K-9 Corral Helps People Too!
Volunteer medical flight pilots are some of the most special people on earth and in the sky! They fly patients who need cancer treatment or burn treatment from their home towns to Houston's MD Anderson or Galveston's Burn Center. These flights are completely free of charge to the patient! The volunteer pilot flying the mission pays for all flight expenses, including the plane, fuel, and airport fees. Many pilots tell us their greatest benefit is the joy of meeting their passengers and knowing they can help give comfort to patients on their path to recovery by providing free air transportation in private aircraft so children and adults may receive life-saving medical care. Many patients do not have access to conventional transportation or are too ill to drive or fly commercially. If you would like to help K-9 Corral's volunteer pilot help these patients please contact us.
John's Story: Four years, 40 surgeries after the fire:
It's been four years since a barn fire in the home's backyard burned 95 percent of four year old John's body and left him nearly dead. Since then, John's had about 40 surgeries. He lost his fingers, but surgeons were able to build him a right thumb with bone fragments from his right hand. They hope to build him more fingers.
John struggles with mobility, because his skin is tight from being scraped and pieced together. He has artificial skin on his face and his back is a patchwork of skin from his stomach. His skin often breaks open and his mother has to cover it with ointment to prevent infection. John's mom said it's overwhelming to think about all they've been through, but they take challenges one at a time. She's thankful for her son John. "I just want him to know what God's purpose for his life is," she said.
But John's not one to complain. He does get sad when people stare at him. John is one of 10 children. Several times per year, John (now 8 years old) and his mom fly to a Shriner's hospital in Galveston, Texas, to find out what surgery or treatment he'll have next. If you would like to help K-9 Corral and our volunteer pilot fly John to Texas for treatment (and other patients like him), donations for fuel would be appreciated. Contact K-9 Corral for more information at 713-805-2154.

Who We Are
K-9 Corral was founded in 1999. We recently placed our 3001st dog into a loving home. Help us reach 3500 adoptions before our next anniversary! Please consider adopting one of our available dogs or puppies. For each one adopted we are able to rescue another from the pound that would otherwise be euthanized. Refer your friends and ask them to attend an adoption event or check out our website .
K-9 Corral is a non-profit organization which is dedicated to rescuing dogs and placing them in loving homes. The main focus of our program is spay or neuter of every animal prior to placement. We are dedicated in our efforts to save dogs and puppies from pounds when their time is up and they would otherwise be euthanized, usually at 72 hours. For that reason, we do not accept unwanted dogs from the public unless we already have a home waiting for a particular breed. K-9 Corral is a foster program which allows us to learn about a dog's characteristics and temperament. This helps us to make a good match with an adoptive family. If you are looking for a dog, please contact us. If your perfect dog is not here today, you can leave your information and we will call you when your favorite breed becomes available. We always have more wonderful dogs than our home page shows because new dogs come in daily.
Adopting a friend
All puppy and dog adoptions include spay or neuter, vaccines, dewormer and heartworm test for adult dogs. Adoption events are held regularly and appointments can be made for other times as well. Delivery by private plane within a 500 mile radius of Houston is available for an additional cost.
Come Visit Us!
Our adoption events are held in The Woodlands at the adoption tent located on the southbound service road of I-45 just south of Sawdust Road in the Texaco shopping center on the second and fourth Saturday of each month from 10-3. Several other groups hold an adoption event at this location every Saturday so there is a very large selection of dogs.
