Adopting a dog is a serious commitment of both time and money, and should not be a decision entered into lightly. Adopting a dog is a financial investment when you consider all aspects of the dog’s care: food, toys, supplies, veterinary bills, licensing, and other basic costs.

Microchipping is the best way to return a lost dog to his owner in the event that the dog’s collar or tags should come off. If you move or change phone numbers- make sure to update your dogs too!

Her story goes like this…

Bounty spent most of her young life living outside and ignored in South Carolina. On September 24th somebody decided they didn’t want her anymore. They put her in the car and dumped her behind a kill shelter after hours. Bounty found herself alone, scared and pregnant. K-9 Lifesavers stepped in and found her a foster home, three weeks before giving birth to 12 puppies.

Once again we are joining forces with AdoptaPlatoon. Until December 15th, with a donation of $5.00 to the K-9 Lifesaver’s Critical Care Fund you can send a personal message to an Armed Force Member serving in the Iraq or Afghanistan.

K-9 Lifesavers provides Veterinary Care to many helpless shelter dogs that would otherwise be euthanized. All of our dogs receive appropriate routine care such as vaccines, de-wormings, heart-worm testing, and spays and neuters. But we also help those needing extraordinary care. This includes heart-worm treatment, tumor removals, dental treatment, orthopedic surgeries, critical care and much more.
