Melon's Story

Martin came to Saving Grace in June 2021. He was facing euthanasia at a local shelter after being seized from his owner for neglect. His rough past has not affected his sweet personality. He loves to cuddle and be held. He's a young small guy, probably around 2 years old and 10 pounds. He has been on sleepovers with volunteers and did well with dogs his size, and he slept in the bed all night without any problems. He needs some house training work, but he should learn quickly once he's in a home. He's learning leash walking and doing well. Contact us if you are interested in meeting Martin.

Saving Grace Rescue LBK's Adoption Policy

Our adoption fee is $225 (locally). This fee goes toward the cost of our vetting expenses for the dog, which includes the dog being spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. We require an application and home visit for adoption of one of our dogs. We want to ensure our dogs are placed in forever homes and are not in a situation that would be unsafe for the dog or perpetuate the misconceptions surrounding Pit Bulls. We prefer that adopters be at least 21 years old, but we will consider applicants under 21 on a case by case basis - so please still fill out an application. Please keep in mind that we know our dogs well; behavior, temperament, special needs, etc. Any decisions we make are in trying to do what's best for our dogs and the homes that we adopt them into. **If you are adopting out of state and we are sending a dog for adoption through our partner, Project Freedom Ride, the adoption fee is $500 which covers all vetting requirements and transport costs.**
