Story
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire at  https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/genericYou can learn about the adoption process by visiting:  http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.  Dog's Name:  Katelyn (KAT0726OWSFS) Estimated Breed:  Cairn / Norfolk Terrier mix    Approximate Age:  1.5 year Approximate Weight:  22 LBS Currently Living at:  Foster  Adoption Fee:  $400DOG'S DESCRIPTION:   Meet Katelyn   a sweet little Terrier mix looking for the right forever home.  This adorable young Terrier mix is housetrained, rides beautifully in the car, and absolutely adores other dogs and at 20 pounds makes a great companion for another dog. In fact, Katelyn would thrive in a home with a confident canine companion that she can play with and become her built-in best friend. For Katelyn, having another dog isn't just a bonus—it's a must.   Katelyn is partially deaf, but she doesn't let that slow her down! She adapts wonderfully and responds well with consistency, patience, and visual cues. Because she can't always hear people approaching, Katelyn will need proper introductions when new people come into the home. Giving her a chance to see and greet visitors calmly helps her feel safe and comfortable. Once she knows someone, she's a sweet, loving companion who enjoys being part of the family.  With a little understanding of her hearing impairment and a thoughtful introduction routine, Katelyn will thrive in a stable home that appreciates what a special girl she is.  She will not do well in a city environment because the constant activity can be overwhelming and make her nervous, especially since she has difficulty hearing. Once Katelyn feels safe with her family, she is a happy, affectionate, and devoted companion.  She's doing wonderfully in her foster home with children and has been welcoming to visitors who come into the house after she's had a chance to settle in and feel comfortable.     Katelyn isn't looking for a perfect family—she's simply looking for her family. If your home includes a friendly, confident dog looking for a new best friend, and you're ready to offer patience, understanding, and a sense of security, Katelyn will reward you with unwavering love and loyalty.     Apply today and give Katelyn the forever home she's been dreaming of! 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.orgSponsor Me!    Make a  tax-deductible donation  today by visiting us at http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/donate/  .

Story
BUBBLES REQUIRES A QUIET HOME - NO CITY/APARTMENT LIVING. PREFERABLY A FENCED YARD. Hi, I'm Bubbles, the ultimate people person - I want to be the only pet in your home! If you are looking for a loyal companion who thinks the sun rises and sets on you, Bubbles is your girl! This little 15-pound bundle of affection loves every single human she meets. She is a world-class cuddler who just wants to be by your side, soaking up all the attention you’re willing to give. Her perfect day? Sitting right next to you, happily chewing on a bully stick or tossing around her favorite toys. She is independent enough to entertain herself with her chew bones, but she always wants to do it right next to her favorite person. Bubbles also enjoys long walks (does well on leash except when passing other dogs) and is crate trained. Bubbles is a true terrier with a very high prey drive and significant reactivity toward other animals, especially other dogs. We suspect she may have had some tough experiences in her past that left her feeling insecure, and this reactive behavior is simply part of who she is. Because this is a deep-rooted behavior that needs to be safely managed rather than trained out, Bubbles needs an adopter who understands terrier traits and is comfortable managing her reactivity on walks or in public settings, ensuring she feels safe and secure. Bubbles doesn't need a neighborhood pack—she just needs you. In exchange for a home where she can be the solo queen of the castle, she will give you endless loyalty, entertainment, and unconditional love. Hatton Animal Rescue spends significantly more on each dog than the adoption fee covers; please consider making a tax-deductible donation by visiting us at https://www.hattonanimalrescue.org/sponsor. Donations help us offset vetting, boarding costs, and additional medical treatments for dogs who need it. For more information on Hatton Animal Rescue, visit our website at: hattonanimalrescue.org.

Story
Spot is a very special boy. I adopted him almost a month ago and I have a smaller dog at home that is scared of him due to his size and how he is playing with her so I don’t think he will do well with a dog significantly smaller than him like my yorkiepoo. He is very affectionate, loves to play fetch and play period. They were unsure of his age at the shelter due to him being a stray. I’ve been working with him on leash walking he does well at times then other times he’s pulling. He can be reactive when he sees other dogs walking by crying out to see them. He will bark if the other dog barks at him. He can be redirected with treats. He’s house broken we only had accidents when we first got him. He also gets really excited to meet new people and will jump on them and pee. I hate to rehome him because he’s a sweet boy but for the safety of my other dog I have to. So I would like to find him a new home vs return him to the shelter.
