Story
**Foster-to-adopt eligible**Meet Jax!Jax can be very nervous at first but once he warms up to you, he is the sweetest boy. The way to Jax`s heart is either with food as he is very food motivated or with a tennis ball. Some of his favorite things are playing in the snow, going on long walks or hikes, running around, and playing with a tennis ball. He would do best with someone who is willing to work on some more training with him as he is super smart and catches on pretty quick. He would also benefit from a home with no kids under 10 and dog savvy cats. Interested in meeting Jax? Swing on down to KVHS with the whole family (Including future dog siblings) to meet him!

Story
Meet Oakley! 🐾 Oakley is a 3.5-year-old Lab mix who came to us as a local owner surrender after his family realized they didn’t have enough time for him. This handsome boy is everything you’d want in a lab — loving, loyal, goofy, and always ready for cuddles. Oakley gets along great with other dogs, kids, and even cats! He would especially thrive in a home with another playful dog, preferably a female companion. He’s housebroken and enjoys being around his people as much as possible. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate best friend who will happily soak up all the love and attention you can give, Oakley may be your perfect match. ❤️

Story
Jessie is a beautiful 5-year-old Husky whose world is being turned upside down through no fault of her own. Her owner is facing serious health challenges and must move out of state for treatment, making the heartbreaking decision to find Jessie a new home. Despite the changes around her, Jessie remains a fun-loving, easygoing girl. She enjoys going on hikes just as much as she loves lounging and relaxing with her people. She has a wonderful temperament and gets along great with other dogs, kids, and even cats. Jessie will be coming into our care soon, where she will be brought up to date on all vaccinations and spayed. She is expected to be ready for adoption at the end of May and will be looking for a loving family to give her the fresh start she deserves.
