Story
When responding, please tell us about yourself such as home, yard/fence, family, work hours, previous dog experience. We do have an application at sparrowdogs.com. They call him Tot, as in Tator Tot, because he is just a little spud of a dog-just 20 pounds, and cute as a button.(his foster family is working on putting some weight on him!) If there had not been a DNA done on Tot, we certainly would have never guessed some of those breeds!! Although he is mostly Shih Tzu, he certainly doesn't look it, so we put down Chihuahua mix, perhaps Chihuahua/Pit? Would that make him a Chipit? Well, whatever Tot is, he is a cute little guy. But, looking into those sad eyes you can see the pain and perhaps the distrust. Tot grew up in a drug house, yes, you can just imagine the horror that he endured. Thankfully he was rescued by a good Samaritan/rescuer. And again, thankfully, he was just over a year old so surely he can put all that trauma far, far in his past with the right patient and loving home. Tot is doing well in his foster home. He has adjusted to living with a family with other pets, people of all ages--but NO small children--although there is an older child in the home. They have had a lot of patience with Tot and let him acclimate on his own terms. A fearful dog will be distrusting, but they can come around and love. It takes a special person, someone kind, loving and patient and also dog savvy that can understand that this takes time. But, it is also so worth it. Tot is young and has his whole life ahead of him. He deserves the best in life, and he is working on putting his rough start behind him. Tot will do well with an active family, he is young and playful. He will be best with female dogs. Tot is not the kind of dog that is going to warm up right away, he needs time. He is not going to be ready to snuggle in your lap upon first meeting, it may have to happen in his adoptive home. But, once he trusts you, he will love you forever. We are looking for that someone extra special to give him that chance of a happy full life. We know you are out there looking for that extra special pal. If you have plenty of dog experience and a big heart, maybe Tot is your guy!! His adoption fee is $200. Please email Kristine at joysparrows@gmail.com.

Story
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.March 7, 2026, 10:58 am

Story
Sweet MAEVE is proof that learning to be loved after so many years and disappointments can take a bit. We are not out of the woods but we are getting close! Maeve means "the cause of great joy" and I am hoping that she will be someone's greatest joy til the end of her days. Also, her pure joy still shines through even after people have let her down so horribly. We are waiting on blood work. She does have a heart murmur (not unusual in an older dog). She has gained some much needed weight and best of all.....she was released for a BATH. I love giving a foster the first bath in rescue. You can see the calm and change as their old life is washed away making room for a fresh new start. Maeve enjoyed the warm water and the oatmeal shampoo. She is now snoring on her bed! More to come!
