Kamala, beagle mix

Kamala is a lovable female beagle mix being cared for at K-9 Lifesavers.

Kamala is friendly and she'll get along great with your other dogs. She has had all of her shots and is spayed and house-trained.

Kamala's current caretakers say:

Kamala is a sweet girl who has been living in a loving home since puppy age. We would love to find her a home quickly so she won't have to be in the kennel long.

Pup Nora, Great Pyrenees mix

Pup Nora is a charming female Great Pyrenees mix staying at K-9 Lifesavers.

Pup Nora is friendly as can be, and she gets along well with other dogs. She has mastered her house-training etiquette, and her vaccinations are already up to date.

Notes from Pup Nora's caretakers:

Pup Nora was adopted once she healed from her surgery and has been a very loved family dog. But Nora is back with us now because she is being a little to vocal for the neighbors. After much thought and consideration, we feel she will do better in a more rural setting — a home with space between neighbors so she can be true to her breed.
