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.October 4, 2026, 7:33 pm

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.October 4, 2026, 7:33 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bonnie is a very energetic and loving little girl.  She is a little big for miniture poodle but is still a tiny girl.  She loves to play and run around.  She chases the cats and while she is not aggressive towards them she would probably do best in a home without cats or small animals.  She is great with kids though and fine with other dogs.  She came in with Clyde but we think they would probably be okay on their own as well.  She is crate trained, leash trained, and working on her basic commands.  She is fixed, up to date on vaccines, and chipped. Her adoption fee is $500 To adopt Bonnie, fill out an application at www.kakf.org/forms Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 4, 2026, 7:33 pm

Courtesy Post Hello Everyone, My name is Happy and I’m a sweet lil 35lb Pittie X baby girl who could really use a loving forever home. I am looking for my happily ever after. I was rescued from a rural shelter. I am deaf but that doesn’t slow me down at all. I already know 8 hand signals. Investing your time and love into me will be so worth it!! I am an absolute sweetheart. I’m good with other older children who understand my special needs. I do prefer to be the only fur baby in the home as I want all of the lovings to myself! I’m a lil selfish that way. I am a sweet, loving and smart lil girl who just wants to be loved. Please add a lotta unconditional love, a wiggle butt, sloppy kisses, tail wags and endless happiness to your family and contact jbrescuerangers@yahoo.com for an adoption application and bring me home. Love and Kisses, Happy

Story
Are you looking for a perfect "Pomski"? Look no further! Dakota is here and available for adoption, and he would really like to find his forever home soon. Dakota is a senior Pomeranian x Husky mix, born 3/27/15. You would never know he is 11.5 years old by looking at him. He is active, healthy, and loves to play and go on walks. He enjoys human attention and soaked up all of the love at our recent adoption event. Dakota has been cat and dog tested, and overall does really well -- but can be the fun police and a bit of a grump with other dogs at times. We think he could live with dogs in the right home, but would also be happy as an only dog. Dakota is housetrained, rides great in the car, and is just an all around good boy. He is ~40 lbs and is a heavy shedder. Dakota's adoption fee is $150 and he is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and heartworm negative. Please call or email: 630-553-9256 or animalcontrol@Kendallcountyil.gov with any questions, or stop by the shelter at 802 W John St. Yorkville, IL to meet and adopt.
