Griffin K-9 Rescue

🐶IMPORTANT PLEASE READ 🐶

Goodbyes are never easy and this one surely is not. The past 8 years have been the best adventure and brought our family so much joy. However, there are countless hours that go into rescue work and much stress that can come along with it.

After many months of hard conversations and prayer we felt the Lord telling us it was time to close the door with Griffin K9 and focus on our very young family.

What does that mean:
After 8 amazing years, almost 200 dogs saved & adopted, Griffin K-9 Rescue is officially closed. Rescue work will always be important to us and we hope to be able to support other rescues in different ways in the future!

However, our program with Davids Backpacks for the Homeless will continue! This is an organization that we are so passionate about and we are so excited to be able to come alongside Mary and support her and her organization in many different ways, including keeping the sponsorship program up and running! All of our current DB monthly supporters will still be able to sponsor their animals it will just all be done through David’s Backpacks moving forward.

We are incredibly thankful for all of our supporters that have financially supported us, volunteered, and prayed for us throughout the years! We couldn’t have done it without you! We are so thankful to our board of directors and our rescue partner and dear friend, Emily, who has sacrificed countless hours taking care of our rescue dogs over the last two years. Finally, we will never be able to thank Dr. Pressly and Pressly Animal Hospital,PLLC enough for all they have done for us! Eight years ago Dr. Pressly found us at an adoption event and he truly changed the course of our rescue. We literally would not have been able to do it without him and are so thankful for the dear friend that he is to us!

We are so sad to say goodbye but eternally grateful for everything Griffin K-9 was and all the people and dogs that were reached! ❤️🐶

Look at this girl! Coco has completed her board and train program and is SO ready to find her family! She is such a fantastic girl who now has such great manners! She is 1 year old, fully vetted, full trained, and good with other dogs! Whatever lucky family decides to adopt coco will get to have a training lesson with The K9 Institute before she goes home!

Guess who found her forever home🥳🥳🥳

Bailey has been in a foster home for 8 months. She was definitely one of the most “shut down” dogs we have ever had in rescue. She struggled greatly being around humans and engaging in normal dog activities.

Kayla and Jasen stepped up to foster Bailey when she REALLY needed it and it truly changed her life. Bailey instantly bonded with their dog Daisy (Griffin k9 alum) and they were soooo patient with her for months as she settled in and learned how to just be a dog.

We are SOO thrilled to say that Bailey will be living the rest of her days with her foster family as they have officially adopted her!! We are so excited for Bailey!

Fostering truly does SAVE lives! Thank you Kayla and Jasen for your dedication and patience as fosters even when it wasn’t easy! ❤️🐶

This beauty, Bailey, is still looking for her forever home! She is a year old, crate trained, potty trained, good with cats, and even knows some basic obedience commands! Bailey is currently in a foster home where she is continuing to learn how to trust and be comfortable in a family home!

Bailey has so much to offer a family but she will definitely need a home that is willing to be patient as she adjusts to a new home/environment. She also needs to be in a home that has at least 1 other dog!

If you would like to meet Bailey, you can fill out an application on our website griffink-9rescue.org!

We want to give the biggest ThAnK YoU to Dr. Pressly and all the staff at Pressly Animal Hospital,PLLC, for showing their endless love to our Friends furry companions, and our Friends!!! Last week a Friends companion decided to eat part of his blanket, causing a blockage and in return he needed emergency surgery. The compassion they showed to and for our Friend, is priceless!! THANK YOU for loving our Friends, and their companions!!!

Our community is simply amazing!!

Guess who was ADOPTED and is already living her BEST life, OPAL 🥳🎉🥳

There a couple things we want to say about Miss Opals adoption:
1. Opal found her forever home after waiting a really long time thanks to one of our followers simply sharing her post on Facebook! Whenever you see a dog for adoption please like & share the post! You never know who will see it and what dog might find their forever home because of your share on social media!

2. Opal is the perfect example of the difference a forever home (or foster home) can make for a dog! Opal was pretty high strung the last couple of months she was with us in rescue. LOTS of energy. The moment she left with her forever family she relaxed so much! That one on one attention and love inside a home environment has already made a world of difference for our girl! If you have been thinking about adopting or fostering please reach out to us! You can truly make a world of difference for a rescue dog!

We are SO excited for you Opal and can’t wait to see what adventures are to come for you and your family! Happy life sweet girl!! 🥳💕

Check out these beauties for adoption!! 💕

We can’t believe this beauty has had zero interest! Opal is such a sweet girl with lots of love to give! She is a young girl that has lots of energy, enjoys playing ball, and loves the water!! She would love a family with a back yard or a family with a walking/running/or hiking partner!

If you would like to meet sweet Opal please reach out to us! 🐶🐶🐶

‼️ JULY ADOPTION SPECIAL- HALF OFF ADOPTIONS‼️

Being a really small rescue we only have the capability of taking in a few rescue dogs at a time. When we go through a period where we don’t have many adoptions that means we are unable to take in/help any new rescue dogs. Unfortunately, these four girls are quickly becoming “long timers” with us 😞 They have all been waiting patiently for months to find their forever families! Until we have some adoptions here at Griffin K-9 we will not be taking in new adult dogs.

Summer (tan) is a sweet girl who is looking for a family that she will be forever loyal to! She is good with other dogs, loves people, and is crate trained.

Bailey (black) is a sweet but very reserved girl. She has a lot of love to give but will need a family that is willing to give her a lot of patience to settle in and warm up. She does require a home with at least one other dog and a family with no small kids as it is very overwhelming for her. She is very dog friendly, crate trained, potty trained, and is currently in a foster home.

Opal (white) is a sweet girl with lots of energy! She is looking for a family that is willing to take her for walks and maybe even throw the ball with her! Opal is good with other dogs and crate trained.

Coco (tri colored) is a young girl around a year old. She was prior adopted and unfortunately back in rescue waiting to find her forever family! She is good with other dogs and kids and is crate trained. She can be a bit possessive with toys around other dogs but that is a skill that can definitely be worked on!

All four girls are up to date on the vetting and SO ready to find their families! If you would like to meet any of them please reach out!

When you adopt a dog you are really rescuing/saving two dogs as you allow a space for a new dog to be pulled from the shelter and brought into rescue! Please share‼️🐶

JULY ADOPTION DISCOUNT 🥳🐶

This beauty, Opal, is still looking for her forever home! She has been patiently waiting and is eager to find her family! She is around 1 year old, crate trained, loves the water, and has lots of energy. She would love a family that would be willing to play with her in the yard and take her for walks!

For the rest of July we will be doing HALF price adoptions for approved adopters for both Opal and Summer who are looking for their forever homes!

If you would like to meet Opal reach out to us! Please share‼️🐶

COURTESY POST 🐶🐶
*This dog is NOT with Griffin K-9 Rescue but she is looking for a forever home*

Kauai is a 3y/o pit mix
Spayed
Up to date on shots and exams
Sweetest pup ever! She LOVES belly rubs, and snuggling on the couch.
Not a fan of being in a crate, but is very good when left alone. Not destructive (unless it’s a toy with a squeaker lol)
The only reason the family is rehoming is due to moving to Hawaii & they are not allowed to have bully breeds where they are living

If you are interested in adopting this pup please reach out and we will put you in contact with the family needing to rehome.

Please share!
