Foster Network
Killuminati Foster Network
Do you have a passion for helping rescued dogs and giving them a second chance at life? Joining the Killuminati Foster Network is a great way to help rescues find their forever family! The rescues and shelters in the area are all full which is why the Killuminati Foster Network is more important than ever! We are currently taking applications for foster homes. If you are interested, email us at foster@kfdogs.org for more information and to start the process. We will send you an inventory to find out more about you and your family - also what kind of dog you would be willing to foster so we can ensure the best experience for you and the dog.
According to the state of Missouri, there were over 100,000 more dogs in 2008 vs. 2007 that ended up at animal control, rescues, and shelters - that’s in just one year and just the state of Missouri!! Unfortunately, there were only 2,000 more adoptions….
By joining the Killuminati Foster Network we are striving together to make sure that 2009 doesn’t yield the same statistics. With your help, we can save one dog at a time.
Help dogs like Bentli, Jaxson, and Little One get a second chance at life and their happy ending they deserve by being a foster. Email or call for more information: foster@kfdogs.org or call Brandon at 417-880-9004 - we are currently accepting foster applications.
Little One - she was thrown from a moving car at just 6 weeks old
- Bentli - was dumped to fend for herself at 7 weeks old on a busy highway
Jaxson - was scheduled to be put down at animal control at 8 weeks old before a foster saved him
A young boy was walking with his grandfather at down a desserted beach. The grandfather commented about how many starfish had been washed up on shore and were saturating the beach. The boy knelt down and picked up a starfish, throwing it back into the ocean. The boy then took a few steps down the beach, knelt down again, and threw another starfish into the water. His grandfather told the boy his efforts were pointless, there were too many starfish to save and it wouldn’t make a difference. The grandfather and boy took a few more steps down the beach - the boy knelt down once again responding, “It makes a difference to this one” as he tossed another starfish into the ocean.
