DOG'S DESCRIPTION

Gertrude is such a bundle of love and the perfect size for any family! She's incredibly inquisitive and friendly with other dogs and humans. She's been known to give loving kisses and is always wagging her tail. Her sweet disposition does not match the unfortunate circumstances she has been in. She, along with her sister, were dumped in rural GA to fend for themselves. They ended up at the shelter, and luckily, we were able to rescue them before euthanasia.

Gertrude would love to have a wonderful forever home with a loving family! Are you just what Gertrude needs? She's great with other dogs, but we're not sure about cats.

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. 

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 [email protected]
