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.January 20, 2026, 11:26 pm

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
Anchor Arms: A Bikini Bottom Legend on Four Paws Named after Anchor Arms from the iconic series SpongeBob SquarePants, Anchor Arms is a very sweet, energetic and playful ~6 months old Pit mix. This boy is going to be a large adult dog, and while he is a very friendly guy he is looking for an owner who is ready for lots of exercise and training to help him grow to be the best adult dog he can be! We think that he would do fine with other animals and children, but would assume he will still need work with housetraining due to his age. Thinking of adopting? "Well, now you too can have muscles! With Anchor Arms!". His adoption fee is $150 and he is now neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. Please stop by the shelter to meet him during open business hours, or call/email with questions: 630-553-9256 or animalcontrol@kendallcountyil.gov. If you would like to place a 24 hour hold, you can do so by completing and submitted our online application via email.

Story
Meet adoptable Penny Parker! Penny Parker is an approximately 10 months old female American Bully who was brought in as a stray and was never reclaimed. Penny is a very sweet girl, who enjoys human attention and has the cutest zoomies we've ever seen! She weighs approximately 35 lbs and while she will grow a bit more, she is nearly her adult weight/size. Penny is good with other dogs. She does have what appears to be a B-B healed under the skin of her face, which is very upsetting to us but doesn't bother her at all. Her adoption fee is $150 and she is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting this sweet girl, stop by the shelter or call/email with questions: 630-553-9256 or animalcontrol@kendallcountyil.gov. To place a 24 hour hold, our adoption application can be submitted via email and the application can be found at the following link: https://www.kendallcountyil.gov/.../26/638605331546270000

Story
Who doesn't love a Big Mac? 🍔🍟 Reportedly found outside of a McDonalds, this big beefcake promptly received the name Big Mac -- and it fits so well. Big Mac is an older adult (maybe 6 years old?) Pit/Bully mix who was a stray and never reclaimed by an owner. He is a very sweet, but sensitive boy who took a lot of time to adjust to life in the shelter. After getting comfortable here, he has begun to thrive and enjoys toys, dress up, and snuggles from staff. As he started off very stressed and fearful here, we haven't proceeded with official dog and cat testing, but so far based on behavior here he would likely be fine with dogs, but we think he would do best in a home without kitties. Big Mac is housetrained, and keeps his kennel nice and clean here. He also rides well in the car. Due to his sensitive nature, we think he would do best in an adult only home. His adoption fee is $150, he will be neutered prior to leaving the shelter, is vaccinated, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Big Mac is looking for adopters OR rescue placement. Please stop by to meet Big Mac during our normal open business hours, or call or email 630-553-9256 or animalcontrol@kendallcountyil.gov with any questions.
