This is not a petitoin to collect signatures, but to assist K9 for Love to collect funds to remain open as they have been forced to move by September 2012 due to zoning changes where they are currently located.

There are no animal shelters in Homestead, FL, the nearest one is a kill shelter Miami-Dade Animal Services. The Homestead area and communities in the vicinity will benefit if this shleter is able to continue their work. Please assist with what you can any little bit helps, even if you can only donate $1 or $5 it all adds up.

 K9 for Love ♥ is a non profit (501c3) dog profit organization that has been rescuing abandoned dogs for the last 7 years. Located in Homestead, FL.

We've been forced out to move out of the property where our shelter is located, due to Miami-Dade zoning restrictions and we need to move and rebuild again!!

We cannot do it by ourselves due to lack of funds since we currently have 80+ dogs under our care, 50 of them located in this shelter and some others in foster homes.

We have until the end of September to complete the move!

We will be also providing low cost and free spay/neuter surgery to all the citizens in the Miami area by setting up a mobile unit at our new location.

NOTE that we will be the first ones offering this service for our community. We need to act NOW!. If we dont to spay and neuter dogs and cats, WE WON'T STOP OVERPOPULATION.

We already have several volunteers that will help us rebuild and provide vet care for citizens in need, but we need your help!!.

Until we don't do this, we won't be able to keep saving more lives and we will be forced to shut downand won't be able to provide shelter to the dogs abandoned in the Everglades/Homestead/Redlands and Greater Miami area.

The situation is unsustainable, not only because of enormous amount of animals being dumped like yesterday's garbage, but also because we need to control the overpopulation by spaying/neutering dogs and until Miami-Dade Animal Shelter becomes NO-KILL, we have to keep supporting our community and helping the dogs and all those who are not willing to take their surrendered dogs to the local shelter.

The place we are forced to leave was once a shelter for cats and was destroyed after Hurricane Katrina and Wilma in 2005, so we reconditioned it and we were able to place abandoned, surrender and disable dogs. We have spent more than $7,500 to reconditioned this place, but NOW we won't be able to REUSE some of that material, not to mention that plywood is NOT an option anymore.

Now, we have a big job ahead of us....

 WHAT WE NEED

We need to rebuild 50+ kennels in a new land as soon as possible, considering that we are already in hurricane season, and for that purpose we need:

Construction materials (chain link fence, posts, plywood, roofing material, tarp, etc). All totalling approximately $12,000.

Concrete  supplies for floor and septic cleaning system in order to be in compliance with the code as a kennel and it's also antisectic and easy to maintain. We will need a couple of concrete trucks in order to put concrete floor throughout he entire kennel areas. vet medical equipment (don't have to be new) and supplies (approx. $7,500)

Pay off a debt we have for purchaseing the mobile trailer that will be serve the purpose as the spay/mobile unit. Cost $2,500 + tag and title costs.

Please help us rebuild and continue saving more dogs!!! we cannot shut down now!!!

They need us!!!
