LOST CATS REWARD

If you are interested in Fostering, please send me an email.

Stumpy

Stumpy is a super sweet orange and white tabby. He was dumped at the Marathon Gas Station in Crittinden, Kentucky on Thangsgiving weekend. He's too sweet to just be a farm cat. He's good w/other cats, doesn't see to fear dogs (that can be very bad), and he loves, just loves attention, and he's a great mouser!

If I don't have what you're looking for, check out Grant County Animal Shelter

If you are looking for a wonderful companion in the Northern Kentucky area, please check out the Grant Country Humane Society located on Barnes Road in Williamstown, Kentucky. They do have to euthanize animals when the shelter is full (and because it's a rural shelter they're full alot of the time). So unfortunatly many poor animals, dogs/cats, kittens and puppies are put to sleep through no fault of their own. They are currently over loaded with puppies and kittens of all shapes and sizes, and some pure bred dogs and cats!

Informational Background

I'm a Self Taught Behaviorist as well as a Dog Trainer (puppy clases through advanced). All of the animals you see on my site are looking for their forever home. When you adopt a pet from me, you adopt me as a resource for the life of your pet.

How did they Come to be Posted here

Some of the dogs listed here are because their owners didn't do all of their homework before buying a their pet. Due to the owner having health problems they can no longer care or handle their dogs. The Basenjis and Thai Ridgebacks that are listed on this site are here because I'm the rescue coordinator for the Basenji Club of Cincinnati and the Association of Thai Ridgeback Owners & Fanciers. Many are here, just because I felt that I could help them find a better more educated home. Some are just looking for a new leash on life, after being rescued/saved from kill shelters. All animals are fully rehabilitated before they ever come up for adoption.

Who We Are

CCK9s has been rescuing homeless pets since 1983, I started out finding kittens new homes when I was still living at home with my parents. It's a one woman opperation here I started rescuing dogs in the early 1990's. In 1998 I had a rescue hit closer to home than anyone would have expected. Toby was one of my Basenjis that was sold to a pet home; only to find out that the new owners burned him with cigarettes. I rescued and rehabilitated him, and he is the reason I still do rescue today.

Special Thanks

I would like to thank Miamitown Pet Hospital and its staff (513-353-1229) for vetting all of my own dogs as well as my foster dogs. They are Angels in my book. I would also like to extend a big thank you to Elizabeth Akers & Kate Zimmer of Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue in California for saving many Thai Ridgebacks and fostering them until we can find them a home.

Adopting a friend

I personally believe dogs that are rescued become more than a pet to any person, they are forever grateful that you have saved their life and have given them a second chance at happiness. Here at CCK9s I'm always available to help the new adopters through troubled times and if every thing else fails, I do take the dogs that were adopted from me back. After all, I love all of the dogs that have come through my house.

Donations Greatly Appreciated

What are Donations needed for?

Donations are needed to cover the costs of veterinary bills, vaccinations and needed surgeries (spays/neuters). Any donation, regardless of how small is greatly appreciated. If you would like to send donations directly to our Veterinarian, please feel free to contact us, and we will be more than happy to supply you w/that information. Thanks in advance for your help!

Helpful Hints!

I'm currently full, and can not take in any more dogs, please check with other non-kill rescues/shelters. Thanks.
IF YOU LIVE IN AN APARTMENT, PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR LAND LORD BEFORE EVEN CONSIDERING ADOPTION OF ANY DOG. THANK YOU! CCK9s!

Those Who Have Crossed Over the Rainbow Bridge

Hope was a six month old, yellow, Thai Ridgeback puppy. She was found at a Home Depot in Rosenberg, Texas hiding in fear under a car. The shelter local shelter had her for two weeks, praying that her owners would come and save her. Unfortunately for Hope her luck had ran out; we got our information too late about this little girl, and she was put to sleep on July 19, 2005. Hope is now in a loving place for she has passed over the Rainbow Bridge.
