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!

Here she is, Ainsley! This beauty is ready for her forever home. Coming in at 3yrs young and 13 pounds. She is crate and potty trained. Doing ok with leash training and learning to trust humans again. She takes a bit to warm up to new people and is initially more fearful with men, but warms up with patience and shows them all love she has to offer. Ainsley enjoys playing with other dogs and being the center of attention. She enjoys doing zoomies especially early in the morning and when you come home. Loves to cuddle with you at night and will lay her head on your chest and look deep into your soul with her beautiful loving eyes. We suspect Ainsley was victim to abuse and was on the euthanasia list and so we are looking for a great forever family for her.

Ayla is still waiting for her forever home 🤍

This sweet, small, 5.4 pound black chi mix has so much love to give. This little furball is full of love, cuddles and endless affection. With her playful personality and gentle nature, she’s the perfect companion for anyone looking for a new best friend. Whether you’re playing fetch in the yard or curling up on the couch for movie night, Ayla will bring endless happiness into your home. She is fully potty and crate trained. Loves her adventures in her human’s purse/ sling and walks/runs on the beach.

Ayla came to us as a stray and it’s evident from her behavior of needing to be close to her person, she will need confidence building. She has a hard time separating from her human. So she would need someone who understands her anxious personality. The ideal person would be retired or works from home or could take her to work with them.

If you’re ready for a small, loyal companion to fill your heart with love, this little black pup might just be the one for you!

Meet Charlie Girl! This 1.5-year-old, 60 lb Lab mix is the definition of happy-go-lucky! Full of playful puppy energy, Charlie is crate and leash trained, doing great with potty training, and loves kids (best with dog experienced kids 5+ due to her excitement).

She adores belly rubs, long walks, and doggy playtime—though she may be too much for low-energy dogs. Charlie would thrive in an active home, especially with a very playful dog buddy and someone committed to continuing her basic training. She tends to be far too much dog for other dogs who aren’t super playful.

Betty seeks active home with lots of playtime! This young, terrier-y Malti-Poo mix is cute as can be—but don’t be fooled, she’s not just a lap dog! Betty is sweet, loving, and cuddly and she’s full of playful energy.

Sometimes people don’t read the bios fully, and that’s been the case with Betty—she’s definitely not going to be a fit for someone who wants a calm lap dog, so we’re still searching for the home who is a perfect match for her young silly active and playful personality.

About Betty B.:
• Dog-friendly and has lived with cats (though she may pester them a bit)
• May bark at new people but warms up—would benefit from confidence-building
• Potty trained
• Loves walks and playtime
• About 10 lbs of spunky cuteness
• Escape artist!! Needs a secure home (no small kids who might leave doors open)

Ideal home?
One with active humans and playful pup friends to keep her engaged and happy! Gentle older kids are fine too!

Please share- this is our friends precious furry family member: *Still no sightings of Shelbie....
We are missing one of our own and could really use your help!
"Shelbie" went missing from her home on Oak Grove Rd in Oakley Sunday morning about 4:40am.
She is a very sweet older girl, but is incredibly shy of strangers and likely will not be approachable, but may come to you if you squat/sit down and softly call her name. She is non-aggressive and very people/dog/cat friendly.
Shelbie is wearing a pink collar with her name and owners phone number: she is microchipped and contact info is current. She is not wearing an air tag, so unfortunately cannot be tracked (we will now highly recommend air tag collars in addition to microchips).
Shelbie was last spotted at the WTF Restaurant and The Amazon Warehouse near the Antioch Bridge on Sunday afternoon between 1:00 and 3:30. It is believed she followed the trail from Creekside Park.
At this point she could be anywhere between Oakley, Brentwood, Antioch or Bethel Island and we are at a loss of where she could be!!
Shelbie is likely very confused, frightened, hungry, thirsty and tired!
If you do spot her, please reach out to us immediately!
We have posted her info to all our partners: Fido Alert - East Contra Costa County , Doggy911 East County (K911) , Nextdoor app, Ring App and local community pages and we check shelter intakes frequently.
Thank you so much, she means the world to us!!

Update- Found! Our Bonnie and Clyde are on the run!! They jumped a fence in the Via dora & hillcrest area of Antioch. If you see them please contact us 925-899-5901. They do love treats and a sweet bonded dogs. Please share! Fido Alert - East Contra Costa County Doggy911 East County (K911)

Meet Lyla – the Adora-BULL Blue Baby!This sweet little blue pibble is 7 months old, around 32 lbs, and has ALL the puppy charm you could ever want! Lyla is playful, wiggly, smart, and seriously in need of a doggy BFF. She thrives with other pups and would LOVE a playful medium to large dog to show her the ropes, be her partner-in-zoomies, and give her the companionship she craves.

Lyla was found as a starving stray, but she’s come such a long way – she’s gaining weight, feeling better, and showing us more of her happy, affectionate, silly self every day. She’s got so much love to give, especially to another dog! She’s crate trained, knows “sit” and “shake,” and is working hard on her leash skills and potty training. She still has some accidents if not let out regularly, but she’s doing so well for a young pup.

