DOGS DESCRIPTION

Say Hi to Carson! Looking for the perfect family dog? This happy fella has the best, easy going personality. He is a medium-energy guy who loves his people and is good with other dogs and will put up with cats - met one and was quite curious, but ok. He enjoys a daily walk, but he is just as happy to have his couch time too. Unfortunately, Carson is heartworm positive, but with treatment provided by K-9 Lifesavers, he will be feeling fine in no time! Will you let Carson be a part of your life? Hed love to meet you!

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.
