Story
Hes very energetic (obviously) and sweet. Loves giving kisses but also love-nips a bit too. Hes very vocal when he wants attention or is alone or gated in a room. Hes not great about letting you know when he has to pee, but does whine when he needs to poop. He doesn't know many commands. He has sit, and down, come and heal if there are treats involved. He hasn't been leesh trained but has already made a lot of progress in just a short time, so theres promise there. He is very smart and curious and wants to be included in everything you do/be near you. A cuddler on his own terms too. He really wants to be sweet but he's got some trauma and needs someone who can set up the predictable, never changing, environment with the time to provide positive reinforcement until he can eventually mend and relearn life is not as scary as it has been for him 💔 He would do best in a home with no, or older, children and the only pet.

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
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
**Foster-to-adopt eligible**Calling all big dog lovers; Meet Capone!Although his size might be intimidating (He`s roughly 65lbs), he`s a big baby who loves throwing himself against your legs for butt scratches and is happy to meet new people! He loves treats and food- the soft type is some of his favorite. He makes an amazing copilot in the car and will gladly sprawl out in the back seat with the window cracked! He`s used to traveling and has behaved well in different settings. He knows sit, down, and has been working on wait. Although he could use a brush up on his leash manners, we`ve been working on loose leash walking! He loves to go, go, go.Capone would thrive as the only animal in the home; he much prefers having attention solely on himself. As for children, due to his size/ strength (He forgets how big he is) he`s looking for a home with teenagers (15yrs+)!Interested in meeting the handsomest guy around? Swing on down to KVHS with the whole family to meet him!

Story
Meet Winston,A big old love bug who enjoys being stubborn, going outside (His favorite place to be), and he LOVES meeting new people! Winston has previously lived with dogs, and we believe he`d do well in a home with other! He`s never lived with cats, but with proper introductions, we think he`d be successful with them. Winston would do well with children as well!Winston is a special dog looking for a specific home- one that understands his complex medical needs. He`s on a prescription diet called Z/D along with thyro-tabs, allergy relief, apoquel. He has very sensitive skin, so he will need to be on the Z/D for the rest of his life.Interested in meeting this hunk of a lab mix? Swing on down to KVHS during available adoption hours!

Story
Hi, I’m Maggie! I’m a 7 month-old lab mix (I’ll be a little older by the time I arrive in Maine!) and I am as cute as a button 💛 I’m a happy, wiggly little puppy who loves everyone I meet. I enjoy playing with toys, snuggling up for naps, and following my people around to see what they’re doing. I’m great with other dogs and would do well with kids too—I just have that classic sweet, friendly lab personality. Since I’m still young, I’m working on all my puppy basics like crate training and potty training. I’m looking for a family that’s ready for the fun (and a little bit of chaos!) that comes with raising a puppy. If you’re looking for a loving, playful girl to grow up with your family, I might just be your perfect match 🐾
