Story
Shadow is a sweet dog, very loving! Completely house trained he is indoors. Always the biggest question, why looking to get rid of him. I will be completely honest he is way too wild for our house. We have a small house and live in town. Ideally he needs a big yard or someone who likes to walk. He has enough energy for 5 dogs. We work full time and have kids, he does not get the attention or time he needs from us. He is ornery to get attention and is bored. He is 4 years old. Can walk on a leash but not super good at it, he pulls. Big thing with him is he does not do good with any dog smaller than him or any small animal at all. He thinks everything is a squirrel and he wants to kill it. He is so good with the kids he has never bit anyone. I just want him to go to someone who will love him. I feel guilty for how many hours a day he is in the kennel (yes he is kennel trained). Thank you for looking!

Story
We got her Thanksgiving of 2019, she belongs to my kids father he requested for me to rehome her I am unable to care for her he is selling his house and will be OTR and works long hours. She needs more care than he can give her and what she deserves she’s been around kids/babies since 2021 and does really well with small children and other dogs, cats are unknown. She has a ton of energy will let you know when she needs out to go to the bathroom moderately leash trained and kennel/house trained. She will try to zoom out of an open door if given the opportunity she’s a fun loving high energy dog loves belly rubs and the obvious treats haha. We as a unit would love her to go to a family that is able to take care of her and burn her high energy off.

Story
Gator was surrendered due to change in the family circumstances. He is 6 years old and approx 80 lbs. He is such a well behaved and friendly guy. He loves humans, but he isn't sure around toddlers so kiddos over 5 please! He has done well with the dogs in his foster home. He is potty and kennel trained although the kennel isn't required after settling in. He grew up on a farm and protected the yard from squirrels and raccoons, so we are also looking for a home with no small animals! If you think Gator could be a good fit, please fill out an application at www.k911foundation.com/adopt. July 7, 2026, 1:58 pm

Story
Chili is estimated to be about 2 years old. Her DNA test is in her pictures! She is 40 lbs so shes a perfect medium sized girl. Chili has come a long way, she has learned how to relax inside and outside the home, she has been muzzle, leash, e collar and crate trained. Her foster has been working hard to teach her everything she can!    Chili uses the door bell or barks at night if she needs to go out. She doesn't love the kennel, so we have a heavy duty kennel that she's in during the day when her foster is out of the house. She's gradually getting more used to it, but will still avoid coming inside if she knows she is going in the kennel. Chili would do fine as an only dog with walks, or with experienced dog parents who are willing to slowly integrate (she took a full month to feel comfortable here). She loves going on walks or hiking! Fostering to adopt is absolutely an option! If you have any questions please reach out!
