DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Meet Pup Jazzy! Life hasn't always been easy for this sweet pup. Rescued by K-9 Lifesavers from a hoarding situation in Alabama, he is now safe and ready for the fresh start he has always deserved. This adorable youngster is discovering that the world can be a kind and wonderful place. Gentle and incredibly sweet, he is looking for a patient adopter who will give him the time and encouragement he needs to build confidence at his own pace. Every small milestone will be rewarded with a loyal companion who is so grateful for a second chance. One thing he already knows? Other dogs are wonderful! He absolutely enjoys the company of canine friends and would thrive in a home with a confident, welcoming dog who can help show him the ropes—or with regular opportunities to spend time with friendly dog buddies. If you're ready to open your heart to a deserving pup and watch an incredible transformation unfold, apply today. The love, trust, and joy you'll gain in return will be worth every moment.

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.
