Safety Precautions
Are we still running?
As a dog rescue in the Quad Cities, K9 Kindness is in a unique position to be able to continue 'normal' operations.
Our volunteers and fosters continue to work from home practicing social distancing, even when taking our dogs to veterinary appointments. We continue these practices when doing home visits and adoptions. We are working together to make sure everyone is as safe as possible while we also try to continue to save dogs, who right now are being affected by all of this.
Personal hygiene and washing hands thoroughly as indicated by the CDC and WHO continues to be practiced before and after all interactions with our dogs and humans. All of our face to face fundraisers have been postponed until further notice, but please know that we depend on your support, financially, and in finding foster homes for our dogs as well as other ways, such as word of mouth and Facebook sharing of our dogs.
Please stay safe and continue to follow local, state and federal guidelines for this virus outbreak, as outlined by the CDC and WHO.
Thank you,
K9 Kindness Rescue, Inc.

Happy Tails
They're a waggin'
Muggles joined our family at two months of age in February of 2009 after being born in December of 2008 in a K9 Kindness foster home. They had rescued Muggles’ mother - Annie - and father - Aussie - after they were surrendered to the group. We are so blessed that Debbie ended up selected our home out of many applications to adopt Muggles. She is the most kind, gentle, happy dog I have ever experienced.

We adopted Arnie from K9 Kindness Rescue many years ago so that our other younger Boston Terrier would have someone to play with and our older dog could have a bit of a break. While he is not considered to be a "working breed" Arnie is diligent about going to work with me each day. Here is a photo of him working at his desk. We are so fortunate to have him in our lives.

We were drawn to Buster after viewing a video of him. He was a big lug, playing in the snow with tiny puppies. During the home visit I was apprehensive because he was a head taller sitting than our son was standing! But after he spent the next several minutes licking him we were sold! He's been the perfect addition to our family. He's approaching 10 years old and spends his days napping, snoring (loudly) and snuggling. He's just a big lover and we love him!

I was looking for a dog on Petfinder when I saw Molly. Next thing I knew, I was filling out the adoption paperwork. After a home inspection I met her at PetCo along with her foster mom. Love at first sight! She is such a blessing to me! We walk every day at her insistence. In winter we go to New Mexico and walk some more. She's brought adventure into my life with occasional rabbit or squirrel that dare venture into her yard. I love her to the moon and back!

Former adopter and mayor of Coralville, IA, John Lundell with one of the dogs he adopted from K9 Kindness. Wally was found in the parking lot of Wal-Mart in Davenport. A car was seen with someone dumping him and speeding off. And now he’s the co-first pup (with his sister, Muggles) of Coralville! Go Hawks!

Mable came to us from Sioux City, IA. She was not fond of other dogs, but quickly took over the household of her foster parents, who adopted Mabel. She now lives the good life in South Dakota, where her family moved a few months ago!

Debbie F.
Founder
Co-founded the organization in 2004 and for some reason has not lost all of her sanity yet. But we're working on it.
Kim P.
Executive Director
Kim is new to the pack but has shown a real drive and passion Ask her to do something, and she does it! Even if that means taking over the check book.
Kristina M.
Social Media/Foster Home Coordinator
Prefers her animals over people but still manages to handle it. Confused on why she's so good at reaching people when she'd rather hide from them.

About Us
We're crazy about dogs. Really. We love dogs, right down to the point that they boss us around. But likewise, our aim and goal is to make sure that they have loving and forever homes. We've been around the block and seen a lot of different fire hydrants. Including that REALLY yellow one. Ask your dog, he knows the one.
