Tex's Story

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire at https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic<br/>You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/. <br/><br/>Dog's Name: Tex (TEX1220JNSMN)<br/>Estimated Breed: Cattle Dog Mix<br/>Approximate Age: 7 years<br/>Approximate Weight: 59 lbs <br/>Currently Living at: Boarding<br/>Adoption Fee: $400<br/><br/>DOG'S DESCRIPTION: Tex is not just your average dog; he's a sweet, affectionate companion eagerly searching for his forever home where he can share his boundless love and energy with a caring family. In his foster home, Tex has been thriving, showcasing his good manners and delightful personality. He's an outgoing pup who adores meeting new people and making furry friends. However, Tex prefers to be the sole dog in his household, and he kindly requests a cat-free environment, too! He will also be too much for small children. If there are kids in the home they should be 10 yrs or older.<br/><br/>One of Tex's favorite pastimes is going for car rides, his tail wagging with excitement as he embarks on adventures with his beloved humans. Plus, he's mastered the art of crate training, willingly retreating to his cozy den upon command.<br/><br/>Although Tex is an active fellow, he's adaptable and could happily reside in an apartment setting as long as he receives ample exercise and mental stimulation. He's hoping to find a home with someone experienced in handling dogs, someone who understands his needs and is ready to embark on this journey with him.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home. For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/ or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.org<br/><br/>Sponsor Me!
