K9's for Keeps

Dog rescue in Wilmington, NC

We are volunteers dedicated to providing a safe, loving, and permanent home for all companion animals. We believe that a world which shows empathy toward animals will show more compassion and tolerance toward each other.

We are an organization funded through donations by people like you. We do not operate a sheltering facility. Instead, we recruit foster parents who take dogs and puppies into their private homes until permanent, forever homes are found.

Additional adoption info

Please call for more info and an adoption contract.

All of the animals available for adoption have received age appropriate vaccination and have been spayed or neutered and dewormed. If appropriate they have received booster vaccinations as well. They will also be microchipped. Our adoption fees are:

Puppies - $175
Dogs - $150
While we spend much more than this on our rescued animals, these fees give us some help in caring for all the animals which we keep until adopted.
