About K9 Encore
Ensuring every dog has a plan because their journey shouldn't end with yours.
Every Dog Deserves a Complete Life
At K9 Encore, we believe every dog deserves a life filled with purpose, connection, and joy. Our mission is to ensure our beloved dogs don't spend their final days stuck in a shelter because they were forgotten when their owners went through end-of-life planning.

THE STORY BEHIND K9 ENCORE
Meet Hero
As owners of a dog boarding and day care facility, we were often presented with opportunities to assist in rehoming dogs. The saddest of these requests are undoubtedly those dogs whose lives were upended by the passing of their owner.
"Hero was a regular at our day care for the better part of two years before one Monday, Hero missed his normal appointment."
After 24 hours of unanswered calls to his owner Wendy, we reached out to her employer only to be informed that she had passed away over the weekend. Tragically, Hero was trapped in the house until her discovery on Monday. He was found at a local shelter.
Knowing that each year thousands and thousands of dogs find themselves in the same situation as Hero, Hero is the inspiration behind K9 Encore.
