DOG'S DESCRIPTION:  Hi, I'm Buffy the Vampire Slayer! Due to no fault of our own, I was surrendered along with my four siblings by our owner to an overcrowded shelter in Sumpter, North Carolina. We were scheduled to be euthanized due to space but thankfully K-9 Lifesavers has rescued us and given us a second chance in life. I'm still a puppy, but I've got a lot of love to give. I'm a little shy when you first meet me, but once I get to know you, I promise I'll be your best friend. I'm very sweet and I love to play with other dogs. They're my favorite! I'm currently doing great with my foster family.  My foster mom says: "She's truly a gem. She's the sweetest puppy- full of snuggles, loves to play, learns super quickly and isn't afraid of much (but not in a concerning, fearless, getting into trouble way). She gets along great with our 4 dogs (2 boys and 2 girls, ages 3-11, all bigger breeds) and loves my kids, who are 10 and 12. She gets into mischief but in a very typical puppy way. Like, she unrolls the toilet paper, but then proudly brings it to you, so she clearly has no idea she's done something she shouldn't have. It's actually very sweet.  The only really bad habit she has is jumping. She jumps on people and counter surfs, but we'll work on that. Otherwise, she's been the best girl ever!"



At my young age, I am in my prime for training and socialization. I promise to be there for you when you're sad, and to celebrate with you when you're happy. I'm just looking for someone to share all this love with. Adopting me would mean a world full of puppy kisses, tail wags, and unconditional love. I promise to be the best friend you've ever had. So, what do you say? Are you ready to let a sweet puppy like me into your heart? Submit an application today! 



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.

· Puppy (6 months and younger) - $500

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!
