Recycled K-9 Animal Rescue

Recycled K-9 is strictly a volunteer based animal rescue. We are solely funded by donations. We are currently based in Yemassee SC. Due to relocation we are temporarily unable to accept horses or live stock at this time. We are also limited on the number of dogs/cats we can house.

Here at Recycled K-9 we thrive to make sure that abused, neglected, and abandoned animals find their forever homes. Although our animals mainly come from strays found wandering the roads or from high kill shelters we make sure each and every animal is temperament tested and goes through basic training before being put up for adoption.

Recycled K-9s was established in 2002. We have dedicated our time to help out animals of all kinds. We don't discriminate. All breeds and types welcome. We do try to keep our main focus is to the seniors, disabled, and those with medical needs.

All animals within this rescue maintain proper grooming needs as well as basic training while they are in our care. Each and every animal gets their individual love, socialization, and care daily.

Most of our animals are in foster homes so appointments must be made to see an animal on our list. Be they will be available most days and times.

From time to time we will help do courtesy posting for people whom are no longer able to care for their pets and Recycled K-9s can not guarantee the health or temperament of the animal. But will require they are up to date on all shots and be spayed/neutered before I will post them.

Prior to adoption, all animals are temperament tested, vaccinated, micro-chipped, and spayed / neutered. Some animals are posted are not already fully vetted but will be before taking your new family member home.

Owner surrenders are required to fill out a surrender release form and may be required to pay a small surrender fee depending on the needs of the animal you are surrendering.

Additional adoption info

Our $100.00 adoption fee includes spay/neuter Micro chip all shots, worming, etc. If we have a animal who requires special care the adoption will be reduced or waived depending on the animal and the circumstance. All adoption fees go to the vetting of the next animal who enters RK9.

Adoption prices on each animal may vary under the Standard $100 fee. Seniors or special needs are $75. Some adults will be priced lower due to training issues or placement needs.

Home visit and adoption contract are required. For out-of-area adopters, a positive vet reference and at least two character references may take the place of the home visit. All transportation, Health Certificate and Boarding fees must be paid by the adopter and the transportation must also be approved by RK9 before travel.

We reserve the right to refuse adoption to anyone.
