Because we can all use a little good news these days…Happy Tails for Betty!!! This sweet girl didn’t always love other dogs (we feel the same way about other people 👀)… but it must have been worth the wait as after TWO YEARS she got the loving home she always deserved filled with all the toys she’s ever dreamed of🤗

July was a rough month for us with nonstop medical cases from dogs who needed our help. These lifesaving medical treatments and surgeries came to a whopping $13,880 (and that doesn’t include all of the routine vetting and care for these procedures). We added a summary about each pup and the care they received to give you background on each of their stories. If you can help out (every dollar counts, no amount too small!), we (and more importantly) the dogs will be extremely grateful if you can help us hit our goal of $15k! Thank you for your consideration! Link here: https://givebutter.com/IjQQmJ 🙏🐾

Spotlight on Lucy: Meet Lucy, a happy and gentle Lab-German Shepard mix eagerly awaiting her forever home. Lucy is not only beautiful but also sweet-natured, making her a perfect furry companion. She’s already quite smart and has mastered a number of commands, including “come” (her favorite), “stay”, and “back”. Lucy even senses when her foster parents are about to turn in for the night and will head up with them.

Maverick was owner surrendered to a shelter & we could not resist those baby blues!

This sweet boy is a 6 month old, typical husky mix puppy. He is about 50 pounds and continues to grow. He has High energy, a prey drive, super intelligent, and learns commands quickly. He is still getting the hang of house training but has a good start on conquering it!

He is great with other dogs and is learning to live with cats. He cannot live with chickens! He is very playful and not aggressive at all.

We would like to get him into a home that knows and understands the breed!

Please let me know if you would like to foster or adopt, both forms are on our website, thank you. www.k-9lifesavers.org

Update: COVERED!!! Thank you to everyone who reached out!!! We have more pups coming as well! ❤️❤️❤️

We just received a plea from a partner shelter to pull six English/French Mastiff 10 week old pups who were dropped off by a breeder who tried to have them euthanized because they weren’t sold 🤬

We committed to other pups already, but can add them to one of our transports if we have coverage— if you can help us out (even for fostering for a week or two) please let us know! 🙏

Have had two dhpp shots. Fostering is a great family activity over the summer! We can provide food, crate, collars and everything else you need— please reach out to us at [email protected] to learn more or fill out a foster application: https://k-9lifesavers.org/foster

Molly and Mindy didn't find forever homes today, but they have their paws crossed that it will happen soon!

Here is some info from their foster!
Suns out, tongues out. These two have so much fun playing together outside. Mindy is very vocal when she plays while Molly is just kinda a goofball. Both like running after the tennis ball and do fairly well bringing it back. I'd say Molly is the boss of the gam

Who we are and what we do

K-9 Lifesavers is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3), private non-profit rescue group dedicated to saving the lives of homeless and abandoned dogs from high-kill shelters and other high-risk situations. We rescue at risk dogs from throughout the southern US, provide emergency health care and screening, then vet, vaccinate, spay/neuter and work to place them in loving, forever homes. Even for healthy dogs, rescue costs add up quickly. We exist solely on donations and rely on fundraising and giving events to continue our mission. Please consider making a donation, one time or recurring, to support our work—it’s not possible without you and no amount is too small! In just the past year we have placed over 800 dogs in their forever homes and have provided heart worm treatment for over 100 dogs. Each month we incur the cost of at least one unplanned surgery and make weekly visits to the emergency vet to treat a wide range of unforeseen issues. Please consider visiting our critical care page to help those pups in need of some extra care and support.
