My story

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

Dog's Name:   Momo (MOM0623OWSMN)
Estimated Breed :   Beagle / Shepherd Mix
Approximate Age:   3-4 years
Approximate Weight:  45 lbs 
Currently Living at:  Boarding
Adoption Fee:  $400


DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Meet Momo! He is literally the perfect dog for an active family or active individual! He is a VERY good boy, loves people and other dogs, and his mission in life is to have fun and cuddle with his peeps. Momo is smart too! He knows his basic commands, "sit, lie down, shake, drop it". He is a sweet active boy, very high-energy and affectionate, who wakes up everyday ready to play! Momo would be a great candidate for agility training - he pays attention to commands and is super athletic! He enjoys his trips to the dog park and is great with other mid to large sized dogs and will sufficiently wear out all the other dogs and still have energy to play some more. He would thrive in a home with another playful dog or kids to keep him company. He has lived in a home with a child 4-6 years old and is good with older kids, but he has never been around very small children or babies. He also could live with cats, he might chase a bit, but means no harm. Momo is very excited for walks, and tends to pull, but he uses a leader harness to remind him not to. His ideal home would have a big yard where he can run and play. Momo has been diagnosed with Diabetes Insipidus and will be on meds for life...but the good news is the meds are cheap meds called Desmopressin. The medication thru GoodRx ranges $9 - $20 per month. Momo would love to find an active forever family who will give him the home of his dreams!

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 (at partner vet if not fixed before adoption), 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)

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!
