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!

🐾 Look who’s recovering from her spay, is adoptable, and looking adora-bull as ever — it’s Ms. Buttercup! 💕 This sweet, snuggly little Frenchie is on the mend and thriving in foster care after a rough start to life. Her face and skin has healed up beautifully! Ms. Buttercup (aka Butters) is a 1-year-old, 15 lb French Bulldog with a sweet spirit and a heart that’s slowly learning to trust. She’s friendly, curious, and full of personality once she feels safe. Butters seems to now be pretty well crate trained and potty trained. She absolutely loves belly rubs, snuggles and enjoys her short sniffy walks. She’d do best in a calm, experienced home that understands the quirks of the breed and can continue helping her grow confident and secure.

💛🐾 Meet Ainsley: The Zoomie Queen with a Heart of Gold! 🐾💛

Introducing Ainsley — 13 pounds of pure drama, snuggles, and soul-staring intensity. At just 3 years old, this little lady has already lived a whole soap opera, complete with plot twists, betrayal (probably by humans), and a heroic comeback worthy of a standing ovation.

✔️ Crate and potty trained? Check. ✔️ Leash training? She’s working on it — think of her as a student at Hogwarts for Dogs: cautious but magical. ✔️ Good with other dogs? Oh yes — she’s the social butterfly at the bark park.

Ainsley is initially shy, especially around men (they’ve got some explaining to do), but with a little patience, she’ll melt like cheese on a hot pizza and give you all the love she’s been storing in her tiny, brave heart.

She’s a professional cuddler by night and a high-speed zoomie machine by morning. If you’ve ever wanted someone to look deep into your soul with warm, gooey eyes while resting her little head on your chest — congratulations, your soulmate might be a 13-pound dog.

💔 Ainsley survived a rough start (she was on the euthanasia list 😢), but she’s ready to trade her tragic backstory for belly rubs, treats, and a family who will love her forever.

Think you can keep up with the zoomies and the snuggles? Ainsley’s ready to audition you for the role of her forever human. 💖🐶

Jasmin is feeling SO much better! 💛🐾This little girl is finally coming back to life—she’s more active, playful, and starting to show her silly, sweet personality again. A huge heartfelt thank you to our vet Dr. Kevin at Animal Hospital Of Pittsburg for saving her life. We know this wasn’t an easy surgery and are so thankful. She’s barking at the fence (in the cutest way), snuggling up for love, and even trying to play with the other dogs. After everything she’s been through, seeing her act like a normal happy dog again is the best gift we could ask for. We truly couldn’t have saved her without your support. Your donations, shares, and kind words helped us get her the emergency surgery she so desperately needed. We still have a ways to go to fully cover her medical costs—but what matters most is that her life was saved. And now, Jasmin gets the chance she always deserved.If you’d like to help us continue her care or support more dogs like her, please donate or share:👉 www.k9ppr.org/donateThank you for helping us change her story. 💛

🐾 Meet Pinky Paloma! 💕
This petite 6-lb Chihuahua is 8 years young and full of gentle charm once she feels safe.

Pinky is a shy little lady who needs a calm, patient home and a confident small dog companion to help her feel secure. She’s fearful of people at first (men and women), but with time, belly rubs, and snuggles, she starts to trust especially with women. Once she feels safe, she’ll melt into you and even offer sweet hand kisses.

Pinky is:
🐶 Good with other small dogs (must go to a home with one!)
🛋 A couch cuddler and blanket burrower
🚶‍♀️ A slow, sniffy walker or a happy camper in a chest carrier
💩 Working on potty habits (she prefers pads or cement…no grass, please!)
🦷 On a soft food diet (she only has a few teeth left!)

While Pinky still shows submissive, fearful behaviors, she’s made incredible progress and just needs someone who understands that love sometimes takes time. She came into rescue with her buddy Piper and would love a home with another sweet, calm pup like her.

Meet Piper! 💕
This tiny 7-pound sweetheart is the definition of golden girl charm. At around 8-ish years old (a lady never reveals her true age!), Piper is a professional napper, snack enthusiast, and expert in the art of slow walks with maximum sniff time.

She’s house trained, uses the doggy door like a pro, and while she’s not a lap dog, she loves attention — belly rubs, gentle pets, and hanging out by your side during movie night. And yes, she’ll follow you into the kitchen… you know, just in case snacks are involved. 🍿🐾

Senior dogs like Piper make the best companions — they’re mellow, loving, and full of personality. Piper is looking for a calm, cozy forever home where she can enjoy her retirement years in peace, warmth, and love.

Think you could be her perfect match? 💛

Great news — and a frustrating reality — for our little rescue.
Jasmin made it through emergency surgery. 💛 Our vet was stunned by the sheer number and size of bladder stones—amounting to 5% of her entire body weight. Her tiny bladder was dangerously stretched, and the stones had even begun backing up into her kidneys. She’s finally on the road to recovery and, for the first time in years, will soon be pain-free.

But here’s the hard truth: Jasmin was returned to us by adopters facing legitimate personal hardships—but they claimed she was healthy and well cared for. In reality, she hadn’t seen a vet once in all the many years they had her. Not even a basic exam that could’ve caught her painful condition early. We stand by our dogs, so of course we stepped into help.

She came back to us as a senior, straining to urinate, bleeding, and clearly in abdominal pain. Her nails were so overgrown they have deformed and atrophied her feet, making it painful to walk—even after trimming. This didn’t happen overnight. This is what long-term neglect looks like.

Our vet, who has done many of these surgeries, said he’s never seen such a severe case in a dog this small. He’s kindly trying to reduce the cost because of how upsetting this situation is.

We’re a small, all-volunteer rescue. THANKS to your donations, we made it this far. But this cost will deeply impact how many more dogs we can help this year and will take us some time to recover from.

This is why basic vet care matters. This is why our screening process exists, but unfortunately, it’s not always 100% effective. We are so grateful to everyone who chooses to adopt, but it’s important to remember that adopting also means committing to veterinary care.

To all those who’ve donated and shared, we THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.

🚨 Emergency Help Needed to Save Her Life 🚨

We are urgently asking for help. This sweet girl is in critical condition and needs emergency surgery right away. Her bladder is dangerously full of stones, stretched beyond what it can handle, and now backing up into her kidneys. Without immediate surgery, she won’t survive.

We just lost one of our medical rescues and we are heartbroken. We can’t lose another. 💔

Our little volunteer-run rescue is already stretched beyond our limits — most of our funds come directly from our volunteers’ own pockets. We’ve already spent everything we have on her critical care and diagnostics, as well as the ongoing care for all of our rescue dogs.

The animal rescue crisis is very real. So many small rescues are closing because of the overwhelming number of animals in need and the rising cost of veterinary care. We are doing everything we can to keep going, but right now — we are drowning.

If you can help, in ANY amount, please know it could save her life.

🙏 Donate at www.K9ppr.org or pm us for other options such as Zelle etc. 🙏

Please share. Please help.
