Dog's Name: Carter Estimated Breed : Labrador Retriever mix Approximate Age: 1 year Approximate Weight: approx. 50 lbs Currently Living at: Foster Adoption Fee: $375 DOG'S DESCRIPTION What a handsome fellow!! Carter is an extremely timid boy who is very unsure of things right now but is slowly coming out of his shell. He will do best with an adopter who is loving, patient and willing to give him the time he needs to build his trust. Another confident dog in the household will also show Carter how awesome life can be. Carter would not thrive in an apartment or busy city, so a more rural single family home with a large fenced yard is the best fit for him. Carter deserves a loving forever home, won’t you help him find it? 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.
