My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

IIf you are interested in adopting this dog,  please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire at  https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic
You can learn about the adoption process  by visiting:  http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.  

Dog's Name:   Violet (VIO0921CHEFD)
Estimated Breed :   Labrador Retriever mix 
Approximate Age:   3 years
Approximate Weight:   40 lbs 
Currently Living at:  Foster
Adoption Fee:  $400


DOG'S DESCRIPTION:   Violet came in a very scared young girl who has had it pretty rough so far. Luckily, K-9 Lifesavers has stepped in to help. She will need someone who is loving and patient and will give her time to build her confidence and trust. Violet will benefit from an adopter that knows how to care for scared rescue dogs. Another confident dog in the household may also be what Violet needs to help her overcome her fears. She is comfortable with other dogs, not so comfortable with people. Her foster has worked with her and she has progressed beyond the shut-down mangy pup in the last picture. But she has some more 'coming out' to do. She will do best with an experienced family living in a single family house with a large fenced yard. Unfortunately, we cannot expect her to thrive in a city environment, she doesn't walk on leash, and she won't potty on leash so having a fenced yard to be able to work on these things is required. Please consider giving sweet Violet a chance at a better life.

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 (at partner vet if not fixed before adoption), 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. 

Foster Program:    Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit  http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/  or email our Foster Coordinator at  foster@k-9lifesavers.org

Additional adoption info

The adoption process is almost always completed within one week of time you submitted your questionnaire (times can vary depending on your location, the dog’s location, and availability). Please, note that we do receive large number of applications for certain litters, and as much as we would like to, we can't always get back to everyone. We appreciate your understanding as all volunteer run organization.

Fill out an adoption questionnaire, found at https://k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt (please note, completion of the Adoption Questionnaire does not guarantee adoption- it is the first step in our adoption process).

· An adoption counselor will call you to review your application.

· The adoption counselor will call your reference, landlord/condo association, and veterinarian (if applicable).

· The entire household should be willing and present for a home visit.

· The adoption counselor will schedule a time for you, your family, and any other pets to meet the dog(s) you've applied for.

Once approved, you will need to finalize your adoption by completing an adoption contract and paying the adoption fee in cash or check. At that time, available medical records will be provided along with a variety of other information.


ADOPTION FEES

· Young Adult Dog (7 months to 7 years) - $400

· Puppy (6 months and younger) - $500

· Heartworm Positive Dog - $450(This fee includes treatment for heartworm)

Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention, monthly flea/tick prevention, and our transport costs. Please note that puppies 6 months and younger K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet or reimburse you for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.

More about this rescue

K-9 Lifesavers is an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 non-profit organization that rescues homeless and abandoned dogs. We save canines that are scheduled for euthanasia from high kill shelters, where there are typically held only for 3-7 days. K-9 Lifesavers also strives to educate the importance of responsible dog ownership, including spay/neuter, training, and pet nutrition.

K-9 Lifesavers relies primarily upon our dedicated foster families since we do not operate a shelter. These homes provide loving, temporary care until our rescues find their forever homes. We are always looking for foster families.

Please visit our website at www.k-9lifesavers.org for additional information about K-9 Lifesavers. The website lists our available dogs, volunteer opportunities, foster information, and various ways to donate.

Please help us rescue more canines waiting for their second chance at life with a forever home! Adopt a rescue, foster, volunteer, or donate!
