Who We Are

We are a group of people who have come together working in the shelter and rescue world. We have a combined experience of over 30 years in the animal world. We started by saving dogs from puppy mills and puppy mill auctions, taking the ones that were unwanted, to give them a chance at a loving home which they have never had. We also take in homeless dogs or dogs that are deemed not adoptable by shelters to give them a safe haven where they will receive medical care, nutrition and love until an approved home is found. They are rescued from situations ranging from the lack of care and supervision, starvation and abuse. Luv4K9s wants to reduce the number of unwanted pets by altering all dogs in our re-homing program, to educate the public about the importance of altering pets, and explain that owning a pet is a LIFELONG commitment . Luv4K9s of Dayton, Ohio is run entirely by volunteers. Luv4K9s receives no government support and operates with funds generated by adoption fees, fundraising and generous donations from concerned animal lovers.

Adopting a friend

Email us for an application to begin the adoption process. Once we receive it back we will review it and get back with you. This could take a couple of days but we will get back with you as soon as we possibly can.

We will adopt out of state but you MUST come here to meet the pet and finalize the adoption in person. Our adoption area is OHIO, KENTUCKY AND INDIANA. WE WILL ALSO CONSIDER CERTAIN AREAS OF MICHIGAN, WEST VIRGINIA AND PENNSYLVANIA. WE DO NOT SHIP NOR ARRANGE TRANSPORTS. Our adoption fee is $200.00 which includes spay/neuter, routine shots, rabies, worming, microchipped, heartworm testing,and they are on monthly preventative.

Some of our dogs come with papers from the original owners. We cannot guarantee the papers we receive on each dog have not been altered. We rely on the honesty of the people we rescue our dogs from.

Remember when you are looking for that special dog to add to your family that rescues and shelters are the best place to start. Do not be taken in by the phrase "Designer Dog" this is just a pretty word for a MUTT

News

STARTING JANUARY 1ST OF 2008 WE WILL BE INCREASING OUR ADOPTION FEE TO 200.00 (UNLESS OTHER WISE STATED IN THEIR BIO) DUE TO THE INCREASING COST OF OUR MEDICAL BILLS. A LOT OF THE DOGS WE DEAL WITH FROM THE PUPPY MILLS REQUIRE LOTS OF MEDICAL ATTENTION WHICH INCLUDE MAJOR DENTALS, REMOVAL OF TUMORS, HERINA, FIXING THE EYES AND LOTS MORE. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR FOSTER HOMES TO HELP WITH THE NEW DOGS WE HAVE TAKEN IN, PLEASE CONTACT US.

We would like to thank all of the families that have adopted our dogs and given them great homes. We would not be able to rescue the dogs that we do if it weren't for people like you that are willing to give these dogs a chance and a home.
