Areas Kenway's Cause serves

Kenway's Cause supports adoptive families and rescue organizations should a dog adopted from the shelter have pre-existing medical conditions or even behavior issues. Our goal is to provide relief to help with treatment and/or rehabilitation. And last but certainly not least, Kenway’s Cause donations allow us to provide medical care for dogs that need immediate treatment while in the shelter or would otherwise be euthanized. We have paid for emergency surgeries, x-rays, ultrasounds, various tests and different forms of treatment. The City does not pay for the immediate medical attention and treatment many of these dogs require so the only option prior to the existence of Kenway’s Cause was to euthanize them

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
