My story

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

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please download and complete 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: Echo (ECH0424OWSMD)
Estimated Breed: Hound/Shep Mix
Approximate Age: 11 months
Approximate Weight: 45 lbs
Currently Living at: Boarding
Adoption Fee: $400

DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Echo is a sweet, energetic soul who is now on the hunt for a forever home he can call his own. Unfortunately, he was dumped at a local shelter because his owner's fiance would not allow him in the home, despite the fact that he appears to be completely housebroken. Echo is a very friendly fella and he deserves to be treated better than he has been so far. His youthful spirit and affable personality will make him a wonderful companion for most any family. Even with his lively nature, Echo also loves a good cuddle and enjoys quiet time with his humans. He is patiently waiting for a loving home where he will be cherished as one of the family. Submit an application today and give this handsome boy a chance to have the home of his dreams. Echo can't wait to meet you!

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, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.

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.

· 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)

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!
