Story
Riri is a spunky high energy dog that is need of a home that is calm without a lot of new exciting guests. She tolerates other animals but prefers to be on her own with her humans. She loves to cuddle, lay in her crate, and loves a warm soft place to lay. She loves kids but a little too much. As she will jump on everyone when she first sees them. And has a tendency to try and lick faces. Sometimes in her over excitement she can nibble a little when doing this like a love pinch. She can become food, toy, space, and human territorial so there needs be caution with children and small animals. Riri needs lots of walks multiples a day to help with her behaviors. Does best leashed with a chest clip harness to help contain her excitement for the walk and the occasional squirrel. Riri has had instances of getting too rough with smaller dogs.Although she has some behaviors that would require a lot of patience and work, she is a love bug who just needs the right fit. She wants to be a good girl.

Story
Butters is a sweet, loving dog. I got into a situation where I cannot care for him anymore. He needs somebody who can give him a lot of attention and time. He loves to go outside and play fetch. It’s one of his favorite games. He loves running around and he’s a great cuddle bug❤️ He would be a great addition to a family

Story
Dallas is an energetic, loving, eager to learn German shepherd. We adopted him 3 years ago and he has loved farm life. He is great with all humans, kids included. He does not enjoy being in a kennel, but will mainly whine if he is kenneled. He is best friends with our female pit bull and enjoys chasing the cat around. He loves any chance to learn a new trick, play, or be affectionate. We are rehoming because he has begun to have issues with our older male dog. Dallas is protective of his yard and he refuses to let our older male dog be outside with him. He has never had aggression issues off property before; only protecting his home. He is NOT human aggressive ever. The issue has only been with our older male dog. Rehoming fee to ensure a decent home. We do not rehome dogs often, and he deserves a good home where he’s loved.

Story
Sally is very sweet and loving. We have her in a large fenced area but she gets out because she wants to find what she is smelling or she wants to have an adventure. We do not give her as much attention as she needs and we feel like if someone was able to give her more attention that it would be better for her. Sally will be three in September and has had all of her shots up to date and is spayed. We would love for her to find a home with someone that has more time for her. We are asking $30 for her.

Story
Herbie is 1 year old. He is currently 95 lbs. My best way to describe him would be a fun loving goofball. He loves people! We acquired Herbie from a friend of a friend who moved to a smaller house and couldn’t keep him anymore. We thought we could make him a livestock dog. He got along with the animals but he wouldn’t stay with them. He kept breaking out to be with us. We already have 3 indoor dogs and do not need/want another indoor dog. His current situation is not working as he needs more attention and space to run.

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
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. August 30, 2026, 1:48 pm
