Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals

Mission: k9.5 is committed to saving and protecting animals facing euthanasia, abandonment, disaster, or life as a stray and placing them in dedicated, caring homes for the remainder of their lives. As a rescue we are devoted to granting proper and complete veterinary, behavioral and emotional support in order to give the animals the protection and care that they deserve. We offer a chance for animals most often ignored due to size, breed, health, age or appearance, promoting more awareness of the variety of animals in need, while providing the animals with a renewed life. With love, commitment, and public education, we strive to end overpopulation, as well as end unacceptable care or abuse in the lives of animals.
