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! Do you think we could be besties? Come meet me and let's find out! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Our standard adoption fee is $375 cash or check and $385 credit card ($10 processing fee). .

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
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Tera — Mama of the T Litter and Queen of the Dino Roar! Tera is a 3-year-old Pittie mix with a heart of gold and a voice that could star in Jurassic Bark. When she’s in her kennel, she sounds like a tiny pterodactyl demanding snacks and attention — but the second she’s out, she’s as sweet and gentle as can be. Pure cuddle bug mode activated! Tera is a super energetic, playful girl who brings a ton of joy (and zoomies!) wherever she goes. She loves toys, treats, and anyone ready for a good cuddle once she’s settled. Tera is still learning her manners and will do best with a family with older kids or someone who can provide consistency and structure. When left alone, she does great in her crate—no accidents and she settles in well. Because she’s still working on house training outside of the crate, she does best with three walks a day to avoid indoor accidents. We're practicing calmer greetings and the “sit” command, especially before walks. When she sees you putting on your shoes, she can get mouthy or try to grab items, so patience and continued training will go a long way. Once she’s relaxed, she transforms into the sweetest snuggle buddy who loves to curl up and soak in the affection. Tera is a smart, loving pup with a lot of potential and a lot of heart. With the right adopter—someone patient, active, and consistent—she will make an incredible companion. &#226&#156&#168 Come meet this silly, loving sweetheart and give her the home she’s been dreaming of.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Meet Mello!  An adorable pittie mix, who we estimate to be 1-2 years old. Mello recently came in from transport and has totally stolen the hearts of the volunteers!  Mello is treat and toy motivated, making training a lot easier for this big guy!   Here’s more information about Mello: Walks- Mello loves walks, but needs some practice on how to walk nicely on a leash, however we already see improvements.  Dogs- Mellos doggy neighbor Sweetie and him are quiet and do well next to each other (maybe Mello has a little crush&#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143). So we suspect he would do good with dogs, however a proper introduction would be best to tell for sure. Treats- Mello loves treats, but needs some practice on how to take them slowly, he does sit very nicely for them though!  Tricks- Mello knows sit currently, he will do it when asked typically, however needs more consistency on it! Overall, Mello is a sweet clumsy boy who would love a home or foster of his own. With patience, training and dedication, Mello will become the most well mannered boy, as he always wants to please you. If interested in Mello be sure to fill out an application on our website, whether you want to foster or give him a place to call his furever .  apply at projecthopearf.org      Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 17, 2026, 9:14 pm

Story
IF INTERESTED PLEASE TEXT OR CALL 630-479-0293 EMAIL: SHELBY.SIEGBAHN40@GMAIL.COM Scarlett is a 3-year-old pitbull mountain Kerr mix. She is a young, energetic, loving, playful dog, and she will love to cuddle with you. Scarlett does need to be the only pet in the house. She cannot be with cats or other dogs. It is unknown how she is with kids. We never had kids in the family Scarlett is a great pet and a very loving companion but unfortunately, she has been having issues with the other pets in the home and that is why we need to rehome her both the cat and the dog who she does not get along with were in the house for years prior to getting Scarlett. Although this is a very heartbreaking decision to make, I know this is what will be best for my baby. I just wish whoever is her next owner gives her all the love in the world and treats her the best they possibly can because she is a great dog and I wish I was able to keep her, b ultimately, this is the best decision for her.
