Kohl is ready to be someone’s special little companion—the kind of pup who wants to be part of your everyday life, whether that means snuggling beside you, keeping you company around the house, or simply being your adorable little shadow. If you’ve been searching for lots of love in a tiny package, look no further! Kohl is hoping to find a family who will cherish her, spoil her, and show her just how wonderful having a forever home can be.  Apply today and give Kohl the forever home she’s been waiting for!  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.org.Sponsor Me!    Make a  tax-deductible donation  today by visiting us at http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/donate/.

Story
Meet Taffy!Taffy is a sweet little lady who has been through more than her fair share, and she's decided it's about time life started treating her like the princess she is!This precious girl was found abandoned on a rural back road, painfully matted, with fur so tangled it covered her eyes. Thankfully, after a much-needed spa day and plenty of love, Taffy is ready for her next chapter, preferably one filled with soft beds, tasty treats, and humans who adore her.Taffy is a gentle, low-energy girl who enjoys leisurely walks, sniffing around the yard, and spending time with her favorite people. She gets along beautifully with the small dogs and cats in her foster home and has a hilarious habit of pushing her big donut bed around until it's arranged *just right*. A girl knows what she likes!Taffy has some medical needs, she had bilateral enucleations that are making her feel so much better. She has a grade 5 heart murmur that currently requires monitoring rather than medication. She also needs a renal diet. Despite being blind and deaf, Taffy is quite the communicator. She rarely barks but will let you know when she's finished outside or needs a potty break. She's making great progress with house-training and does well with regular outings, although potty pads are helpful. She also rides well in the car when safely tucked into a carrier and needs a little help navigating stairs.After being abandoned, Taffy understandably struggled with separation anxiety, but she's become much more secure in her foster home. She'd thrive in a quiet, predictable household where her people are around most of the time and she can enjoy a consistent routine.Taffy has had a hard life, but she hasn't let it stop her from being an incredibly sweet companion. All she wants is a cozy bed, plenty of treats, and a family who will never leave her behind again.Taffy has spent enough time waiting for the good things in life. Could you be the one to give them to her? Apply today!Taffy is approx 12 yrs old and 10 lbs.Fostered in Berkeley Springs, WVPlease apply at MirisHaven.org

Story
Please contact Destiny Sibert (DestinyS@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Sweet Girl Looking for a Forever Home ANNIE MAY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!   Name:   Annie May         Best Guess for Breed:  Maltese mix     Best Guess for Age:   10 months as of Oct. 2026          SEX:  Female   Approximate Weight:  5 lbs   Gets Along With: Other dogs! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters!   Currently Living at: DC area foster home   Special adoption considerations:  Dogs from Puerto Rico have a major transition to go through when they arrive and will need humans who are very committed to socialization. We think this pup would do best with either a resident dog or a family who can make sure they can go on walks regularly with other dogs, visit the dog park, or go to doggie daycare to learn the ropes.    About Annie May:    Meet Annie May, an adorable 9-month-old Maltese who may be tiny at just 5 pounds, but she has a whole lot of love and adventure ahead of her!   Annie May is still very much a puppy and is looking for a family ready to help her continue learning about the world. She’ll benefit from ongoing socialization, positive experiences and plenty of patience as she grows into a confident little companion. She is good with other dogs and would love a family that will include her in their adventures, whether that means neighborhood walks, outings or simply exploring life together. After the fun is over, Annie May will be just as happy soaking up affection and giving lots of love in return. Annie May is spayed, heartworm negative and ready to start her next chapter with a family of her own. If you’re looking for a sweet young pup to grow, explore and make memories with, Annie May may be your perfect match! What My Foster Says About Me:   Annie May needs a foster! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.
