ATT: We will be at Petco this weekend however we will be leaving SUnday at 4:30PM so come prior to that!!! Help us help the dogs by ADOPTING*FOSTERING*VOLUNTEERING*FUNDRAISING*DONATING
If you can't adopt or foster would you like to sponsor a dog going back and forth to the kill shelter? or one being in foster for a long time? If so please you may Paypal or mail a donation which is tax deductible! The dogs in the kill shelters would love the GIFT OF LIFE this holiday! IF YOU NEED A TAX WRITE OFF PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO THE RESCUE. You can help by fostering as otherwise we are unable to save more dogs in kill shelters. We need reliable fosters that will see them through until they are adopted. Some aren't housebroken, some may need manners and some may bicker with your dog, and some are about perfect. We provide the crate, food, leash, collar etc for you to house them. Without fosters they are doomed... Help us help the innocent dogs that people have created problems and early death for please......
Read all the way to the bottom and then click on please see here to see dogs to adopt to see a great group the shelters are bringing! See you soon!
Who We Are
Kimber's Kritters is a small 501(c)(3) Non-Profit No-KILL Animal Rescue that rescues many dogs from kill shelters. Many are medically needy, puppy mill, hoarding, and special needs that are overlooked. In the state of Tennessee an owner surrender can be immediately put to sleep at a shelter if surrendered and otherwise 3 days. We receive no government funds nor corporate sponsorships although we welcome them. We need FOSTER HOMES,VOLUNTEERS, FUNDRAISERS, AND GRANTWRITERS!! Scroll down to view dogs! We are located in Middle TN. Any donations either monetary or supplies are tax deductible and a receipt will be furnished upon request. The board members, volunteers, and fosters range from retiree's and housewives to teachers and attorneys...all are welcome and needed to help :) Many have children that involved the parent in helping...it's great for children! We all believe the pet abuse and neglect needs remedied. We are shelterless and have foster homes all over! If you travel alot, can't afford a dog, just want a playmate for your dog or just have room in your heart and home to foster it's a great way to ad an extra pet with no charge to you. We provide a kennel, toys, food and medical care. You get a tax deduction for mileage to and from events etc. We pull dogs from high kill facilities all over the south that are about to be put to sleep. We rescue alot of Pit Bulls, mixed breeds, the medically needy (and from the general public as space in foster homes permits). Facilities call us when no one else wants the dog prior to putting the dog to sleep. We can only take as many as we have foster homes for :( The rescue then pays ALL the vetting and finds the dog a home :) When ONE dog is adopted we tell a facility they can send us another dog being put to sleep. In essence, you actually save TWO dogs lives when you adopt ONE dog!! We totally depend on our volunteers & fosters as there are NO PAID employee's. We need YOU to open your home to a dog we've saved, quarantined and that is ready for YOUR love and help to find his/her fairy tale home!! Someone wrote saying they bet this was profitable... Emotionally yes when you get them in their new awesome home..financially everyone involved is always in the hole! At a vet you would pay the following: Spaying/Neutering is around $100 +, Rabies $15, DHAPP Vaccine $30, office visit $35 +, fecal $15, deworming $30, heartworm test $35, heartworm treatment $300+, bordatella vaccine $20, many times we have to pay transportation fee's in addition to what the vets charge us! Our adoption fee is $175 unless they have had a dental, heartworm treatment etc and then it's higher. Unlike many rescues we DON'T charge a higher adoption fee as we have a purebred for adoption like some do. This is a total nonprofit rescue! The board members,volunteers and fosters do not make a dime. Our goal is no homeless pets where they are spayed and neutered and none are abused. Then all the rescues, shelters, fosters etc would be out of business :) Pet abuse and neglect is everyone's problem.
Future Plans & Goals
We would love to meet someone up north that would like to be involved in rescue. Thedogs would be pre-adopted prior to coming up. We just need a contact and possibly short term fosters in case a new home didn't work out and people to do homechecks. If you can help with fundraising,grantwriting, a new website, logo etc please contact us...... "Together we can make a difference for the animals"
