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:  Pup Kohana (KOH0825ARKMD) Estimated Breed:  Aussie / Catahoula mix Approximate Age: DOB 05/31/25  Approximate Weight: 25 LBS Currently Living at:  Foster  Adoption Fee:  $500DOG'S DESCRIPTION:  Pup KohanaMeet sweet Pup Kohana. He and his siblings started their lives in rural Arkansas, where they lived outdoors as part of a pack with other puppies and momma dogs. Thankfully, K-9 Lifesavers brought them to safety, and now Kohana is ready to bloom in his forever home. His mom is a beautiful 2-year-old Aussie mix weighing just 25 pounds named Junebug, and Kohana has inherited her gentle spirit and gorgeous looks. Kohana loves playtime, snuggles, and making new friends — especially with other dogs. He’s at the perfect age to begin training and will blossom into a wonderful companion with the right family. 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/.

He found himself in an overcrowded Alabama shelter after being surrendered by a breeder who could not sell him — but his luck changed when rescuers stepped in to give him the chance he deserves. This beautiful boy is a bit on the shy side at first, but he absolutely shines around other dogs. True to his Aussie nature, Lonnie is smart, energetic, and has that classic herding instinct — which means he may try to herd and nip at heels during play or running. Because of this, he would do best in a home with older children who understand herding-breed behaviors. Lonnie is at the perfect age for training and socialization, and with a patient adopter, he’ll blossom into the amazing companion he’s meant to be. Apply today and become the forever home this beautiful boy has been waiting for! This sweet little lady, along with her siblings Watson and Thelma, was rescued from a crowded shelter in Alabama—a scary spot for a young pup. Thankfully, K-9 Lifesavers came to the rescue for this trio. Louise is now safe, sound, and ready for her next big adventure: finding her forever family!
