About Us
We’re All Volunteer Based
K-9 Lifesavers is an all-volunteer, approved 501(c)(3), private non-profit rescue group, dedicated to saving the lives of homeless and abandoned dogs from high-kill shelters, and other high-risk situations. We rescue dogs and puppies from high- kill shelters and high-risk situations in Alabama, Georgia, West Virginia, the Carolina’s, Tennessee, Alabama, Texas and Kentucky, where dogs are only held anywhere from three to seven days before euthanasia.
We Care and It Shows
We serve as a support group to our adopters and all dog owners by providing ongoing education and resources for the well-being of their dogs, including the importance of proactive spay/neuter policies, positive reinforcement training, and good nutrition. We welcome you to explore our website, view our Adoptable Dogs, and all that we have to offer, then please join us in our continuing efforts to give them a second chance at life.
Our Impact
In just the past year we have placed over 800 dogs in their forever homes and have provided heart worm treatment for over 100 dogs. Each month we incur the cost of at least one unplanned surgery and make weekly visits to the emergency vet to treat a wide range of unforeseen issues. Please consider donating to help those pups in need of some extra care and support.
Our Fosters Make A Huge Difference
We do not have a shelter facility and hold adoption events every weekend, throughout the DC Metro area. K-9 Lifesavers works with dedicated volunteer foster homes, local veterinarians, trainers, and doggie daycare/kenneling facilities to provide loving temporary care while we find well-matched, carefully screened forever homes for each dog.
