Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a safe, loving environment for dogs in need, helping them find their forever homes while educating the community about responsible pet ownership and animal welfare. We focus on rescuing dogs and puppies from high-kill shelters from areas in the US where dogs are typically held for only three to seven days before euthanasia.
At K-9 Lifesavers, we believe dogs deserve a loving family and a chance to thrive. Our team of compassionate volunteers and foster families work tirelessly to rescue and care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages.
