Story
Cali needs a new home. She’s a good girl but due to losing my home, I am no longer able to keep her. She’s about 2 1/2 years old - white with a few black spots. Squeaky toys and bouncy balls are her favorite. My 1st pup-pup passed away last year so she was with him for about 6 months. Cali wanted to play but he was an old man and just wanted to chill. Otherwise, she’s good with dogs and children once she warms up - takes about 10 minutes at most. Cali is 50 pounds (she sits on my lap and I’m fine) and probably 2 feet high. She looks smaller than her weight. She is fixed and on flea/tick preventative and heart worm preventative. She is an Aussie mix with lots of energy. My nieces and nephews love to run around the yard with her. She loves it too.

Chase absolutely adores children and would thrive in a home where he can be part of the action. He’s also gets along great with other dogs and even cats — making him a good fit for a multi-pet household.     Chase is a bright boy who loves to engage with his people. He’s eager to learn, quick to pick things up, and would enjoy activities that keep both his mind and body busy. And while he’s playful and energetic, he has a lovely “off switch” and settles down nicely after his fun is done.     What Chase wants most is a forever home where he can be included, loved, and given the chance to shine. So, if you’re looking for a fun-loving, family-friendly pup who’s as sweet as he is smart, Chase might just be the one you’ve been waiting for.     Apply today before this one gets away! 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.

We feel our comprehensive adoption process which includes not only taking the time to match the dog to the prospective new owner but helping to educate that owner in responsible dog care, allows us to find the best homes for our little buddies and the best companions for you!

Interested in one of our dogs? Great! Now that you've seen them here, you'll need to go to our website where you'll find our list of adoptable dogs (updated every week).

Once we receive your application, whoever is fostering that particular dog will contact you and do a short over the phone interview to complete your application process. If everything works out, they will set an appointment with you so come out and "visit" with the dog you're interested in (we want to make sure that not only are you a good fit for the dog but that the dog will fit with you).
