Do You Have Room For Me?
My name is Flynn, or Finn, really whichever you prefer! My foster family misspelled my name once and it kind of stuck... Po-tay-toe, po-tah-toe.
I was found running around up by Chicago and got stuck at a kennel. The volunteers there were working REALLY hard to save me from euthanasia. Kim from K9 Kindness fell in love with me and knew she couldn't let me die, I'm really grateful for people like Kim.
I like other dogs, I like cats, I like kids, I'm kennel trained, I'm house trained... I don't know what else I could be that would make me any better. Everyone here thinks I'm perfect.
Sometimes I get over excited and I tinkle.. I wish I didn't but I can't help it! With the right home and training I know it can be avoided. I'm tired of not having a family of my very own.. I just want someone to love for the rest of my life.. I'm a great best friend.
Do you have space for a guy like me? I'd really like to meet you!

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.
Ellonyia Y, Bettendorf, IA
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!
Sara L, Davenport, IA
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!
Carol S, Morrison, IL
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!
John L, Coralville, IA
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.
President
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.
If you have questions about other stuff or just want to inquire about our day to day stuff, please feel free to use the contact form on the left.
