K9 Paw Print Rescue

K9 Paw Print Rescue K9PPR is a small, volunteer-run, foster-based, all-breed dog rescue organization based in the East Bay Area.

Our mission is to rescue, rehab, and re-home, abandoned, abused, stray and neglected dogs primarily from overcrowded shelters. K9 Paw Print Rescue was established in 2012 by a group of animal lovers dedicated to rescuing dogs abandoned in local shelters and facing euthanasia. Our organization is composed of dedicated, experienced and hardworking volunteers and loving foster homes. Dogs in our prog

ram are evaluated for temperament and health, medically treated (if necessary) and placed in foster homes until they are deemed ready for adoption. K9PPR’s main goal is to rescue the dogs with little to no chance of being adopted in municipal shelters. Unfortunately, many shelter dogs fall into this category due to fear, neglect, abuse, treatable illnesses, age as well as a host of other reasons. Thanks to the help of our training and veterinary partners as well as our fosters and volunteers, we are able to help many of these “underdogs” and set them up for successful placement in loving forever homes. As of 2020 we have placed over 1,000 dogs (and a few cats) in wonderful homes! Please visit our website: k9ppr.org for more about our organization.

✨ PUPDATE! ✨ Wilma is healing up beautifully and will be available for adoption soon! ❤️‍🩹💕

When we first saw her at the shelter she was scared, painful, and unsure of the world after likely being hit by a car. Now? This silly girl is stealing the show, showing off her playful personality, and lighting up every room she walks into. ✨🐾

We can’t thank everyone enough who helped rescue Wilma and supported her medical care. Because of so many caring people coming together, this sweet pup gets the happy future she always deserved.

Wilma is an affectionate adolescent girl who would love a home with a playful canine buddy. She’s still a little shy at first and needs some time to warm up to men, but every day her confidence grows and more of her goofy, joyful personality shines through.

Watching her go from scared and hurting to happy and playful has been the best kind of transformation. 💕🐶

ADOPTED 🐾

Daxo the giant squishy mastiff officially found his forever home 🖤

His DNA says he’s part Boerboel and part American Bully… which explains the giant head, even bigger heart, and endless snuggles.

So happy this sweet boy gets the amazing life he always deserved ✨

Wilma 💕PUPDATE After being hit by a car, this sweet little girl is safe and healing thanks to so many people coming together to help save her.🐾

She had a great vet visit and fancy little splint appointment and is doing really well. She still has some healing ahead of her and will be on strict rest with her splint for a while, so this is probably the most “zoomies” she’ll be allowed for now 😂

She is truly the sweetest, most loving little dog and we’re so happy with the progress she’s already made. Thank you to everyone who helped give Wilma a chance. 💗

PSA! We have seen a large number of attempts to scam individuals out of money. Many scammers are targeting rescue pages and or pretending to be rescue. We are seeing them comment on our page. Please never buy or send any funds to anyone anything unless our actual page posts something. This is so frustrating. Any ideas on how to avoid this. We are seeing a lot more scammers lately. 😤😩

Wilma is now in her foster mom's care and on the journey to healing and recover but we are thrilled to know she's already resting and more comfortable being out of the shelter. She had a leg fracture and some road rash, etc from being hit by a car but she’s already improving and stable. You can donate towards her care at www.K9ppr.org

We're pretty sure Mr Tenzi is completely enamored with his new parents. He's going to be spoiled rotten but has a sister to keep him from getting too big for his britches. His new name is Matisse to match with his sister Millie. Millie and Matisse, we're thrilled you're living your best life together!

Meet Tenzi ✨🐾

This dashing little Shih Tzu (2–3 yrs, ~14 lbs) is as sweet as he is handsome—soft fluffy coat, soulful eyes, and the cutest tiny beard. Tenzi is gentle, playful, and loves his toys (especially balls!) and cozy blankets just as much as couch cuddles.

After a rough start to life, Tenzi is ready for a fresh beginning with a patient, loving home that will help him continue learning indoor life and potty training. He thrives with another dog, enjoys calm environments with older kids (10+), and prefers short walks over big adventures.
Tenzi will need regular grooming and a committed adopter—but in return, you’ll get a loyal, affectionate companion who will truly blossom with love 💛

Apply to adopt at www.k9ppr.org 💗
