Story
Meet Cali,One of the happiest girls you`ve ever met; even if her greeting is a loud bark. She`s working on manners greeting new people; she`s gets so over excited! She loves to learn, and with her being a foodie, is easy to train! We`ve been working on `engage disengage` to help with her barking. She walks pretty well on leash, enjoys all the loving, and LOVES to play! She doesn`t fully understand how to bring the ball back yet, but she tries.Cali has shown un-confident behaviors with other dogs, and can be nervous with them. We think she`d do best with a submissive male- no females! As for cats, Cali needs a home free of felines. Due to her jumpiness, she`d do best with kids over the age of 10 years old.Interested in meeting Cali? Swing on down to KVHS during available adoption hours to meet her!

Story
Introducing Morado!A big boy who loves to stretch his legs, play fetch in the yard (Though it`s 50/50 if he brings it back!), and FOOD! Morado is a smart boy who knows sit and has been working on his leash manners. He catches onto things quickly (Like sitting in front of you instead of jumping on you for attention) and treat based training has been working well with this guy! He can be your typical husky mix- loud, rambunctious, and full of playful spirit and sass!Although Morado prefers his home to be free of felines, he would do well with kids over the age of 12. He has a tendency of being snatchy with toys and treats, although we have been working on it here at KVHS! As for dogs, Morado can get over excited when meeting them. He`s looking for a dog who tolerates rough play styles!Overall, Morado is an energetic, eager to please, handsome dude looking for a home to keep him active and get out that energy!Interested in meeting Morado? Swing on down to KVHS with the whole family to ask to meet him!

Story
Meet Dewey!Dewey is a very sweet boy who loves food! He is not always aware of his surrounds and tends to act like a bull in a China shop. He loves to be with his people and can sometimes be vocal when left alone. He is looking for a home with no other dogs, no cats, and no kids under 16 years old. Interested in meeting Dewey come down to KVHS with the whole family to meet him!

Story
Gizmo is a sweet old man looking for his retirement home. Don`t let his old age fool you, this guy is a sucker for a good tennis ball! Mellow and affectionate, Gizmo enjoys the relaxed pace of life and long walks are his favorite. Due to his advanced age and unwillingness to share his rawhides (once he has one, it`s HIS, young whippersnapper!), we`re recommending kids 12 and over for this fellow. Gizmo has successfully lived with cats in the past, so dog savvy kitties should fare well with him!