Lyla loves dogs, and does live with cats – she tries to play with them (and maybe annoys them a little), but she genuinely just wants to be friends.All K9PPR dogs are up to date on vaccines, spayed, microchipped, dewormed, and on flea prevention prior to adoption.Please consider giving this little sweetheart the forever home she deserves – ideally one with a furry sibling! Apply to adopt at www.K9ppr.org and share to help Lyla find her family!

Meet Amaya – Your New Adventure Buddy & Snuggle Queen! Please share to find her a home! Looking for a pup who’s equal parts smart, sweet, and snuggly? Meet Amaya, a 1-year-old Border Collie/Terrier mix with the brains, energy, and heart to melt yours.

This medium-sized sweetheart weighs just 25–28 lbs—perfect for both lap cuddles and trail adventures. She’s a sensitive soul with a playful spirit, loves belly rubs, and gives the best hugs. Whether you’re out exploring or settling in for a cozy movie night, Amaya will be right by your side.

Why You’ll Love Amaya:
• Incredibly smart—used the doggy door on Day 1!
• Full of playful energy—would thrive learning tricks and doing training games
• Potty training is going great
• Loves toys, long walks, and mental enrichment
• A champion cuddler and snack enthusiast (puzzle feeders recommended!)
• Friendly with other dogs
• Spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and on flea prevention

Ideal Home:
Amaya will blossom in a loving, patient home that understands the needs of a smart, active working breed mix. She’s still learning some basic skills and manners, but with consistency and positive training, she’ll thrive.

She tends to gulp her food—possibly from past food insecurity—so she’d benefit from a slow feeder bowl or being fed via Kongs or puzzle toys. Right now, she should be fed in her crate, away from other dogs, as she may guard her food.

Crate training is still a new experience for her, but she’s making steady progress with baby steps and going in on her own now and getting used to it. With the right support, she’s going to shine.

Amaya hasn’t been tested with cats or children yet, but her curious and playful nature suggests she could be a wonderful companion for the right match.

NETWORKING/ DONATIONS NEEDED FOR SENIOR CHI LADY BUG!

Friends, meet Lady Bug—a sweet senior girl who needs our help right now. She has a painfully neglected mouth that’s in desperate need of dental surgery, and she also needs to be spayed, and has some resolving skin issues etc. This poor girl has clearly been through a lot but has the brightest happiest soul! And is just so affectionate and pure love so we want nothing more than to give her all the comfort and care she deserves.

Dental neglect in dogs isn’t just painful—it can lead to heart disease and life-threatening complications. Sadly, dental care is also one of the most expensive parts of rescuing senior pups like Lady Bug.

We know it’s going to take a team effort to get her healthy, but if we all chip in—even just a few dollars—we can make a huge difference in her life. Our rescue is 100% volunteer-run, so every single dollar goes directly toward the dogs in our care.

Can you help Lady Bug today?
Please consider donating or pledging toward her vet care:

Donate here:
http://paypal.me/K9PawPrintRescue
Or here:
https://www.k9pawprintrescue.org/donate/

You can also DM us for other donation options.

Let’s rally together and give Lady Bug the second chance she deserves. No amount is too small! Freedom photos coming soon—we’re hoping to get her out of the shelter today!

Pls share and network- Thank you for being part of her rescue journey!

Love match made- Our shy Buddy has found his family and warmed up to them all right away❣️

04/03/2025

ADOPTED! Say hello to Gangum—our newest fluffy heartthrob! The sweetest boy who just joined our rescue family. He’s already been through so much in his short life—found at a shelter in a bag with a phone charger cord around his neck, dehydrated and dangerously underweight. But despite it all, he’s a fighter with a heart full of love.

Now safe and cared for, Gangum is learning he’ll never go hungry or thirsty again. He still gets anxious about meals and devours everything in sight (slow feeders help!), but we’re seeing amazing progress.

Estimated to be 1–2 years old, Gangum has an incredible temperament. He’s friendly, affectionate, and loves everyone—people and dogs alike. While listed as a Pomeranian, we think he’s more of an American Eskimo mix—he’s got the fluff to back it up! He should weigh around 17-20 lbs, but came in at just 9! He’s now up to 13 and gaining steadily in his foster home.

We’re still working on some potty training—he drinks lots of water, which is common in dogs who were previously deprived—but his bloodwork and x-rays look great, and he’s otherwise healthy and thriving.

Gangum is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed (twice!), and on flea prevention. All he needs now is a forever home.

Think you’re his perfect match? Fill out an adoption application at www.K9ppr.org and tell us all about yourself—we want this to be a true love story!

Don't worry scared girl, your life is about to get so much better! Amaya has been really scared at the shelter, letting people hold her but too afraid to take a step. We can't wait to see her come out of her shell as she learns to trust her foster family.
