DOG'S DESCRIPTION
This sweet guy was dumped at a kill shelter in SC and we have stepped in to look for a forever home for him in the DC/VA/MD area. Anyone looking for a sweet companion that is good with other dogs?
Hackett is HW positive and being treated in the next couple weeks. K-9 Lifesavers covers the cost of treatment, but it sure would be nice if he could rest in the comforts of a new furever 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.
