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.January 20, 2026, 11:26 pm

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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Capitan is the sweetest little boy.  Well not super little, he is probably around 25-30 pounds now and will most likely get a little bigger.  We are unsure of his breed, he looks like he has border collie in him but probably also some terrier, maybe lab, his coloring suggests dalmatian.  He is amazing with other dogs and kids, loves to snuggle.  We are not sure how he would be with cats in his home but at our events he doesn't even seem to notice them so he probably won't care.  He is working on potty training but is crate trained and does pretty well on a leash.  He loves the water and mud so heads up.  One thing you need to know...he is deaf, and mostly blind, he lost one eye (congenital issue and it was removed), the other eye is not great either.  We think he can see shadows because he navigates his surroundings just fine, even when he is in a new place.  He would benefit from someone who has experience with a deaf and blind dog as training is difficult since he can't hear.  But he is so easy going he would be fine as long as his people do their research and learn with him.  Otherwise he is healthy, he is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Bella...Yes, that Bella - the loyal, soulful girl who takes her role as your shadow very seriously.  Bella is a 3 year old spayed pit mix with a huge heart and even bigger capacity for love.  Once she bonds with you, you're her person, period.  She's affectionate, goofy, and happiest when she knows exactly where her humans are.  Bella enjoys her walks and generally does well on a leash, though she may pull at times when she's excited (life is just very thrilling sometimes).   She's crate trained at night and settles well, but she does have some separation anxiety and would do best with someone who understands this and can help her continue to build confidence when left alone.  Poor Bella was brought into the rescue with 4 other pit bulls who were abandoned when their owner died, she was locked in the room with her deceased owner and this seems to have created a lot of anxiety and separation issues that she has come a long way on but still has some work to do.  Bella's ideal home is cat free and with older kids who understand dog boundaries.  A family or person willing to be patient and consistent and she does great with other dogs and is currently living with 2 big male dogs.  Bella is also up to date on vaccines, neg heartworm test, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $350 To adopt Bella, fill out an application at www.kakf.org/formsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 6, 2026, 11:53 pm

********AVAILABLE******* Hi Everyone, My name is Butterball and I would like to add a lil unconditional love to your family. I am a precious 2-3 year old Goldendoodle baby boy who is looking for my forever people!! I am going to make an excellent addition to a loving family!! Are you ready to fall in love? I am an adorable, smart and sweet lil boy.. I have a great temperament which is amazing as it was apparent that I was extremely neglected during the first part of my life. I was found in terrible condition and my hair had to be completely shaved. I’m a bit overweight and working on that now. Investing your time and love into me will be so worth it!! I was rescued from a high kill rural shelter. I am good with children and other animals. Please add a lotta unconditional love, sloppy kisses, tail wags and endless happiness to your family and contact jbrescuerangers@yahoo.com for an adoption application and bring me home. I will come with the works (Spayed, up to date on everything, micro chipped, fecal, heart worm tested if age appropriate, monthly heartworm, flea and tick prevented, a free vet visit and medical insurance). What more could a new family ask for? Love and Kisses, Butterball
