Things To Know When Adopting A Puppy/Dog


              


Save A Life Pet Rescue, INC takes great pride in the health, temperament and adoption experience for both the animals and adopters.
It is very important to ASK questions before, and during an adoption to ensure you are dealing with a reputable rescue.

Save A Life Pet Rescue deals with a lot of animals under the age 6 months and takes proper precautions to ensure a happy, healthy new pet. Animals under the age of 6 months old require more time, care and medical then an adult dog. This is because puppies immune systems are not fully developed and are more susceptible to catching diseases.

99% of our animals rescued are rescued from High-Kill Shelters. 1% are owner surrender.

Animals pulled from Shelters, compared to animals turned in by their owners, (living in a home environment) are exposed to extremely deadly diseases. Parvo, Distemper, Pneumonia, Corona and Kennel Cough are a the main diseases lurking at pounds. 

These diseases can have an incubation period of up to 14 days and sometimes longer.

Even animals "Surrendered" by their owners can still contract these diseases and should be quarantined.




*** Before Adopting An Animal Be Sure To Know The Answers To The Following Questions

To Ensure A Happy, Healthy New Family Member. These Questions Will Also Help An Adopter

We also spend time with our adopters going over signs and symptoms to watch out for and treatment options that we offer if an illness were to arrise. We also include a personal cell number (Tela's) that is on 24 hours a day 7 days a week. We want all adopters to be comfortable knowing we are available 24 hours a day and have an emergency Vet that is open until about 3-4 am everyday if an emergency may happen.

Ma Chi AkA *Baby*




    Mai Chi AkA *Baby Momma* is a 10-11 year old Chi Mix Girl. She has been with us at Save A Life Pet Rescue for almost 5 years now. We rescued her from a hoarder, up state, whom only used her for breeding.

She was kept in a small crate all her life and forced to have litter after litter after litter.  By the time we rescued *Baby* she had 8 little ones about 10weeks old and was pregnant again. We can only imagine how many litters this little girl had given in her life time. *Baby* was by no means a friendly dog when we rescued her.  She was terrified of us and wouldn't let us within 10 feet of her. You could tell she never had any human interaction, besides being fed, and was never out of the crate. She was covered in fecal matter and smelled to high heaven. Her nails were curled under and she was covered in flea and ticks. We knew she was going to need a lot of work. We never thought the day would come that she would be able to be placed up for adoption. We felt the condition she was in was going to affect her for the rest of her life. We felt she would never trust a human again.

*Baby* as you can see in the picture has come a long way in almost 5 years. It took myself and Nikki almost 1 year to gain her trust enough to let us just walk by her without barking or trying to nip us. The look in her eyes says it all. She is a sweet girl inside but has been so badly mistreated for the majority of her life her trust issues may never subside. *Baby* does not tolerate men in any way shape or form. We think this may have something to do with her past.

After almost 5 years *Baby* has made enormous leaps in her rehabilitation. She now trusts Nikki enough to let her pick her up for a short while. We are able to bath her regularly, clip her nails and pet her.  She also has found a use for that tail of hers. It no longer lives tucked beneath her, it wags 1000 miles a minute when she sees us. To see *Baby*  hop around like a little rabbit with that tail going ever so quickly is a sight we never thought we would see. It brings an ear to ear smile to our faces every time!

We believe that with the right person, *Baby* will be able to spend the rest of her life being the happy little dog she always should have been. 
*Baby* although has been around children will not be placed in a home with a child. She is great with cats and LOVES other dogs. *Babys* ideal home would be a home with another dog, big or small and a woman as her owner.

*Baby* is fixed, up-to-date on all of her vaccines, housebroken, great with cats and other dogs.
*Baby* is also available for foster, or foster adopt.
Her adoption donation is $25.00

*Baby* will need some time to adjust to a new household and we will require that she be fostered before an adoption may take place. We want to make sure she can adjust to her new surroundings and that we match her with her perfect forever loving home.

Do you have a place in your heart to give to true rescued dog a second chance at a happy and fulfilling life?

Please e-mail me, Tela, at Savealifepetres@aol.com or call me at 407-952-1037
if you have any questions or would be interested in giving *Baby* a chance.

Each year in the U.S. 9 million animals are "Humanely Euthanized."


Every day in the U.S. 50,000 puppies are born. More than half end up in kill-shelters.


Many people want themselves or their children to experience the "Miracle of Life."
What better way to experience this than to let your "Beloved Pet" have a beautiful litter of puppies...
Yes... Puppies are beautiful, cute and cuddly...
But what happens to these little "Miracles" when you realize you can't care for them anymore...

They end up fighting to become "Miracles."

   
We picked these little "Miracles" up from a high-kill shelter in FL.
The "Responsible Owner" actually planned the litter and after they started "eating too much," decided that one feeding once a week would
be sufficient. After 7 days he decided to take them to animal control to have them euthanized. 

"The Miracle Was Over." 

We arrived just in time. These pups were so malnourished and weak that 2 of the 5 couldn't even stand up. 1 pup (The one shown in the middle) could barely lift his head to eat. These babies were covered in their own fecal matter, urine and covered in fleas. 
Do you know what happened to the "Responsible Owner?" 

He went home to his family like nothing ever happened.

Unfortunately... This happens every day.
These puppies didn't deserve this and the owner should have been held responsible.

So please... If you breed... Think about the over population of animals. 
Don't think this couldn't happen to you litter of "Miracles."

Save A Life Pet Rescue INC.

            Save a Life Pet Rescue, INC. is an all volunteer, Non-Profit, No-Kill 501 c3 Animal Rescue Licensed in Florida and Georgia. We are NOT Government funded and our rescue runs solely on our adoption donations. 
               Save a Life Pet Rescue, INC. is here to provide a second chance for many animals that were simply “thrown away.” We are not a breed specific rescue and believe that every animal deserves the chance to a happy, healthy and loving life. In the past 4 years Save a Life Pet Rescue, INC. successfully adopted out over 6000 animals to loving homes.
                90% of all animals we pull come from Animal Control’s with a 3% adoption rate and a 97% euthanasia rate. We travel as far as 9 hours away (every week) to GA to pull animals from being “Humanely Euthanized” in gas chambers. These animals need all the help they can get. 99% of the animals we pull have never seen any medical attention in their lives and it shows. Many never make it to adoption events due to the neglect of the previous owner (if one was even present) and the lack of funding the animal control’s have. 100% of the animals we pull have been exposed to extremely deadly diseases at these Animal Control’s and have not been vaccinated prior to being exposed.

 
                90% of the adult dogs we pull are Heartworm Positive and will need to undergo Heartworm treatment. These dogs are always overlooked because they

will require expensive medical and longer housing before being able to be placed up for adoption. Last year alone we successfully rescued, treated and adopted out over

200 adult dogs. (Now Heartworm NEGATIVE!)

                When adopting an animal from Save a Life Pet Rescue, INC. all adopters are given an adoption folder full of valuable veterinary information and training

videos to help new pet parents keep their new member of their family safe and healthy at all times.  At the time of adoption new pet parents receive 3 free veterinary

exams at our recommended Veterinarians. Also we provide new pet parents with a 3 day health guarantee to ensure a healthy new pet. If within 3 days of adoption an

animal needs to be hospitalized, we at Save a Life Pet Rescue, INC. will cover all medical costs when the animal is taken to our recommended veterinarians. We always

encourage new pet parents to contact us at any time with questions or concerns they may have with their new pet.
