Story
Meet Abominable Snowman, or just Snow, for short, our lovable, long-legged goofball! At 12 weeks old, this Great Dane mix is a hilarious bundle of enthusiasm with paws that seem about three sizes too big for his body. He’s currently mastering the fine art of figuring out where all four feet belong, which means he’s delightfully gangly and always ready to make you laugh. Snow is not just a fan of treats and walks; he’s a fan of life, and he’s prepared to bring his goofy charm and giant puppy paws into your heart and home. Adoption Day: December 20th at PetSmart Tysons Corner from 10:00–11:00 AM, an approved adopter must be present to adopt. Some pups may be part of the public event—check our Facebook page closer to the date to see if this pup will be attending the extra fun! ##2595206##

Story
Meet Kane – A Happy, Wiggly Boy with a Heart Full of JoyKane is a goofy, sweet, and endlessly happy pup who tackles life with tail wags and pure enthusiasm. He may walk a little differently, but don’t tell him that—he’s too busy running, playing, and soaking up affection to notice! His wobbly stride just adds to his charm and never slows him down.Kane is social, full of life, and always ready for his next adventure or cuddle. He seems to be house-trained, and with a bit of routine and TLC, he’s been doing great with more frequent walks. Shelter life isn’t ideal for Kane, and we know he’ll thrive in a home that can give him the space and attention he deserves.If you`re looking for a one-of-a-kind companion who will brighten your days with his goofy grin and joyful spirit, Kane might be your perfect match. Will you give this special boy a chance?

Story
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:   Bogey  (BOG0523OWSMN)Estimated Breed:   Pointer / Great Dane MIXApproximate Age:   8 yearsApproximate Weight:  94 lbsCurrently Living at:   BoardingAdoption Fee:   $400DOG'S DESCRIPTION:  Bogie was adopted from us as a puppy. His owner had to move and could not take him with her. He lived a lot of his life in Florida but is now back in the DMV. Bogie can by quite the character! He loves toys and people but would prefer to be your one and only. Meaning, he wants to be your only furry friend. Bogie will keep you lauging with his antics and would love for you to be his forever home. Bogie is very large and would do best with someone who is familiar with his breed or large breeds. Please consider bringing Bogie into your home!     Given his size and energy level, we recommend a home without small children. A nice yard is a must. This will provide him with the space he needs to romp and play to his heart's content. Bogey needs to learn boundaries and personal space with other dogs and he would really benefit from a home that can provide him with training and guidance in socializing with his canine friends.     Bogey's affectionate nature and goofball personality makes him a wonderful potential family member for the right household. It's clear that he just needs someone who understands his needs and breed, and is willing to provide the necessary guidance and training to ensure he thrives in a new home. If someone is willing to give him a chance, they will be rewarded with a loyal and entertaining companion.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! ##1878774##
