Sugar was surrendered to an overcrowded shelter in Johnson City, Tennessee because her owner was having financial issues and could no longer care for her. After being rescued by K-9 Lifesavers, Sugar is now ready to find her forever home. Could that be with you? Sugar has a playful nature and infectious energy. Her friendly disposition makes her a perfect companion for other dogs. She's always up for a game of fetch or a fun playdate with her canine friends. But it's not just her playful side that stands out. Sugar's sweet and loving nature make her an ideal candidate for just about any home. She's always ready to give love and seeks the same in return. At Sugar's young age, she is in her prime for training and socialization too. Adopting Sugar would mean endless love, companionship and a whole lot of cuteness. 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.orgSponsor Me!    Make a  tax-deductible donation  today by visiting us at http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/donate/  .

Story
Jasper, was rescued from the streets, came to us 2.5 years ago after being rehomed due to family circumstances. He had prior training, which we've continued, and he's a very good boy. Jasper's ideal day involves relaxing on the couch while you're away, a joyful reunion when you return, and then some spirited squirrel chasing in the backyard. He's athletic and needs a fenced yard to run and play. After his bursts of energy, he's a champion cuddler, curling up next to you for some quiet time. Due to his past, Jasper has some behavioral tendencies. He's very protective of his home and owner. Therefore, we're seeking a specific type of home for him: No other pets or children. Experienced dog owner: Someone familiar with and able to maintain his e-collar training. Fenced yard: Essential for him to safely roam and exercise. We love Jasper and want the very best for him. It's been a difficult decision, but we believe this is the right step to ensure his happiness and well being.

Story
APPLICATION LINK: https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-pet-central-satx/ We must have an application to move forward. (Shayne's Rescue is an affiliate with PetCentralSATX). If there are problems with the website, please email me for help. RONNIE is an unusual Blue Heeler mix female. She is about 1 ½ yrs old (DOB 6/1/23). She is outgoing and happy while also a bit shy and reserved. She loves to play with other dogs. She is good with my cats … not doing anything, just sniffing. Of course, my cats like to tell the dogs where to go… :). She walks easily on a leash and rides well in the car. She weighs 44#s. She would be a great companion dog for another dog…and for an older person/couple that likes to throw the ball and take long walks. She would be good with a child if they could be gentle. We are working on house training. Ronnie was found out on the street…scared, skinny, and in need of help. A foster took her in and gave her good food, attention, and love. She was scared at first with the new people around her but now she loves to be petted and hugged. Check our YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/PFsQf0FE41I This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention.

Story
Age: 2 years Size: 58 pounds Estimated breed: Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix Spotty needs a home with: resident dog(s), fenced in yard, no young children   Update 7/7:  Spotty is super dog social guy who needs to be with other dogs. He absolutely adores every dog he meets. Spotty is still a little reserved around people but has been making huge strides and seems to improve every day! He has gone through professional training to work on self- confidence and is able to go on walks now and trust more than he used to. Spotty is super submissive and needs a home with a very social dog that will hang out and play with him all day. He loves to play with dogs more than anything. Spotty is also house trained and crate trained. He requires a fenced yard as he can get spooked and we don’t want to take chances of him trying to flee. Spotty has endless potential if you give him the time and patience he needs and deserves to come out of his shell! -------- Spotty is estimated to be about 1.5 years old and 45 pounds. He was found as a stray in SC and was completely petrified at the shelter. He sat in a corner shaking and had to be carried just to move out of his kennel. He came to us very nervous and shy but with the help of his canine friends, he is slowly learning to trust and thriving in his foster home. He has also met and done training with our trainer where he is now comfortable going for walks on a leash and exploring the outdoors!   Spotty gains comfort from other dogs, so he requires a home with a friendly resident dog to help show him the ropes. Spotty would do best in a home without young children as he is still gets timid around new people and retreats. With time and patience, he will show his new family how goofy and happy he really is. All he needs is someone who is understands that just needs a little time to know he is safe. His best quality..... he is AMAZING with other dogs and wants to be their best friend. If you have a dog that has been wanting a sibling, Spotty is your guy!   To adopt Spotty, please apply on our website! www.keytolionsheart.org/adopt   Please note we cannot guarantee the breed or adult size of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their crate and house training. November 4, 2024, 12:43 pm

Freckles, check, cute face, check, engaging personality, check. What else do you need? Nestor is a Chihuahua/Australian Shepherd mix. He enjoys snuggling up to his humans, but likes things to be on his terms. Nestor is what we call a velcro dog. He wants to be where you are. Working in the office, curled up on the sofa, outside for an adventure, Nestor is there. He is food motivated, but also enjoys toys and his quiet time. This little boy is sooo sweet! Nestor is opinionated, but likes other dogs and has lived with cats. He likes to have a gentle introduction to people but then is yours forever. He is house trained and walks well on a leash. He is the perfect size for easy lifting. The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter.
