K9's in need of Special Support
Tax deductible
K9’s in need of Special Support (KISS) is a 501(c)3 non profit foundation registered in North Carolina. Net proceeds are distributed to participating shelters that have dogs with disabling health conditions in need of veterinary attention, whether lifelong or temporary.
Like people, canine disabilities are manageable with medical support, education, and proper care. ‘Special needs’ can be diabetes, epilepsy, blindness, deafness, paralysis, cancer, or any other disease, condition, or impairment that may prevent them from being adopted.
Aside from being our faithful companions, dogs have served people for years as workers, performing duties which support our society. Assist dogs give disabled people the independence and freedom to enjoy a full life. Therapy dogs bring joy to terminally ill people and senior citizens, and service dogs unconditionally sacrifice their lives performing search, rescue, and law enforcement jobs.
We believe it’s time to show our appreciation to these amazing animals by giving them the same opportunity to live a full life as they have given us. There is no disability that can affect the joy, love, and loyalty a dog can give.
~ Mission ~
To provide shelter organizations with veterinary resources, funds, and education, necessary to treat, manage, and promote the adoption of special need’s dogs in their care.
~ Vision ~
To reduce the population of disabled dogs in foster care, eliminate misconceptions surrounding care management, and foster compassion and a belief system valuing life free of boundaries throughout communities.
Your financial support makes this possible. Donations are tax deductible and greatly appreciated.
We will feature each dog - our "KISS Companions" - as they enter our program.
