spend significantly more on each dog than their adoption fee. Adoption fee for HW positive dog also covers heartworm treatment at our partner vets.
