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.November 15, 2026, 12:16 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Odie is a very sweet soul.  This poor dog has a very sad story.  Odie was adopted at 2 years old from animal control.  He was returned at 4...they claimed he was having accidents in the house so they locked him outside and then he just barked all the time.  This boy will need a patient, understanding family who can help him continue to learn to trust again.  He has shown us that he is skittish of loud noises and hands.  He is not aggressive at all and doesn't seem to have a mean bone in his body.  He lives in a foster home with little kids and other dogs and is great with all of them and hasn't shown any interest in cats when he has seen them either.  He is only about 25lbs and we think he is a terrier mix of some sort.  He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and chipped.  He is crate trained but needs work on housebreaking and basic commands. He does bark a lot (we think it is from anxiety and being alone) so he probably won't be best in an apartment at this time.   His adoption fee is $400 To adopt Odie, fill out an application at www.kakf.org/formsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 15, 2026, 12:16 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sweet Nedi is a shy little girl.  She does like people but it takes her awhile to warm up.  She will need someone who is patient and realizes that she won't immediately gravitate to them.  She is great with other dogs and would probably benefit from a confident dog to show her that things are okay.  We are unsure how she would be around cats but she does not seem to interested in them at adoption events.  She is great with kids though.  She is crate trained, still working on potty training, walking nicely on a leash, and her basic commands and will need someone to continue working with her.  She is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $600 To adopt Nedi, fill out an application at www.kakf.org/formsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 15, 2026, 12:16 pm

Story
Hi I’m Brandy, I’m a 1.5 year old Chihuahua baby girl who is looking for someone to love me and take care of me. If you want to add a little unconditional love to your life...look no further! I’m a fun loving lil girl who loves attention. I'm the complete package: looks, brains and personality. I am in search of my forever family that wants to make endless happy memories with me. I am the missing piece to completing your wonderful family. Investing your love into me will be so worth it!! I am good with children, dogs and cats. I was rescued from a rural shelter that is over capacity as my family was no longer able to care for me due to no fault of my own. 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, heart worm, flea and tick prevented, a free vet visit and medical insurance). What more could a new family ask for? Love and Kisses, Brandy
