Story
Meet Barry, ***Foster-to-adopt eligible***Do you enjoy your dogs to be safely described as `meatheads?` Do you appreciate a dog that knows his own mind? Barry sniffs and walks where he wants to walk. While helping him to learn leash manners, you may feel as though your leash is attached to a brick wall. You will just have to be the brick wall right back! It will be very empowering. Cats? Not allowed in Barry`s house! Other dogs eating? Definitely not allowed in the same room as Barry. Children under 12 will turn into pancakes with his heft; therefore we ask that Barry goes home with older children; Barry knows the feats of strength he has to offer. Strangers or visitors coming into the home will be exposed to a strict vetting process that will definitely be paired with barking until you have convinced him that these are new people to show off his toys to. Barry insists his joints be treated with love and respect through a continued weight loss regimen and the medication Carprofen for life. If you are interested in making Barry a permanent member of your family, please stop by with all human and canine family members.

Story
Meet Victoria;She is a girl who knows what she wants. At a year and a half, she`s your typical hound: very social with people, vocal, very nose to the ground. She loves making new human friends and going long walks to get out that pent up energy! This queenly girl will love to snuggle up to you on your couch, but she is unwilling to share your love with other canines. She might be willing to share your home with cat friends but we don`t know if she has ever lived with them before. Her ideal home will have a fenced in yard so she can`t roam, or will have someone who is willing to continue to work on her leash manners. Interested in meeting Victoria? Swing on down to KVHS during available adoption hours to meet her with the whole family!

Her previous human worked hard with her on learning to control her `outbursts` and it shows. She also taught her so many new tricks that she didn`t know the last time she was with us! Her human loves her so much, but unforeseen life changes happened, and her human had to make a very heartbreaking choice for themselves and Lilly. We are looking for a perfect match for our sweet Lilly Rose will it be you?

Meet Daisy Mae, ***Foster-to-adopt eligible***If DOG IS MY COPILOT is your motto, one of Daisy Mae`s chief pleasures in life is going for rides in the car.

Story
Meet Freya, Freya is a boisterous, fun-loving dog who enjoys playing and getting attention from people. She has lived with other dogs in the past and so is willing to meet potential canine siblings already living in her next home. Freya politely requests a cat free home and asks that if it contains children that they don`t mind being knocked around by this bull in a china shop. At KVHS, Freya is working on keeping all four paws on the ground and also practicing her loose-leash walking. If you are interested in meeting this kissable girl, please stop by KVHS with all human and canine family members.
