Story

Stevie has been a wonder addition to our home. Our life has gotten busy as we are both working full time and have three children at home. She's a dog that loves attention and would work great for someone who's around more. If we had more time, we'd love to keep her, but life is getting too busy to give her the attention she deserves.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi! My name is Sparkles and that definitely reflects my personality! I'm a super sweet 1.5yr old female that loves everyone and everything. I am a white terrier mix that has gorgeous blues eyes if I don't say so myself. And don't worry about being too noisy...I'm deaf! I don't let that slow me down at all, I am doing great learning signs for commands and I have great manners (although I might need some help with reminders in a new home with a new routine). I learn quickly though and get along with everyone. I really love playing with other dogs and I don't mind cats at all (my foster home has a really cool one and we are becoming friends). I am fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped...I did test positive for heartworms but have completed treatment, however there is some continued care I will need to ensure that things are all cleared that will have to be continued in my forever home (continued heartworm preventative and 6 month retesting). My adoption fee is $350 To adopt Sparkles, 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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Capitan is just the best friend you could ask for. He is a medium sized dog, probably around 40lbs now. He loves everyone, great with dogs, loves kids, doesn't really even notice cats. He does have lots of energy and will need a family who is able to give him a way to use it like long walks and lots of play time. He is crate trained, learning basic commands, still perfecting housebreaking and how this leash thing works. The reason he is taking more time to learn is that he is mostly deaf and blind. He did have to have one eye removed and has limited sight out of his other eye, but he gets around just fine so he does have vision. He also is mostly deaf but hears some loud, high pitched noises. We have an amazing trainer who volunteered her time to work with him and will also help his new owner learn his commands and how to continue his training. He really is such a sweet boy who just wants all the love. He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, healthy, and ready to go. His adoption fee is $400 To adopt Capitan, fill out an application at www.kakf.org/formsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 8, 2026, 8:20 pm

Story

If you're looking for a companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart, then this guy may be the perfect match for you! This spunky, fun-loving boy is full of charm, intelligence, and character. He enjoys being involved in whatever his people are doing, whether that's going for adventures, playing in the yard, learning new things, or simply relaxing at home. Like many Standard Poodles, he's smart, attentive, and loves being part of the family. While he enjoys the company of people of all ages and gets along wonderfully with children and cats, he would prefer to be the only dog in the home. He truly thrives when he doesn't have to share the spotlight. His ideal home is one where he can enjoy the calm, spoiled lifestyle he believes he deserves. This sweet boy is happiest when he can soak up all the love, attention, and affection from his family. If you're ready to welcome a handsome, affectionate, and spirited companion into your life, this special boy is ready to meet you!
