“We’ve always had a wonderful experience with K9EI. We had a great experience personally with our foster to adopt kitten, Lola. We needed to make sure it would work with our dog before we adopted and we did! She’s a perfect fit for our family.” Randy Patinka, Adopter

Testimonials
“Please consider fostering or volunteering with K9 Enrichment Initiative they are committed to placing all dogs in their care in the best homes. They provide all medical, supplies and food for your foster. Fostering saves lives one dog at a time and is so rewarding. I am so pleased to be working with such a great group of dedicated individuals.”~ Mary Field, Foster
“Our baby Bentley came to us via K9. He was one of 8 puppies that had a rough start. We went through a phone interview and a visit. We got to meet him and two of his siblings. We fell in love with Bentley and started the foster to adopt process. The rescue took care of him when he was sick, paid for the neuter and other vet needs. Whenever we had a question, the rescue was there for us. We thank them for allowing us to have our Bentley and we hope you find your family pet soon too.”~Tiara Perez, Adopter
