Story
Meet Daisy!Daisy is a very nervous girl who is looking for a home with a lot of patients and love to give her. She is very nervous of new people and it takes her time to warm up to you and become comfortable. Once she does warm up to you, she is the sweetest girl and loves to run around in a yard. Treats are definitely the way to her heart! She is also looking for a home with dog savvy cats and no kids under 18 years old. She has previously lived with other dogs, so she is willing to meet any future dog siblings. Since she is so nervous we would also recommend an experienced owner and somebody who is willing to possibly have to meet her a few times before taking her home. Interested in meeting Daisy come down to KVHS with the whole family to meet her!

Story
Meet Tonka — A Fun-Loving Shepherd Mix with Lots to Learn! Tonka is a young shepherd mix looking for a fun and loving home that understands the needs of his breed. This teenage guy came to us as a stray, so his history with other dogs, children, and cats is unknown. What we have learned is that Tonka is an enthusiastic young dog who is still figuring out how to navigate the world! He may not have had much structure in his young life, but he has plenty of potential and is ready to learn. Like many adolescent shepherds, he’ll need guidance, engagement, and positive outlets for his energy and clever mind.Tonka is looking for a family ready to help him build good manners and develop into a well-rounded companion. He’ll benefit from consistent, reward-based training, fun activities, enrichment toys, and plenty of opportunities to use both his brain and body. Meet-and-greets with children and any resident dogs are required to make sure his enthusiasm is a good fit for everyone. His history with cats is unknown, so careful introductions and management would be important if cats are part of the household. With patience, structure, and a family ready to embrace the fun of raising a teenage shepherd, Tonka could be an amazing adventure buddy! Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet’s behavior in your home.

Story
Bowie is a handsome 6 year old German Shepherd mix. He’s a true people person with a big heart and lots of love to give! He may be a big guy, but he’s also a bit of a scaredy-cat. He can be a little skittish at times and may need some patience and reassurance while he gets comfortable. Once he trusts you, though, he’s all about being close to his favorite people!This guy is also very food motivated, which makes training with treats a great way to bond with him and help him learn. The way to his heart is definitely through his stomach!His favorite place to be is right beside his human, preferably snuggled up on the couch getting all the cuddles. When he’s not soaking up affection, you can find him enjoying his favorite activities: chewing on a good bone, sun bathing, or happily rolling around in the backyard. He’s looking for a special home where he can be the center of attention and enjoy all the love, comfort, and companionship he deserves.

Story
Meet Mayble — A Sweet Soul Ready for Her Happy Ending Mayble is a sweet, silly girl with a heart full of love who is looking for a family committed to helping her feel safe and secure. She was originally adopted from us as a puppy and returned in 2025 after the arrival of a new baby made her home too stressful. After spending a few months back at the shelter, she was adopted again, but sadly recently returned to us as a stray. We don`t know what happened in her most recent home, but we do know she was living with a child. This time around, Mayble has been much happier and more confident at the shelter, and it`s been wonderful watching her personality shine.Mayble is looking for a patient family that understands she can struggle with anxiety and will continue helping her build confidence. She has never lived with other animals that we know of but has done well meeting dogs on leash here at the shelter, so any introductions should be slow and thoughtful. Veterinary visits are especially stressful for Mayble, so our staff has been working on muzzle training to help make her care safer and less overwhelming. She deserves a family that will be committed to her for life and continue helping her thrive. In return, Mayble will reward them with endless love, laughter, and loyalty.
