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.

This is one of the reasons I do what I can to help our pups. I’m truly a dog person.
I know you, my rescue partners are the same.
We are built different.

Big changes can bring big feelings... Razz is on the mend and will soon be ready for his forever family once he’s a bit more recovered. After a matted fluffy dog is completely shaved down and fixed, they are allowed to have some big feelings about it.. Huge thanks to for helping him start fresh to where he finally isn’t crawling with fleas or having matts pull his skin.

Little lady, don't worry; we are scheduled to retrieve you later today. Paula Abdul, a 12-year-old senior dog, is experiencing fear and confusion at the shelter, resulting in nipping behavior with her limited remaining teeth. The presence of senior dogs in shelters is a heartbreaking yet all-too-common scenario; however, through collaborative efforts, we can rescue some deserving animals together. Many senior dogs that end up in shelters were once cherished companions of elderly individuals who passed away or had to move to assisted living facilities that do not allow dogs, with no provisions made for the animal's care. It is essential for everyone to have a plan in place for their animals, regardless of how unlikely it seems that something may go wrong; we witness this scenario daily, and the results are devastatingly bleak in reality. Often, people assume their animal won't fall through the cracks, resulting in the animal's life being lost in a shelter. Thank you to all who follow us, volunteer, foster, adopt, and donate when they can.

Meet Ladybug 🐞💗 Our sweetest little dachshund–Chi mix who is fully prepared for snuggle season — pink jammies and all! This snug bug has perfected the art of couch cuddles, quiet companionship, and loving her human with her whole heart.

It’s officially cozy-weather time, and Ladybug is so ready to be someone’s personal snuggle buddy. She absolutely lives for soft blankets, warm laps, and spending her days curled up with her person.

Because let’s be real… puppy love isn’t just for puppies — older dogs give the most loyal, gentle, and grateful love you’ll ever find. 💕

If you’ve been wishing for a tiny, loyal cuddle bug to keep you warm this winter, Ladybug is your girl.
✨ If you’d like to meet her, apply at K9PPR.org ✨

Today, we want to express our thanks and gratitude for the unsung heroes who make a difference in the lives of dogs in need - our volunteers, fosters, adopters, and supporters. Macy Gray, a timid project dog, is a shining example of the impact of kindness. With the help of a dedicated foster, she's learning to trust, walk on a leash, and play. As she gains confidence, adoption interest is growing, and we're hoping we may have found her a patient and loving forever home. Fears don't define her; her capacity to love does. It’s been beautiful to see her make strides after her being so shut down at contra costa animal shelter.

Zane the Fluffy Bully mix has been MIA from our ads for a while. Thats because he found his furrrever BFF in his foster dad, who decided to make it official and adopt him. Zane is such a cool dog, hes going to help other foster dogs get their act together and live a wonderful life. Sometimes foster fails are meant to be!

🌟 Meet Lady Bug! 🌟
This tiny 11-lb queen of cuteness is looking for her throne (aka your couch). 👑🛋️

🐞 Age: About 7 years young
🏡 Personality: Sweet, snuggly, smart, and slightly dramatic when the mailman walks by.

Lady Bug is the full package:
✔️ Couch buddy pro
✔️ Lawn aeration specialist (aka back-kicking enthusiast
✔️ Certified morning dancer 🕺🌞
✔️ Low-volume barker... except for delivery drivers (she’s got standards)
She’s a little shy with strangers at first—a bark, a growl—but give her a few minutes and she’s all tail wags and love. 💕

Lady Bug prefers warm places where she can sunbathe. She does well with other dogs, could care less about cats, and would be happiest with gentle kiddos 10+.

She came to us as a stray, and she’s clearly ready to give her whole heart to someone who helps her build confidence and lets her stay close (very close—personal space? never heard of it.)

🐾 If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, occasionally sassy sidekick, Lady Bug might just be your ride-or-die.

Let's extend a warm welcome to Chestnut 🌰, a sweet senior gal who has joined our Rescue. One of our fosters discovered this endearing little face and immediately knew she had to bring her home from the Solano Shelter. Her life is about to take a significant turn for the better. Isn't she precious?!
