Story
❗ Current Location: in a foster home in South Korea❗ Meet Lylla :) • She rides so well that if you open the car door she gets in by herself, and she doesn't get car sick at all. If you like traveling she would make a really good buddy! • She loves playing with other dogs, running in the park, cuddles, kisses, sleeping with you, walks, hikes, and delicious food (fruit, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, cheese, meat) and treats! • Personality: She is affectionate, full of energy, loves to have fun, and adapts well to new things. She likes both people and dogs and cats (she'll play with them). She also loves to play in the park or the mountains. When she's excited, she'll purr to show her excitement. She loves to be held - she wants to fall asleep with you in your arms. She's the best dog ever!

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:   Foxy  (FOX0425ALAFS)Estimated Breed:   Dachshund MIXApproximate Age:   2 yearsApproximate Weight:   20 lbsCurrently Living at:   BoardingAdoption Fee:   $400DOG'S DESCRIPTION:   Meet Alabama’s Fastest Sausage:  Foxy!       Somewhere in a sleepy Alabama town, a tiny-legged blur of fur was spotted zooming across the shelter yard. Was it a squirrel? A tumbleweed? No, friends—it was Foxy, the dachshund mix with the heart of a lion and the legs of a potato. Don’t let the low clearance fool you—this girl can move. She’s crate trained, mostly potty trained, and food motivated (meaning: will do anything for snacks). She doesn’t really understand toys yet, but she’s trying her best and we believe in her. One small step for dog, one wobbly-legged leap for dachshund-kind.     She’s currently perfecting the art of leash walking, stair climbing, and professional-level cuddling. She has a best friend named Roger, with whom she plots zoomie missions and snack heists. She’s also got some solid opinions—if something looks weird or suspicious, she’ll tell you, loudly, but only for a moment. Then it’s back to being adorable.     If you’re looking for a lovable, low-riding comedian who will keep you on your toes (or at least your couch), Foxy might just be your soulmate. Fill out an application today and adopt Foxy before she outruns us all!  Foxy would do best in a home with a fenced yard and a larger dog to play with.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.

Story
Meet TINA! This adorable, sweetheart just took her freedom ride! Look at that smiling face with the expressive eyes, long low-rider body, and white booties on turned out front paws! Tina is about 2 years old, 35 pound, tan with white chest and booties dachshund/basset mix. Tina is friendly, confident and playful, but she also loves to settle down to hang out with her humans, especially if its in a fluffy bed! She likes to meet people. If you are looking for a very sweet, happy dog, Tina may be the one for you! Her foster reports that "Tina is a wonderful dog and has settled in very quickly. She would like a doggie playmate at home, but also is fine on her own." Tina found herself through no fault of her own in a rural North Carolina shelter. Poor Tina did not understand why no one came to get her and she had lost the comforts of a home. The shelter was overcapacity and even though she is so sweet and a favorite, she was in danger; a great local rescue pulled her to safety and a fantastic PetConnect volunteer offered to foster so Tina could come to the DC area to find her new home that will adore her furever. Tina loves her food, likes to cuddle, and would be a great companion. She enjoys the creature comforts in her home, and has great house manners. She is eager to find her special person to love and curl up with on a warm summer evening! ***Please note that the first step is to fill out an application (It does not commit you in anyway but allows us to discuss with you if you and the dog are a good fit). In addition, an important step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies ) , spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Tina will be spayed and up-to-date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. PetConnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and the general appearance of the animal at the time they enter our system. For more information, please email Robin at kinstondogs@verizon.net **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**

Story
Stella is such a cutie patootie!  Stella is a doxie-papillon mix around 10 years old and 12 long doxie pounds. Sadly, she was surrendered to a rural shelter by her senior owner before coming to OBG.  Sweet Stella's life has been turned upside down and she is understandably a little confused and would love to have a foster home to settle into now.  Stella is up to date on all her vaccines, microchipped, dental and had four growths removed.  Although all four are low grade type of cancer, all have clear margins.  Our goal is to get our girl into a foster home so we can learn more about her.  She would love to warm up your lap! To learn more, please email fosters@cockerspanielrescue.com.  She is located at our vet's office in Alexandria, VA and can't wait to make her great escape into a foster (or forever) home.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 23, 2025, 9:33 pm
