Story

Poe is a pit bull mix who has been a beloved member of our family for nearly 3 years. He is incredibly smart, affectionate, and full of energy. He loves to run, play, snuggle, and be involved in whatever his people are doing. Poe does well with other dogs but likes to be the dominant personality and benefits from proper introductions. He has lived with children and enjoys playing with them, though he can play rough when excited and doesn't always realize his size and strength. He has lived with cats and is usually good with them, but his prey drive can occasionally lead to chasing. Poe has shown some resource guarding in his crate, which he considers his safe space, and can be territorial along fence lines. He also has seasonal allergies that can affect his comfort. We love Poe dearly, but he needs more time, attention, exercise, and structure than we can provide. We're hoping to find him a loving home where he can thrive and get the attention he deserves.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi! My name is Sparkles and that definitely reflects my personality! I'm a super sweet 1.5yr old female that loves everyone and everything. I am a white terrier mix that has gorgeous blues eyes if I don't say so myself. And don't worry about being too noisy...I'm deaf! I don't let that slow me down at all, I am doing great learning signs for commands and I have great manners (although I might need some help with reminders in a new home with a new routine). I learn quickly though and get along with everyone. I really love playing with other dogs and I don't mind cats at all (my foster home has a really cool one and we are becoming friends). I am fixed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped...I did test positive for heartworms but have completed treatment, however there is some continued care I will need to ensure that things are all cleared that will have to be continued in my forever home (continued heartworm preventative and 6 month retesting). My adoption fee is $350 To adopt Sparkles, fill out an application at www.kakf.org/formsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 10:58 am

Story

🐶 Cherrybelle 🐶 2-3 yrs old Pittie mix 55lbs Do over! You know when you find yourself in a messy situation and you just really need a reset button? That's where I am! I had a rough beginning without all the love I now know that I deserve. Can you relate? Now, with the help of an amazing rescue team and my foster family I've had some time to work on me and get the care and love I needed. I'm getting my Do Over! I had heartworm, got treatment, beat it! I had cherry-eye, got surgery, no more eye problems! I was very underweight, I've been eating well with extra treats! I now have a strong and healthy body with a beautiful coat. I didn't even know how to doggo! Now I know how to play with toys and run the yard with my doggo friends. I may have even rolled in the mud a couple times heh... not gonna lie, it was messy but fun! I am house broken and crate trained. I don't LOVE my crate but I do well with it. I eat in there so I don't have to worry about the other dogs trying to steal my food and I also stay in there when my people are gone and when it's bedtime. I have a lot of pup brothers and sisters here and sometimes I get territorial and pushy, I've improved my manners a lot since living here though. I love playing with my pup friends but I also love my people! Couch cuddles, playing and a good ear massage, ? it! It's going to be a good life now, I can feel it in my waggy tail!

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I'm Omega! I've heard people say I'm one of the favorites, and honestly, I think it's because I have the perfect combination of sweet and spunky. I absolutely love to cuddle. If there's a lap available, I'm probably already climbing into it. I have a gentle, affectionate personality and love being close to my people. Snuggles are definitely one of my favorite things. But don't let my sweet side fool you—I have a little adventurous streak too! I was the first puppy in the litter to figure out how to climb out of the pen. While everyone else was wondering what was on the other side, I was already off exploring. My foster family quickly learned that I'm smart, curious, and not afraid to take the lead. Even though I'm one of the girls, I have no problem standing my ground when my brothers get a little too rowdy. If they tackle me one too many times, I'm happy to remind them that I'm just as tough as they are! I may be sweet, but I'm definitely not a pushover. I love playing with my siblings, discovering new things, and then settling in for cuddle time afterward. My personality is the perfect mix of confidence, affection, and fun. As I continue to grow, I'm looking for a family that will appreciate my loving heart, my adventurous spirit, and my determination to keep up with the boys. I may be small now, but I have a big personality and an even bigger heart. Could I be the perfect addition to your family?

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I'm Ocean! I'm the smallest puppy in my litter, but what I lack in size, I make up for in sweetness. Everyone says I'm an absolute doll, and honestly, I can't argue with them. I have a gentle, soft personality and a heart that's just as big as my bigger siblings'. While some puppies are busy causing chaos and getting into mischief, I'm usually looking for a cozy spot to cuddle up or a person to snuggle with. I'm a little timid when meeting new people and exploring new things, but once I feel safe, my sweet personality shines through. I don't need to be the center of attention—I just want to be close to the people I love. And if you can't find me, there's a good chance I'm with my mama. I'm definitely a mama's girl and love being close to her whenever I can. She makes me feel safe, and I know she's helped me become the gentle, loving puppy I am today. â¤ï¸ For a puppy, I'm surprisingly calm. Don't get me wrong—I still enjoy playing with my siblings and exploring the world around me. But after a little fun, you'll usually find me curled up for a nap or happily soaking up cuddles. I dream of finding a family that will be patient with me, help build my confidence, and give me all the love and snuggles my little heart desires. In return, I promise to be a loyal companion, a professional cuddle buddy, and your biggest fan. I may be the smallest in the litter, but I have so much love to give. Could you be the family I've been waiting for?

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I'm Oracle My sister Orbit and I are twins. We're two adorable siblings with matching white markings on our paws and chests. If you're trying to tell us apart, look closely! One of us has a slightly more prominent white spot above our eye. That's usually the giveaway. While some of our littermates are busy racing around and causing puppy chaos, we're a little different. We have gentle souls and calm personalities. Our foster family says we're some of the quieter puppies in the litter, and we're perfectly happy spending our time snuggled up with each other or cuddled in someone's arms. Being held is one of our favorite things. We melt right into your arms and soak up every bit of love and affection we can get. There's just something wonderful about feeling safe, warm, and close to our people. We're sweet, affectionate puppies who enjoy exploring the world, but we're not usually the ones leading the charge. We'd much rather take things at our own pace, enjoy some cuddles, and watch what's happening around us before joining in. Our calm, loving personalities make us easy to fall in love with. We're the kind of puppies who will happily curl up beside you after playtime and remind you that sometimes the best moments are the quiet ones. We're growing fast and will soon be ready to find families of our own. Until then, we'll be here—snuggling, cuddling, and winning hearts one puppy kiss at a time.
