DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Leo is pretty amazing and would love a home with another dog and older kids. He is housetrained (uses a doggy door to a fenced in backyard) and is all around a well rounded pup ready to join you in all of your outdoor adventures. He settles in nice on the couch after his play time. Sadly, these beautiful puppies were found in a dump in rural Alabama. They are named the Star Litter because we want them to be treated as stars for the rest of their lives. As a true testament to how forgiving and loving dogs can be, they are all very sweet and really want attention and love despite the rough start to life they have had. They are also great with other dogs. At their young ages, they are in their prime for training and socialization too. Could you be the happy ending Leo so very deserves? 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.
