Rico came in, bleeding from a puncture wound on his back hip and small scrape behind his ear. He is still all smiles though and just wants love! He is on pain meds and antibiotics to prevent infection. He is dog friendly.

Rico is urgent and needs a rescue ASAP! Please contact [email protected] if you can help. Transport available to Chicagoland on Saturday. Please don't let Rico die at the shelter!

Rico has a 10+++ personality and with a good bath and groom, he's bound to make a family very happy!

Update: Safe!

🚨Final Call! URGENT RESCUE NEEDED FOR SPOT!🚨

Spot is a male, white and black lab/rat terrier mix who weighs 50 pounds. Spot is about 10 years young! He is very friendly and would make a great couch potato companion. Spot loves his treats.

His owners had to go into a nursing home, and Spot has found himself in a low adoption shelter. His time is up and he needs rescue now!

If you can help rescue Spot, please contact [email protected]. Transport is available to Chicagoland on Saturday.

QK9C is unable to continue to board animals that do not have rescue commitments once an animal's time is up at the shelter. The need exceeds our current resources. Please help Spot find rescue!

🐾♥ Donations Needed to Help Lilly, Dog Who Was Shot! 🐾♥

TW: GRAPHIC PICTURES BELOW!

🌟 Meet Lilly, a brave and loving yellow lab mix who was found as a stray. Lilly had been shot multiple times with buckshot and was brought to animal control. Despite her pain, she remained incredibly friendly, showing her sweet soul to everyone she met.

Unfortunately, local animal control couldn't provide the care Lilly needed. That's when Quincy K-9 Connection stepped in. We often face tough decisions due to limited funds, but Lilly's story touched our hearts deeply. We knew Lilly needed immediate medical attention and were willing to dedicate our own personal funds to ensure it happened.

❤️ Lilly has since received a thorough examination, x-rays, bloodwork, electrolytes, medications, antibiotics, and care for her wounds. She was also brought up to date on her vaccinations and boarded until a rescue placement could be found. This past Saturday, Lilly was transferred to a wonderful rescue partner where she is continuing her recovery. 🥰

We need your help to cover Lilly's medical expenses, which total $600. Every dollar counts and will make a huge difference in Lilly's life. Please consider donating below or at qk9c.org to help us provide the care she so desperately needs. ❤️

Lilly thanks you for your kindness and support. Together, we can continue to make a difference!
