DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Meet Shayla!
(We will post some better photos as soon as she arrives). Beautiful little Shayla is a Bernedoodle who has come a long way from a breeder in Alabama, and she is now ready to begin the next chapter of her life. Bernedoodles are known for being affectionate, loyal, and devoted to their people, often forming wonderful bonds with their families. We think Shayla has all the potential to become a cherished companion who will happily be by your side through all of life's adventures. And with their goofy, playful personalities, Bernedoodles have a wonderful way of bringing plenty of smiles and laughter along with all that love!
Shayla deserves the chance to discover just how wonderful life can be with a family of her own. Could you be the one to show her? Apply today and give sweet Shaylal the loving forever home she has been waiting for!

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.
