We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit rescue (EIN#: 83-3097305) and are completely funded by public donations and supported by a large network of volunteers. We provide high-quality food, medical care, love, attention, toys, and other supplies until our rescues can find their forever homes. We also fund spay/neuter initiatives on a month to month basis and are able to help spay/neuter over 800 pets per month. Every contribution has an impact on our mission, no matter how big or small via funds, supplies, or time.

Your donation is tax-deductible! Please keep your donation receipt once you finish making your contribution; we can make you one if you donate using a different method. We thank you for your support. For any donation questions, please email kimchenvidarescue@gmail.com.

Hope's Abuse Case - Guatemala Rescues
Hope's Abuse Case - Guatemala Rescues

Hope is a black Lab mix who was found in an abuse case in Guatemala. Her neck was hanging off of wire and ropes, causing the fur and tissue around her neck to break, scar, and bleed - she’s being transported in April 2022 to our rescue in the US for continued treatment, rehabilitation, and eventually for a forever home.

Mustache & Ghost just came to our rescue after their recovery process after being rescued from the streets of Mexico, with their eyes swollen shut and infested with fleas.

18 Backyard Breeder Pups
18 Backyard Breeder Pups

In July, we rescued 8 toy breed dogs from a horrible backyard breeder who had them living in feces and urine. Some looked like they’d never been groomed before, and they were terrified of people when we first met them. We’re slowly teaching them that we’re here to help them. There are still 10 more to rescue.
