Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.George has a long and sad story with a happy ending coming soon.  One of our volunteers first met George when he was a puppy with little shelter or food.  She would bring him food and lobby for help for him but none ever came.  A few years later and another volunteer met George at our local vet and was so impressed with his friendly demeanor that she followed up with the shelter.  George had been removed from his home for neglect and had been waiting at animal control for his furever family to show up. George is small for a pittie- only about 40 lbs and he is quiet so he continually got overlooked.  The shelter is always crowded and suddenly George found himself on the euthanasia list because he tested positive for heartworm.  He was literally hours from being put down when we pulled him.  Once she met him, our first volunteer realized that he was the grown up puppy she had helped so many years ago and she is now fostering him as he goes through his heartworm treatment.   George can be adopted to a local family willing to take him to our vet(located on the Eastern Shore of VA) for 2 visits to complete his treatment and then one final visit to be neutered.  George has a long life ahead of him and is so deserving of a loving home.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 12, 2024, 8:06 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Polly and her family of 3 teenage puppies were found fending for themselves on the ESVA.  They were trapped and brought to the local animal control.  Our President, Susanne Hoshino, was struck by her lovely personality and friendly demeanor so as soon as a foster home opened up, we welcomed her to KMR.  We believe she is dog and cat friendly and know she is people friendly, although a bit timid initially.  She is easy to walk.    She will be spayed mid September. Adoption donation includes all vaccinations, spay and microchip. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 12, 2024, 8:06 am

Story
King is a mix breed large adult male dog that I adopted 8yrs ago from Kent county DE. King has been a good dog to me and is up to date with vaccinations. I am now married with a 1yr old baby at the house. I have two other dogs and we’re in need of down sizing. King recently got a tumor removed from inside his mouth but is cancer free now. King should be an only dog due to some jealousy issues. Due to his size he should have an experienced handler. King loves car rides and going to the beach. King was an inside dog however now an outside dog with an air conditioned shed. King is protective of his owners/property.
