DOG'S DESCRIPTION
If you’re looking for a good-natured dog, then Steffi is the one! This sweet momma has had her puppies and is now ready to be spoiled. She is thriving in her foster home and loves playing with her foster siblings!    Unfortunately, she is heartworm position, but with medical treatment provided by K-9 Lifesavers, she will be healthy, happy and ready to be a part of a loving family and home.

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 (for dogs over 6 months old), 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.
