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.Olaf is a very big, young, gorgeous white German Shepherd.  He doesn't realize his size and thinks he is a lap dog so he loves to curl up with you on the couch.  He has been in training classes to work on his manners and has been doing well at doggy daycare.  He does tend to bark at the cats a lot so he would be best in a home without cats (he will probably stress them out too much and we are not sure if he would do okay with a cat or not). He has TONS of energy and will need an active family to keep up with him.  He has a history of resource guarding so we are recommending a home without little kids.  He is great with other dogs though and does do well with all people.  He loves going on walks and playing with toys and really enjoys the kong toys that are filled with treats.  He is crate trained, walks well on a leash, housebroken, knows basic commands, fixed, up to date on vaccines, and chipped.   His adoption fee is $500 To adopt Olaf, fill out an application at www.kakf.org/formsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 17, 2026, 1:21 pm

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.June 17, 2026, 1:21 pm
