You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.My name is Vin Diesel and I'm a senior, male chihuahua.  I just had a dental so my teeth are in pretty okay shape now.  I'm great with other dogs and cats and also respectful kids.  I'm of course hoping to enjoy my retirement ages in a calmer home though.  I walk very well on a leash and love going for car rides.  I'm also potty trained and know my basic commands.  I have great manners and would make an amazing addition to most households.  I'm fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $400 To adopt Vin Diesel, fill out an application at www.kakf.org/formsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 23, 2026, 12:41 am

Story
Every time we look at Buster, we just squeal with delight! Buster is a 2.5 month old Chihuahua mix and he weighs about 6 pounds, obviously of pure cuteness! He is a friendly and playful companion to other pups, and we think he would probably be good with children who respect his tiny size! He warms up quicklyto new people and has proven to be a pretty easy-going puppy. He loves napping on a blanket near his foster family, playing with the resident dog in his foster home, and playing with his toys. He's always happy to chew on a bone and is starting to realize a cozy lap is the best place to be! Buster's foster family has started working with him on potty training and crate training. He is looking for a family who is ready for a young puppy and all the further training needs this tiny package will bring! His sweet puppy eyes will surely melt your heart, and his constantly wagging tail will endear you to him forever. He has also mastered his model strut with those long, skinny legs of his! Buster is the perfect puppy package in a tiny frame, and we are excited for him to meet his family! Buster's adoption fee is $650

Disclaimer: This animal is not in Anderson custody. and is a courtesy post to help a member of the community rehome directly without shelter intervention. Any adoption inquiries should be directed to the owner at anitarobinson323@gmail.com and/or (630) 746-1921. Anderson Humane makes no guarantees regarding medical or behavioral status of this animal, and the current owner is solely responsible for disclosing any challenges or concerns. Anderson Humane is not responsible for any unsuccessful adoptions. It breaks my heart to write this, but I am looking for a new forever home for my two inseparable dogs, Mya and Roxy. They have grown up together, are deeply bonded, and absolutely must stay together. Mya and Roxy are the most loving, loyal companions you could ask for. They are wonderful with [kids/other pets], Mya is house-trained, and the two of them love nothing more than [cuddling on the couch/playing in the yard]. Due to a recent change in my life with a new baby and a chaotic schedule, I am no longer able to give them the time, energy, and attention they deserve. They are such good dogs, and I want them to have a family with the time to shower them with love. If you have room in your heart and home for a ready-made pair of best friends, please reach out. Must be adopted together. Serious inquiries only.

Since moving into a loving foster home, Sanders has been thriving and learning what it means to be a happy, confident dog in a safe environment. He takes a lot of cues from his furry friends and he really shines when he’s around other confident dogs, they help bring out his playful, brave side! Sanders is still working on his potty training but he does an excellent job keeping his crate clean during the day. Each day, he gets a little braver and is learning that pets and snuggles are wonderful things. With patience, consistency, and lots of love, this sweet boy will make a loyal and affectionate companion for the right person.
