My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Beautiful 1yr old Carissa is a sweet, social girl that will do best in a socially active family. She loves to get outside and run so she’d be a great jogging partner! She also loves to meet people of all ages so lots of walks are a must, too. She is very friendly and affectionate, and loves to cuddle but at 48lbs she’s getting a bit big to continue being a lap dog, although she doesn’t think so! Carissa also enjoys playing with other dogs so another medium size dog in the home would be great, but it’s not required. She has not yet been tested with cats but she’s such a sweet tempered girl, we think she’ll be fine with the kitties. She is fully crate trained so she can be left home alone for a reasonable amount of time. With just a little more direction, she’ll be fully house trained, too. She is very smart so lots of continued training games with an experienced person will help her become the very best k9citizen! She must have a 5ft or higher, securely fenced yard and kids must be over 8yrs old. (More photos coming soon)

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Interested adopters should email info@k9rr.org to request an application. Once complete, the application can be returned via email and quickly reviewed. If approved, we then invite potential adopters to visit with one or more of the dogs that interest them. If the meet and greet goes well, we encourage a week long "trial adoption" to ensure a good match. During that week we communicate often and are available for support and guidance, via phone or email, 24/7.

Unless otherwise specified, K9 R&R adoption fees range from $350-$500 and include all vetting and microchip. We also provide ongoing training tips and help as needed, for the life of the dogs.

K9 R&R is a non-profit, volunteer based organization.

More about this rescue

K9 R&R rescues dogs from shelters and other various facilities across the nation, but focusing primarily on those throughout the west coast. In addition, we help re-home family pets of owners who can no longer care for them. K9 R&R assesses and works with every dog prior to adopting them out and continues to provide support to adopters for the entire life of the dog. K9 Rescue & Rehab was founded with the desire to provide a more thorough, inclusive, supportive approach to dog rescue and re-homing. When adopting a K9 R&R dog, you are not only adding a new family member, but are becoming part of an extended family that is always there to support you in hard times and celebrate with you in joyful ones.
