Story
He is blind so it is important to give him time to adjust to the new surroundings. He has a brother that I'd love to go with him as the are each others security blankets. The second picture is of the brother. We acquired these 2 from my brother in law when they were kicked out of their house. We only agreed to it because they said they would only look at rentals that allowed pets. Well that did not happen. I already have 4 dogs of my own. After 6 months of having them its time to have them find a forever home.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Luke is such an easy going old man.  He is about 14 years old, and he enjoys going on walks, car rides, and just lounging in the room with his people.  He and his brother, Lil' Bit, were rescued from Georgia as puppies and have lived their lives with one person.  This person sadly got sick and ended up in a nursing home and Luke and Lil' Bit have found themselves needing to find their own retirement home.  He is fine with other dogs, doesn't mind cats, and is great with kids.  He is your typical goofy, chill Lab.  He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Clyde came in with his friend Bonnie.  These poor dogs were left in a public restroom tied up.  Clyde had chewed through his leash but didn't leave Bonnie.  That being said, now that they are safe and comfortable they really aren't that attached and would probably do better separated.  Clyde does best with dogs his size or bigger and needs a slow introduction, he would be great all by himself, soaking up all the people attention.  He loves to play, especially fetch and has tons of energy to burn off.  He still needs some work on his manners but is doing much better on his chewing and seems to be housebroken and is working on his basic commands.  He has not met a cat yet and is most likely too much for them.  He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $350 To adopt Clyde fill out an application at https://www.kakf.org/forms/Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 16, 2025, 7:26 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Buck is a complete goof ball, he flops around with a huge smile on his face.  He loves following around other dogs and would benefit from a friend to learn more commands from.  He would spend all day chasing other dogs in the yard if he could.  Buck is crate trained and mostly potty trained.  He does not chew or tear apart toys.  He does great with kids but is a puppy still (Turns 1 in Oct 2024), so he might be too much for little kids, and he doesn't understand how to be gentle with cats either and does try to play with them (which they usually don't like).  Buck is still a bit skittish, but once he warms up he is a loving lap dog.  He knows "inside" and "crate", but is still learning other basic commands.  Buck overall is just a happy go lucky pup!  He is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and chipped. His adoption fee is $500 To adopt Buck fill out an application at https://www.kakf.org/forms/Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 16, 2025, 4:18 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bella is such a sweet, young girl, who had a pretty traumatic experience and will need a patient person to help her through it.  This poor girl come into our rescue with 5 other pit bulls when their owner passed away.  They were all left for an unknown amount of time as this person lived alone and Bella was in the room with the man.  She has struggled with a lot of separation anxiety since moving into her foster home.  She does take a little time to warm up to new people and dogs, but she loves having another dog and she does fine with cats as well.  She is fine with older kids but might be too much for younger kids.  She sleeps in a crate at night but she doesn't like being left alone so she will chew through crates if she can't find her person.  She also is housebroken but when you leave she has had some accidents.  The vet has been trying different anxiety meds, but she would do best, at least for a while, with someone who works from home.  She is very loving and affectionate, still learning some manners like walking on a leash but knows sit, stay, and come.  She is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.  We are hoping she can find that perfect person to help her overcome her previous experience and learn that the world is a safe place again. 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.April 13, 2025, 10:07 pm

She is a terrier mix that loves nothing more than cuddling on the couch.  We haven't heard a single bark out of her, but she is quite sad leaving her family as an owner surrender at no fault of her own.  She is calm, completely house trained, and does well with the dogs she has been introduced to.  Her age does not stop her from having a huge smile on her face and pep in her step.  Kelly seems to have light allergies that have been mostly rectified by eating dog foo that is a fish formula/sensitive stomach.  Kelly is the perfect shadow dog that will plop down on any couch or dog bed that is near her human.  Are you ready to be her cuddle buddy.  She is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped.
