DOGS DESCRIPTION Tessie is a super sweet, happy, playful, cuddly, smart, and outgoing girl who loves people and gets along well with other dogs. She is house trained and learning some basic commands. Shes an energetic girl so she will be happiest in a home with a fenced yard where she can run and play. Tessie has a great disposition and isnt at all aggressive but plays a bit rough so will benefit from some training. For this reason, we wouldnt recommend she be placed in a home with very young children or a small dog. She arrived to us with the scarring on her nose so we arent sure what happened to this poor baby in her previous life. This wonderful sweetheart is ready for a family who will give her lots of love and attention. 

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, 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 dogs 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.
