Story
To help us make a great fit for you, and any of our dogs as well, please include information about yourself(Home, family, yard/fence, work hours, other pets...) and/or use our application at sparrowdogs.com. COURTESY POST---This handsome boy is NOT with our rescue, he is with his family right now and we are helping them to find a wonderful home for Cooper. You can look at his pictures and see that Cooper is a very much loved family member. He has had a wonderful life with his people, and his other dog pal. And he really is an awesome guy, full of life and exuberance. But, that occasional over the top personality is a little too much for a family that just welcomed a newborn. So, no judgement there, they are just trying to make the best decisions for their baby as well as Cooper. Cooper is a 5 year old Pitbull mix. The family had initially adopted him a few years ago from a rescue, he had been left tied to a tree at some point in his life and was also heartworm positive. He has been treated for the heartworms and he is a healthy, robust and fully vetted boy. Cooper has lived with his other dog buddy and does well. Occasionally they play a little too rough(of course!) when they get a bit excited. He also lives with a cat that he wants to play with, however, the cat is not that interested in playing with Cooper, lol. Cooper's family says that he can be a little bit of an energy overload at times, he gets so exited meeting new people and dogs, gets excited about being outside and will jump on people and even has a big waggy tail that can hurt a little bit on the receiving end, lol. He is on some calming meds at this point, but perhaps could wean off of them in a small child free and also an active home to burn off some of that energy. Cooper's family has been working with a trainer and he is doing well. HE knows, sit, lay, shake and is doing well with place training on a mat, as well as a slip lead for a calming control device. When Cooper is not enjoying all the excitement of his life he is also a very laid back guy. If you are relaxing, well, he is right there with you. Cooper is a professional snuggler and loves to be by your side, keeping your feet warm in bed, or cozied up for some Netflix! Cooper will most likely do better in a rural situation where he does not have as many distractions such as other dogs, people cars and such to get him overly excited. Cooper is an extra special guy that deserves all the best. His family is hoping to find an active, loving home, older kids would be best. He lives with another male dog now, but really does well with older female dogs. If you have an awesome home for an awesome dog, please email Kristine at joysparrows@gmail.com.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Bella...Yes, that Bella - the loyal, soulful girl who takes her role as your shadow very seriously.  Bella is a 3 year old spayed pit mix with a huge heart and even bigger capacity for love.  Once she bonds with you, you're her person, period.  She's affectionate, goofy, and happiest when she knows exactly where her humans are.  Bella enjoys her walks and generally does well on a leash, though she may pull at times when she's excited (life is just very thrilling sometimes).   She's crate trained at night and settles well, but she does have some separation anxiety and would do best with someone who understands this and can help her continue to build confidence when left alone.  Poor Bella was brought into the rescue with 4 other pit bulls who were abandoned when their owner died, she was locked in the room with her deceased owner and this seems to have created a lot of anxiety and separation issues that she has come a long way on but still has some work to do.  Bella's ideal home is cat free and with older kids who understand dog boundaries.  A family or person willing to be patient and consistent and she does great with other dogs and is currently living with 2 big male dogs.  Bella is also up to date on vaccines, neg heartworm test, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $350 To adopt Bella, fill out an application at www.kakf.org/formsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 6, 2026, 11:53 pm

Story
Cuzzin Eddie is here! He is a typical happy-go-lucky hippo that was part of a hoarder situation. He craves love! And more love. He has some flea dermatitis that is already improving. He is a handsome fella in the making. The other dogs do not phase him, and he probably lived with many. He either ignores the cats or plays with them. If you are looking for a lovable hippo who will be your Velcro buddy, Eddie is the visitor who will never leave!

Story
Clark came to us right as an owner surrender. He lived most of his 5 years in a kennel on a front porch. He must have done a lot of kennel chewing out of frustration because he will need dental work. We are adopting this handsome boy out of our senior rate. Despite his neglected start to life, all he wants to do is lie next to his person and chill. He does have some kennel stress, so we let him come up and chill out. He keeps his kennel clean, so he is pretty much potty trained. He leaves the kitties alone up front. He is the perfect pitty size of 44 lbs. And it is all love. He deserves a life outside of the bars more than most.
