Story
Poppy is a sweet 2 year old mixed breed terrier/boxer/shepherd mix. She is very energetic and loves people of all ages with slower introductions. She has lived with cats, but does have a strong prey drive and would recommend a home without to be safe. She has also lived with another female dog and was amicable/friendly but these introductions should also be very slow. She can walk on a leash but pulls and needs someone confident to work with her. She is fear reactive towards unknown, but again, someone confident can really turn this around. She is so smart and willing to learn. Loves treats, toys and running outdoors so a fenced in years would be wonderful for her. I recently came into a serious health issue that will make caring for a young dog too difficult and she deserves the world. Please reach out with any questions or interest. I will require references to ensure she gets the best home possible.

Story
Ella is a beautiful lab/German Shepherd mix. We have had her for about a month. She is fairly active and likes to be outside. She loves to bury her head under pillows in her bed. Ella would thrive in a home where she is the only dog. She is fine with children and adults. Ella is completely house trained. She has never had an accident in our home. She sleeps through the night from about 7pm - 6am. She is very trainable. In just a few weeks, we trained her to use only the woods for her bathroom duties. Ella is very strong, but very lovable. The only reason my husband and I cannot keep her is because our children have dogs and visit often. Ella does not get along well with other dogs. Ella is current with all of her shots and she is spayed and microchipped. She does not have any medical needs. Ella will be a wonderful dog for you if you don't have other dogs in your life!

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
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!

Story
Meet Loki, Loki is an absolute lovebug that will be devoted to his new family. He is looking for someone to help build his confidence in new situations. Loki`s ideal home will have an adult who works from home or is able to take Loki to work, or who is retired and home all the time. We think he will do well with children ages 5 years old and up and shine as the only animal in your home.If you are interested in meeting Loki, please stop by KVHS with all human family members.
