My story

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

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire at

You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.

Dog's Name:   Tyson  (TYS1225ALAMD)
Estimated Breed:   Boxer mix
Approximate Age:   1 year
Approximate Weight:   50 lbs
Currently Living at:   Boarding
Adoption Fee:   $400


DOG'S DESCRIPTION:    Meet Tyson — Our Resilient, Goofy Boxer Boy!
     At just over a year old, Tyson has already lived a lifetime of highs and lows. He found himself in a shelter in heartbreaking condition — skinny, scared, and unsure of the world. Thankfully, an amazing Alabama rescue stepped in and gave him the second chance he deserved. With love, good food, and proper care, Tyson bounced back beautifully. ‍ Now? This boy is healthy, happy, and ready to love BIG. 
     What we know about Tyson:
    Great with other dogs
      Graduate of nose-work classes (and he absolutely excels at it!)
      He LOVES attending class and using that smart boxer brain
      Sweet, affectionate, goofy, and eager to please
     Despite all his wonderful qualities, Tyson just hasn’t found his match in the South…so he’s heading to Virginia, tail wagging, hoping that his forever family is waiting just around the corner. Tyson is ready for a family who’ll cherish him and give him a home with playmates or adventures. Tyson would love to find someone who appreciates his smarts and silly personality and who is up for plenty of walks, sniffs, and cuddle time.
     If you’ve been dreaming of a loyal, fun-loving companion who overcame the odds with a big boxer smile…Tyson is your boy. Apply today and don't let this one get away!

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.

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!
