If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire athttps://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic.You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.Dog's Name:  Babe Axle (AXL1025K9SMD) Estimated Breed:  Chihuahua / Rat Terrier mixApproximate Age:  DOB 10/10/2025 Approximate Weight:  5 lbsCurrently Living at:  Foster    Adoption Fee:  $500DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Meet Babe Axle! Axle is a darling little pup with a heart full of joy and a lifetime of love to give! He and his sister Baby Annie were born on October 10, 2025, just days after their mama Alternator arrived safely in her foster home. Alternator was rescued by K-9 Lifesavers from an overcrowded shelter in Johnson City, TN, where she had been surrendered along with many other small dogs after their owner could no longer care for them. Momma is a petite 9-lb chihuahua mix, possibly with a splash of rat terrier or miniature pinscher (pictures included). Axle will be ready for adoption on December 5th, when he turns 8 weeks old. This little guy currently weighs about 4.5 lbs and is expected to grow into a small adult dog, likely 12–15 lbs. He’s healthy, social, and absolutely loves being around people. Whether he’s being held, snuggling in a lap, or bouncing around with puppy enthusiasm, he’s happiest when he’s making a human or doggie friend smile. With the perfect mix of playfulness and laid-back sweetness, Axle is well on his way to becoming a devoted little lapdog. At his young age, he is in his prime for training and socialization too.  If you're looking for a small companion with a huge heart, apply today and become the forever home of Axle’s dreams! 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.orgSPONSOR ME! Help Save Lives!    Make a tax-deductible donation today and help save a life. Donations help us offset boarding costs and additional medical treatment for those dogs who need it.  K-9 Lifesavers receives NO federal funding and survive with your generous support! We are all volunteer based organization so every cent from your donation goes directly to the dogs in our care. Visit: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/donate/For more information on K-9 Lifesavers, or to view a complete listing of all our Adoptable Dogs, visit our website at www.k-9lifesavers.org.Please "like" our Facebook page for the most current events and new dogs!Thank you for considering a rescue dog! ##2591867##

Sugar Plum is part of a litter of five precious puppies — Candy Cane, Sugar Plum, Gumdrop, Mistletoe, and Gingerbread. This tiny family found themselves in a very full shelter in Alabama, a place no puppy should ever have to be. Their holiday miracle came early when K-9 Lifesavers rescued them and placed them in warm, loving foster homes. While time in the puppy pile has been adorable, Sugar Plum is now ready to find a forever home of her very own. Could that be with you? Sugar Plum is a Chi/Dachshund mix (best guess), and we expect she will stay on the smaller side. She is your classic puppy — sweet, friendly, curious, and playful. She’s in her prime age for training, bonding, and socialization, making this the perfect time to welcome her into your family.

She is a bit shy at first and tends to bark at strangers who have the audacity to come into her house or yard, but once she has decided you are her human(s) she becomes a devoted little shadow whose favorite place is in your lap.  She is very good with other dogs and fine with cats (she tries to play with both).   She might be a bit too shy and cautious for young children, but older ones are OK.  She is housetrained (to outside and to peepads).  With her nice small size and totally adorable ears, she'll capture your heart in no time. Are you ready to meet your soon-to-be best friend? Apply today and let Alternator brighten your life!Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training.
