DOG'S DESCRIPTION
Meet Little Ricky! This adorable boy is hoping to find that special someone who can appreciate what a great guy he is. Little Ricky is housetrained and good with other dogs, although he can get a bit nervous around really big ones. He is good with cats and kids too, so what's not to love! He's a great size for all you small dog lovers and would be a good fit for first timers or apartment living. Please consider opening your heart and home to Little Ricky -- he would love to meet you!
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.
