Story
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 yearsApproximate Weight:   59 lbs Currently Living at: FosterAdoption 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 10yrs 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/  . 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!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! ##1728683##

Story
DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Bertha is an Australian Cattle Dog/English Pointer, is 4.5yo, weighs 60lbs, is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, and is not microchipped.  Bertha knows how to sit upon command, loves car rides and loves playing with other dogs when she calms post-intro. Bertha's guardian explains why he has made the difficult decision to rehome her:   "I took in Bertha after my father passed.  I am now the sole caretaker for my mother and am unable to provide Bertha the attention she needs.  She needs a yard to run around in.  I live in a condo and am unable to provide the best home for her.  She always wants to play with my geriatric Yorkie with a heart murmur which causes him stress. in addition,  I am allergic to bertha.  I really want to find her the best situation possible." Bertha's guardian offers a brief medical history:  "She was once hit by a car, but recovered with no lingering effects." Bertha's guardian states the following regarding children:  Although Bertha hasn't lived with children, her guardian recommends her living with children, stating "She wants to meet them, say hello, and be petted".   Bertha's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Bertha has lives with a dog, so her guardian recommends her living with dogs, stating "She always wants to play with other dogs.  She can be a little aggressive at first, but then warms up to the other dog".  Bertha's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Bertha hasn't lived with or otherwise been around cats, so her guardian doesn't recommend her living with cats. Bertha's guardian describes her as: Very active Playful Friendly Likes to be touched Affectionate Indoor/Outdoor dog (primarily lives indoors) House-Trained Likes men Likes women Separation anxiety Bertha's guardian describes her ideal future home:   "Bertha would benefit from a home with a big fenced yard in the country where she could run around.  Bertha would love a home where she is part of the family and the more attention she gets the better.  She would benefit from a patient companion dog who also likes to play outdoors."

Story
MEET SUGAR! (Descriptor: Sweet) This active and very playful ~1yr old little girl was rescued from an underserved shelter where she was scheduled for humane euthanasia due to overcrowding and absolutely no fault of her own. This harsh reality is unbeknownst to her - she is full of life and adores people and other dogs! We believe her to be a mixed Cattle Dog, due to her appearance and behaviors. At about 40 pounds, she is a medium sized and healthy young pup. Sugar is aptly named because her foster mom describes her as “super sweet”. Her foster family has a farm and sweet Sugar has been savoring a life with her humans, other dogs and farm animals. She doesn’t leave her people and is friendly to strangers. She is house broken and uses a doggie door, so is not being crated while in foster. Instead she sleeps happily on a dog bed. She has excellent recall and is horse and chicken safe. Like some of us, car rides can make her car sick so her foster family have been taking her on short trips to help build up her tolerance.  Sugar absolutely loves other dogs and plays well with both male and female dogs after proper introductions, but her favorites are the playful young dogs. Sugar would make an excellent family or farm dog for an active family; small kids would probably be fine if you understand herding breeds (may “nip” heels). Please no homes that intend to crate all day. Sugar’s adoption donation fee is $425, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for Sugar by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org. Please email us at info@tarashouse.net with any questions.April 27, 2024, 4:11 pm

Story
Kibble was a gift to my sister’s husband around Covid period. They lived with him for about 4 years now since he was a pup but she’s developed a severe allergy to dog hair. So bad that it sent her to the ER on a couple of occasions. He’s a sweet do but I don’t have the bandwidth to care for him the way he deserves. He loves open space and running around. So any home that can provide that for him is a win. Thank you for your time.

** I am currently being housed at our Oglethorpe St location. Come meet me at 71 Oglethorpe St NW, every day between 12pm-7pm. Please arrive no later than 6:30 p.m. to allow ample time to interact with adoptable dogs. Or visit humanerescuealliance.org/how-to-adopt to learn more. Wow, I was really lucky to be rescued by a kind person and now I'm told I'm a great candidate for a loving home. Not only that, but they call me Jolie. I'm told that Jolie means pretty in French, so I take that as a great compliment, and many people have told me it's the perfect name for me. But we all know that pretty is as pretty does and I'm also a very sweet and curious young lady. That means that I could be a great addition to your home and a faithful friend for many years. So, please come to meet me and give me your vote to be the new pal you would like to take home with you.

Introducing our lively and energetic Spirit! She’s a 3 year old Cattle Dog/Beagle mix (guess), 35 lbs, and so sweet. This girl is a bundle of joy, always on the go, and ready for action. With an abundance of playfulness, she’s the perfect partner for games, fetch, and outdoor adventures. Once she gets all her energy out, she chills with her people on the couch!Watch her prance around with that unmistakable spring in her step – she brings an extra dose of cheer wherever she goes. She even does her happy feet dance sometimes! An adventurer at heart, she thrives on exploring and discovering new horizons, making her an ideal companion for the outdoorsy types. She is like a prancing, running deer!You'll be pleased to know that she’s both house and crate trained! What this girl craves most is your affection and attention. She’s a real people-pleaser, and those belly rubs and ear scratches are her absolute favorite! She doesn’t trust people right away and takes time to warm up, but once she does, she is extremely loyal, affectionate, and protective of her people when people come over.She gets along well with kitty friends. She is dominant with other dogs and likes to show them she's boss, but she is completely fine with them after! We've only seen her around submissive dogs. Proper, slow introductions are important with her and other dogs. It is safe to say she may not do well with other dominant dogs. Spirit’s open heart and care-free personality are sure to brighten your days and fill your life with endless joy and excitement.Adopter must have a fully fenced yard and an active lifestyle.DISCLAIMER- Breed type is determined based on general appearance and behavioral characteristics and cannot be guaranteed unless DNA test results or AKC registration were provided at intake.***MOST OF OUR DOGS ARE FOSTERED IN TEXAS, BUT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AND TRANSPORT OUT OF STATE.
