Comet's Story

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire at https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic. You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/. Dog's Name: Comet (COM0423JNSMD) Estimated Breed: Shih Tzu MIX Approximate Age: 7 years Approximate Weight: 12 lbs (small) Currently Living at: Foster Adoption Fee: $375 DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Comet is a very sweet little Shih Tzu mix who came to us in a very sad state underweight and desperately in need of a good grooming. He had to be shaved down to the skin, so now he looks a bit funny, but he will be a gorgeous furball again in no time (just look at his "before" photo to see his beautiful coat). He is a happy, loving little guy who immediately fit right in with the dogs and cats at his foster home. His favorite activity is meeting new people on walks and his favorite place is cuddled up in your lap. This little charmer will go fast, so if you're looking for a cheerful and affectionate little buddy, fill out an application today to meet this cutie before he's snapped up! 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, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet. Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.
