K9 Paw Print Rescue

K9 Paw Print Rescue We work closely with our shelters and rescuers to give homeless animals a second chance. Please visit our website: k9ppr.org for more about our organization.

K9 Paw Print Rescue is a non profit 501(c)(3). -Tax I.D. 45-5601628 We rescue, rehab, and re-home abandoned, stray and neglected animals from shelter situations. 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 program 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!

From desperate to dream come true! Cookie was originally scheduled for euthanasia today and the Shelter reported no Rescue tag as of yesterday, leaving her with dwindling hope. Fortunately, one of our fosters intervened, and it appears this will be a foster fail, as it seems to be true love. Although she remains fearful, Cookie is gradually warming up to her Foster, who is determined to provide stability, as she cannot bear the thought of Cookie experiencing further displacement and fear. She simply wants Cookie to feel at home.

🌟 Meet 🌟 8-month-old French Bulldog puppy with a super sweet, silly personality wrapped up in 21 lbs of pure muscle. She adores dogs of all sizes and even gets along with cats 🐾 Her goofy energy can be a bit much for smaller fragile pups, and does best with sturdy medium or bigger dogs, holds her own and plays happily. Like any Frenchie, her activity needs to be managed so she doesn’t overheat or overdo it. This is not a breed for someone who doesn’t have a high attention for details in general.

Star is your typical Frenchie clown—curious, affectionate, and hilarious, but also mischievous if left unsupervised. She’ll chew things she shouldn’t and “sample” whatever’s within reach, so she needs a home that will keep her safe and on track. She’s also still working on manners—she can be mouthy while playing and she will try to door-dash 🚪💨. Because of this, we don’t recommend her for homes with little kids.

✅ Doing well with crate & potty training (still a puppy, so expect a learning curve)
✅ Eats & sleeps in her crate — structure has been very good for her
✨ Friendly with cats & loves other dogs
✨ Needs a bulldog-savvy, financially stable home that understands the breed

⚡ Important Breed Notes:
• High-quality food and care is a must
• Air conditioning required — Frenchies overheat so easily
• Breed is more prone to costly medical issues → pet insurance is absolutely essential

Frenchies aren’t for everyone, but in the right home they’re the most loyal, lovable little clowns you’ll ever meet. 💕

🌸🐾 Meet Quanny – A Little Angel Looking for Her Forever Home 🐾🌸

Sometimes life changes in heartbreaking ways. Quanny’s beloved mom passed away suddenly, and while she’s being cared for this sweet girl is now searching for a loving forever home and we want it to be the best one who will help heal her grieving heart! 💕

✨ About Quanny
Quanny is a 7.5-year-old, tri-colored Pomeranian with the soul of a stage-five clinger and the heart of a loyal angel. She’s spayed, microchipped, and fully up to date on vaccines and flea meds etc.

She struts on a leash like it’s her personal runway, and for indoor emergencies, she daintily uses a p*e pad like the classy little lady she is. 🦊

🐾 Personality
• Loyal, affectionate, and always nearby—your shadow and your cheerleader
• Total people-pleaser who loves being the center of attention
• Mellow with boundaries—if you tell her it’s time to rest, she’ll curl up like a little fox and snooze
• Has main character energy in the sweetest way and thrives with a human who appreciates her diva crown 👑

🐶 Dog Compatibility
Quanny coexists beautifully with other small, calm dogs, but she doesn’t need canine friends to be happy. She would thrive as the only pup in a home where she can be queen, or with a low-key, non-drama dog who won’t challenge her spotlight.

🌟 Her Dream Home
Quanny would love a retiree, a work-from-home buddy, or anyone with a flexible schedule who doesn’t mind a loyal shadow. She would love a home that has at least a small yard or garden area to go outside to go potty but she will use potty pads in an emergency however, sunbathing and yard time would be appreciated daily for this little princess. Gentle older kids 10-12 should be fine. This little lady just wants her people to be around her. If you’re looking for unconditional devotion, endless entertainment, and a pom who will adore you like you hung the moon, Quanny might just be your girl.

✨🏡 Adopted! 🐾 Our sweet Dolly has found the most wonderful forever home — with a dear friend of one of our former adopters! 💕 We already knew her new mom would be amazing, and Dolly is going to have the best time playing with other dogs and living her very best life with her new family.

From scared on the streets to safe in loving arms, Dolly’s journey is what rescue is all about. Thank you to everyone who helped her along the way — she now has a full, happy life and the biggest smile to prove it. 🥹💖

✨ Barbie’s Big Update + A Little Help Needed if anyone bear Berkeley has any surgery recovery suits?!! ✨ It’s been a while since we’ve shared about Barbie, our little fighter who came to us from Contra Costa Animal Services as what we thought would be a short-term hospice case. She was riddled with tumors, had some lung issues, scary X-rays, and we honestly weren’t sure how much time she had.

Well, Barbie had other plans. 💜 Thanks to her incredible foster parents — who have been giving her ALLL the TLC, vet visits, and love she could dream of — this girl is thriving! She’s gained weight, is feeling herself, and is absolutely living her best life. She rarely coughs anymore, there’s no crackling or wheezing when the vets check her lungs, and she has become a bold, treat-loving, meal-demanding queen of the house. 👑

Her vets now believe she has plenty of time left to finish that bucket list — and maybe even start a new one! She’s expected to be cleared soon to get spayed and have her mammary tumors removed, because she’s clearly not going anywhere anytime soon.

Here’s where we need help:
Barbie will need some extra support after her upcoming surgery. If anyone in the Berkeley area has:
• Surgery recovery suits
• Dog diaper suspenders (to keep diapers on securely as she also went into heat!)

…we’d love to borrow or buy them to help keep her comfy and clean while she heals.

Thank you to everyone who’s cheered Barbie on — your love and support have helped her beat the odds and keep her sparkle shining bright! ✨

🐾 Meet Bugsy — The Mobster of Cuddles 🐾 10-14 mos old, 12 lbs, King Charles Spaniel x Pug x Chi! He must have another playful dog to be his bff 🐕 He loves cats and tries to play with them 🐈. He isn’t used to being alone and truly thrives when he has a furry buddy to snuggle and play with.

This sweet boy came from a hoarding case and is still learning the world. At first, he can be shy and a little unsure, but with patience he blossoms — goofy gremlin noises, sideways smirk, and all 💛. Although shy at first, loves people, bonds quickly, and is doing great with crate & potty training (just expect a learning curve in new places).

Bugsy especially loves small playful dogs, but with time he’s happily played and cuddled with bigger pups too. He enjoys cats (though he may paw at them to play or chase and annoy them as well) and he could do well with gentle, dog-savvy kids 10+.

📩 Ready to give Bugsy the cuddles & furry sibling he needs? Send an adoption app at www.K9ppr.org
(Detailed applications required to ensure the perfect match.)
