Ways to Donate
“Adopt, if you can’t adopt, foster, if you can’t foster, volunteer, if you can’t volunteer, donate, if you can’t donate, educate”
At K-9 Lifesavers, we believe loving dogs deserve a chance at a loving home. We exist solely on donations, fundraising and giving events to continue our mission. We look to help dogs and puppies by pulling them from high-kill animal shelters to help them survive and thrive, but these costs for ongoing support and care add up pretty quickly. And, as an all-volunteer organization with no government resources, we truly depend on the kindness of others to help us help dogs.
Please consider making a donation, one time or recurring, to support our work—it’s not possible without you and no amount is too small!
Make a One Time Donation
As a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, we depend on donations to help save dogs’ lives. K-9 Lifesavers provides veterinary care to many helpless shelter dogs that would otherwise be euthanized. All of our dogs receive appropriate routine care such as vaccines, de-wormings, heartworm testing, and spays and neuters (7 months and older).
We are are proud of being one of the few rescues in the DC area to include the spaying and neutering of all adult dogs in adoption fees.
Join the Monthly Giving Club
Your continuous support of K9 Lifesavers allows us to provide care and rescue for even more dogs in need! For the cost of four fancy coffee drinks per month, your consistent aid will give us the ability to rely on steady donations for the cause. Thank you for joining the Club and providing another lifeline!
Donations for Dogs
Every week, we are asked to save hundreds of dogs by our shelter partners. Sadly, we can only save a small fraction of the dogs that are sent our way. The majority of dogs we are asked to take are young, healthy, sweet, good with other dogs and people and ready-made family members. They would all find wonderful homes IF we could just find the space and resources to get them up here.
It costs us between $100-$150 to transport a dog from the south to the DC area and another $100-$150 to get them fully vetted and fixed (and that doesn’t even include heartworm treatments and medical emergencies). Every week, we would like to save just a couple more, IF WE ONLY HAD THE RESOURCES.
This is where you come in. Please, help us save more lives by making a tax deductible donation to help offset the cost to rescue one of these wonderful dogs and/or help with their extra medical bills. Below are a handful of amazing dogs that we would like to save this week and that are running out of time in overcrowded shelters. Please, donate to a specific dog and help us bring him/her to safety before their time runs out. Every donation will save the life of a specific animal and any donations over the amount needed will be applied to others in need.
Please, consider a tax-deductible donation today to help these animals. They deserve a family and forever home. Please be a LIFESAVER!
