Story
Kanga is all heart. This dog has been by my side for the last 3 years and it pains me to give her up but I need to find a better home for her, because I cant care for her like she deserves. A little history on her, we got Kanga from a rescue in Florida. She had been flown over from Texas and has had surgery done to repair her snout. Before us, we heard she lived a pretty rough life. A few positives and negatives about her. Positives: She LOVES to cuddle She loves to play ball, ball is life to her She desires love, has a strong dedication to her pack/family She does not bite She is protective Negatives: She will still bark at strangers or other dogs that come near "her" property or family. She can still nip if she gets over-excited/scared/defensive. Although housebroken, she can have submissive urinary episodes (WIP training) She takes time to warm up, as mentioned above she is protective of who she loves She has signs of hip dysplasia after lots of exercise and takes Cosequin

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:   Tex  (TEX1220JNSMN)Estimated Breed:   Cattle Dog MixApproximate Age:  5-6 yearsApproximate Weight:   59 lbs Currently Living at:  BoardingAdoption Fee:  $400DOG'S DESCRIPTION:  Tex is not just your average dog; he's a sweet, affectionate companion eagerly searching for his forever home where he can share his boundless love and energy with a caring family. In his foster home, Tex has been thriving, showcasing his good manners and delightful personality. He's an outgoing pup who adores meeting new people and making furry friends. However, Tex prefers to be the sole dog in his household, and he kindly requests a cat-free environment, too! He will also be too much for small children. If there are kids in the home they should be 10 yrs or older.One of Tex's favorite pastimes is going for car rides, his tail wagging with excitement as he embarks on adventures with his beloved humans. Plus, he's mastered the art of crate training, willingly retreating to his cozy den upon command.Although Tex is an active fellow, he's adaptable and could happily reside in an apartment setting as long as he receives ample exercise and mental stimulation. He's hoping to find a home with someone experienced in handling dogs, someone who understands his needs and is ready to embark on this journey with him.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/  .

Olivia's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome her: "Olivia is a very social, active girl who needs 24/7 access to a yard and a home with other dogs.  When I adopted her we (myself and the animal shelter) thought she was a quiet girl who was introverted and didn't need much exercise.  As she has gotten more comfortable and confident it is clear she has A LOT of energy and needs to be around other dogs and activity 24/7.  I have been sending her to daycare 2-3x a week but that is not sufficient and I cannot afford to send her any other days.  I have been in contact with her vet as well as local trainers to no avail." Olivia's guardian offers a brief a medical history:  "She occasionally struggles with incontinence and is currently on Proin."

Olivia's guardian describes her as: Very active Playful Friendly Likes to be touched Affectionate Always at your side Crate-Trained Likes men Likes women Olivia's guardian describes her ideal future home: "- 24/7 access to a fully fenced yard - A large house where she can run and play indoors - Live in a house with other dogs/pets she can play with - Ideally, live with a couple/family.

Story
Hey there! I’m River , a friendly 4-year-old mix of Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) and Husky—coming straight from Chatham, VA. I have this gorgeous blue-black coat and stunning blue eyes  that make me look like I’m ready to conquer the world (or maybe just a tennis ball, but who’s counting?). I’m a Sagittarius , so I’m all about adventure, curiosity, and a little bit of mischief. I weigh in at a lean 45 pounds, and I’m definitely all muscle under this pretty fur. I’ll tell you something about me— As a Cattledog-Husky mix, I have the energy and drive to match, but once I’m done zooming around, I’m pretty chill. I have a bit of a rough-and-tumble streak, though—one time, I had a little tussle with my sister during dinner (don’t worry, we’re both fine, and it was her fault!). Now I have this adorable little droop in the corner of my right eye. It's really no big deal—just sibling rivalry, you know? I’ve been really good about not causing any trouble when it comes to food, but here’s the thing: I’m a “foodie.”  I just love it so much! Although, you know... I'm a dog...so it's kinda our deal, ya know? Anyhoo, just make sure to feed all of the animals in your home separately and there should be no issues! When it comes to people, I can be a little timid at first, but I love to stick close and get all the attention. Sometimes I’ll even sneak off during meal times and wait until everyone’s done before I come back out. I’m super sweet and gentle when it comes to taking treats (I mean, who doesn’t love a snack, right?). I’m really well house-trained , and I get along with other dogs just fine—I even play and share with them like a champ!  I think a home with kids would be fine with me. As long as they give me space and take my cues, we'll get along just dandy. Since I can be a little shy at first, kids with a ton of energy and no real spatial awareness wouldn't be super fun for me. So maybe older kids and/or kids who know how to interact with dogs...that would be the best scenario. I like to spend time with other dogs. My foster mom took me over to her parents' house, and I even did well with their cat! I will say, I am a bit of an acrobat and a sprinter in one medium-sized furry pup body. ‍ I LOVE to climb and jump fences and once I do, just blink your eyes and I'm gone! So my people will definitely have to make sure their home is escape-proof because if not, see ya...wouldn't wanna be ya!! So that’s me in a nutshell: a beautiful, adventurous, sometimes goofy girl who’s a little bit shy, definitely athletic, but most important of all, I'm always ready to love. Looking forward to sharing my journey with you! ##2350984##
