DOG'S DESCRIPTION

Meet sweet, beautiful Vegas aka Roza, an energetic young lass who is always happy to go for a walk, keep up the cat patrol out of the windows, go for car rides, or just snuggle herself up into an amazingly tiny ball for a nap.  Roza has a very gentle demeanor and is great with kids and adults of all ages and genders.  She knows her commands (sit, down, let’s go, wait, lay down) and walks quite well on a leash, but occasionally needs some refresher training reinforcement with treats.  She is house trained (but all dogs need to adjust to a new routine!).  She can be a little bit of fence jumper so she would do better in a home with a 6-foot fence or leash-walking 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. 

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]
