Special Needs K9, Inc. is comprised of members, officers and volunteers. Specializing in rescue and aid to special needs dogs and other animals, our purpose and goal does not stop there. We are advocates against mistreatment of any animals, for their well-being and survival. Special Needs K9 finances medical procedures, treatments and purchases equipment that provides aid to disabled or otherwise affected animals. We find foster and forever homes for the ones that are difficult to adopt due to their disabilities. We also hire professionals to train dogs in animal shelters to help with certain behavioral issues that might have developed by being “locked up” in an undesirable environment for long periods of time.

Whether a dog, a cat, or another animal has physical, medical or other special needs, some of which can be fully corrected and some can be corrected at least to a point that gives them a chance to live. A dog that has only two legs or one that is blind, do not have to be euthanized. We will get them wheels, we will take them to an eye specialist and we will place them in a home where they receive the love and care they deserve. We will continue to assist the owners of a rescued special needs pet if they don’t have the funds, but as long as they have the heart.

These wonderful creatures were put on this earth to give us unconditional love and companionship. Unfortunately, some humans are not as giving as their pets. Some of the pets are tortured or neglected, some get sick or injured, and in many cases they are “thrown” away into shelters, or even worse, they are euthanized. This is where we step in and make a difference. They give us so much, and we should at the very least give them a chance.
