Interested in helping the animals but unable to adopt? Below you will find several other ways you can assist k9.5 (even by simply shopping)!
DIRECT CARE
Fostering
k9.5 needs help in a variety of different ways. One thing always needed are foster homes. Foster homes participate in direct care for the animals, allowing them to live in the foster parent’s home until the animal is adopted into its forever family. They also assist in vet visits, adoption days, fundraisers and other activities. The main goal of a foster home, however, is to properly care for the animals and assist in any rehabilitation that is needed (e.g. house training, overcoming shyness). Quality foster homes are in great demand, as the animals need proper care and love by someone who is devoted to doing it. It also allows us to save more animals. It does take time and it does take work, but it is well worth it when you watch an animal come out of it’s shell, or even simply see how happy the animal is in a loving home vs. the cold, hard shelter, an abusive environment, or the streets. Click “Fostering Animals…What is it exactly?” to read our blog post and learn more details about fostering animals.

Monthly Giving

Sponsorships
Similar to monthly giving, sponsorship allows individuals to assist by donating a small amount monthly, contributing the to care of a specific animal or animals. Monetary donations can be made in varied increments, such as $10, $20, or $50. Once a month you can donate your desired amount, and continue to do so until the animal is adopted.
You may also sponsor an animal by donating a particular item monthly instead of money. This includes such things as a tube or box of flea and tick prevention, a dose or box of heartworm prevention (via our veterinarian), or a bag of food. These are things that are always used and necessary, and they would benefit the animal greatly.
If you would like to help by sponsoring one of our animals, please contact us at info@k95rescue.org and let us know how you would like to help and which animal you would like to sponsor. You may visit our Adoptable Animals and Sanctuary Pages to learn more about each one.
