About K9 Rescue and Sanctuary
I have been rescuing dogs for many years, but just recently started getting more officially involved. It started with a rescue last year, Michael. He was being tethered to a trailer in the back yard 24/7 in the extreme summer heat and horrible thunderstorms. Animal Services were full so they were not doing much so I worked with the family for about a month before I was able to get them to surrender him to me. I wasn't able to keep him due to his size so I found him a wonderful home. That really inspired me and not long after I was given the opportunity to rescue 2 dogs from really deplorable conditions and again, due to size, had to adopt one out. He went to a wonderful home in Missouri. I was able to keep his senior mom. She has been through enough in her life I did not want to put her through another transition. That is the sanctuary part of the organization. So now I would like to put up some more fencing and make some other modifications to that I can take in a few more dogs and hopfully find them wonderful homes as well so I can continue to help more. There are so many in need. Shelters and rescues all seem to be full and there is a shortage of fosters available. I would love to team up with some amazing people who can assist me so we can provide help for even more.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
