My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire at https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic
You can learn about the adoption process http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.

Dog's Name: Archie (ARC0821OWSMN)
Estimated Breed: Beagle/Feist
Approximate Age: 6-7 years
Approximate Weight: 45 lbs
Currently Living at: Boarding
Adoption Fee: $400

DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Hi, I'm Archie! I've been waiting a LONG time to find my forever home. I absolutely LOVE all people, adults, kids - everyone - but I am a people dog, not a dog's dog. In other words, I prefer to be your ONE an ONLY as I have so much love to give! I have been in a foster home (where I thrived and was quite well behaved, even housetrained), and I went through some leash training but my fosters were getting busy and could not keep me. I really miss being in a home, so I am hoping that someone who is looking for an older but still active dog would adopt me! I'd be a great companion for anyone with a fenced yard (I love to enjoy nature) and who also enjoys a good cuddle on the couch! I am very strong on leash, and since I do react to other dogs, I am really quite content to have the run of a nice fenced yard, and your devoted love an attention! If I sound like a dream to you, please come meet my adorable smile!

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 foster@k-9lifesavers.org

Additional adoption info

The adoption process is almost always completed within one week of time you submitted your questionnaire (times can vary depending on your location, the dog’s location, and availability). Please, note that we do receive large number of applications for certain litters, and as much as we would like to, we can't always get back to everyone. We appreciate your understanding as all volunteer run organization.

Fill out an adoption questionnaire, found at https://k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt (please note, completion of the Adoption Questionnaire does not guarantee adoption- it is the first step in our adoption process).

· An adoption counselor will call you to review your application.

· The adoption counselor will call your reference, landlord/condo association, and veterinarian (if applicable).

· The entire household should be willing and present for a home visit.

· The adoption counselor will schedule a time for you, your family, and any other pets to meet the dog(s) you've applied for.

Once approved, you will need to finalize your adoption by completing an adoption contract and paying the adoption fee in cash or check. At that time, available medical records will be provided along with a variety of other information.

ADOPTION FEES

· Young Adult Dog (7 months to 7 years) - $400

· Puppy (6 months and younger) - $500

· Heartworm Positive Dog - $450(This fee includes treatment for heartworm)

· Golden Year Dogs (8 years and older) - $300

Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention, monthly flea/tick prevention, and our transport costs. Please note that puppies 6 months and younger K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet or reimburse you for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.

More about this rescue

K-9 Lifesavers is an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 non-profit organization that rescues homeless and abandoned dogs. We save canines that are scheduled for euthanasia from high kill shelters, where there are typically held only for 3-7 days. K-9 Lifesavers also strives to educate the importance of responsible dog ownership, including spay/neuter, training, and pet nutrition.

K-9 Lifesavers relies primarily upon our dedicated foster families since we do not operate a shelter. These homes provide loving, temporary care until our rescues find their forever homes. We are always looking for foster families.

Please visit our website at www.k-9lifesavers.org for additional information about K-9 Lifesavers. The website lists our available dogs, volunteer opportunities, foster information, and various ways to donate.

Please help us rescue more canines waiting for their second chance at life with a forever home! Adopt a rescue, foster, volunteer, or donate!
