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
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:   Ruby  (RUB1225ALAFD)
Estimated Breed:  Feist / Redbone Coonhound Mix
Approximate Age:   10 months
Approximate Weight:   35 lbs
Currently Living at:   Boarding
Adoption Fee:   $400


DOG'S DESCRIPTION:   If you’re looking for a dog who will love you forever, allow us to introduce Ruby! This beautiful young medium-sized lady may start off a little shy, but give her five minutes (and maybe a treat or two), and she’ll warm up like a sweet cinnamon bun fresh out of the oven.
     Ruby has the perfect medium energy level — she’s always down for a romp in the yard or a good sniffari walk, but she’s equally thrilled to flop next to you afterward and enjoy the simple things in life, like chin scratches, couch time, and contemplating the mysteries of the universe (mostly squirrels). Because Ruby grew up in a rural setting, she's all about peace, quiet, and open spaces. Big city living? Absolutely not. Too many honking cars and suspicious garbage cans for this country girl. She’s happiest with a calmer environment where the pace is slow, the air is fresh, and the background noise is birds—not buses.
     Ruby gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would love a friendly canine buddy to show her the ropes. She’s also incredibly smart, which means training should be a breeze.  If you’re ready to welcome a gentle-hearted, clever, adorable companion into your life—and can offer her the quieter lifestyle she was made for—Ruby may just be your perfect match. Apply today and come meet her -- she'll warm your heart as quickly as she’ll warm your lap!

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!
