The life you save, may just save your life someday.
Two dogs that I rescued from kill shelters have gone on to save my life on two different occassions. Bruiser (a Thai Ridgeback) who's now made history by being the first for his breed to become a Service Dog, saved me in October of 2004 from a rattlesnake. On November 6, 2009 a Boxer named Pheobe (who was overlooked by many potential adopters, because she was an adult dog), saved me from choking on a grape. I believe that rescued animals know who saved them, and will return the favor when called upon.Donations
If you would like to make a donation to help pay for vet bills that have accrued over the years for vetting and spaying of dogs rescued (adoption fees do not always cover all vetting costs); you can contact Miamitown Pet Hospital directly at 513-353-1229 and tell them it's for Cathy Combs' dogs. It would be GRACIOUSLY APPRECIATED this holiday season, and alwyas!
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?

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.
