Story
Nova means new and this amazing dog is ready for her new forever home. Could it be you? Nova just like her namesake is a bright star with powerful energy. Her loving spirit will melt your heart. She just wants to be with her people. She is both a snuggle bug and a playful, funny girl. She knows basic commands and has been a great addition to her foster family. She gets along with her foster brother, they play and share the house space well, but would need to be cat tested. She loves walks, toys (the tough kind), and time with her humans. She is treat-motivated and has continued crate training and leash work in her foster home, of which she has made enormous progress in a short time. She would need a home committed to continuing this work as well as addressing her allergy issues through diet and over-the-counter allergy medication. Her foster parents are Emily Z.    The adoption fee for Nova is $250.Please complete our online application form if you are interested in adopting Nova. A volunteer will contact you as soon as possible. Click here to go to the online adoption form All Kalamazoo Animal Rescue dogs & puppies are spayed or neutered prior to adoption.

Story
If you're looking for a human toddler in pittie form, Jenny's your girl. Jenny loves suckling her blankies, wearing jammies, and playing with toys. When she wears herself out, she loves cuddling next to you on the couch or following the sunspot on the floor. Jenny sometimes acts demanding like a human toddler, but like a human toddler, she is learning how to use other tools to advocate for herself, like a quiet groan to ask for something instead of a loud bark. Jenny is good with cats, and she would love a playful and laid-back dog companion (a meet-and-greet is required). She has a sweet friendship with another available KAR dog, Gretel, and they love to romp and have occasional sleepovers. Jenny is good with kids. Because of her rambunctious play style and the fact that she's a bowling ball with legs, older kids are the best fit for her. She would love a fenced-in yard. Her foster parents are Kathi V.    The adoption fee for Jenny is $300.Please complete our online application form if you are interested in adopting Jenny.

Story
Gretel is the silliest being I’ve ever met. She is so full of life and energy, it’s motivating. We know she didn’t have a great past, and there’s really point dwelling on it because that life is in the rear view mirror!!I would love to see her have a dog buddy to wrestle and run with in her happy forever life. Gretel can come on a bit strong, so it can’t be just any dog. She needs a dog who has patience for a puppy pest! Gretel is mostly house-trained but still has an occasional accident from previously living outside. It took a little bit of time to get her to understand she ONLY potties outside, but she’s 90% there! She’s very treat motivated and loves to learn. It has been a very fun and rewarding experience working with her this far! I can’t say enough good things about this pup. She’s incredible! Her foster parents are Michelle Y.    The adoption fee for Gretel is $300.Please complete our online application form if you are interested in adopting Gretel.

Story
Meet Bella!Bella came to KAR through Kalamazoo County Animal Service as a stray. Bella was skinny after having puppies and was not doing well in the kennel. Alongside another rescue, KAR worked to get Bella into a foster home where she was able to receive some nutrition after being a dynamite mom to her pups. Bella has been around a family with kids, cats and other dogs. She would do perfectly well in a home with kids and cats. She would do better with a male dog than a female dog. does this cute lip sucking thing (like in the first picture) when she is happy or excited! Things Bella is great at:1. Loving! She was a great mom and wants to be around her people. Driving, playing, sleeping, whatever it is, Bella wants to be there with you. 2. Playing! Sticks are her favorite, she loves to collect these on walks. 3. Kids! This girl was meant for a family with kids or who have frequent kid visitors. She is still working on knowing her strength but loves to follow kids around and lick them. 4. Bella is very treat driven and is very easily trainable. Bella is working on:1. Walking on a leash without pulling. She still has some puppy energy and gets so excited to go outside. 2. Taking treats gently and releasing toys when playing. She probably never got a lot of treats or food to herself so she likes to play and is eager for a treat. Her foster parents are Tracy A.    The adoption fee for Bella is $300.Please complete our online application form if you are interested in adopting Bella.

Story
Bella is a very sweet dog. She is great with my two younger children and gets along well with my cat and older Pitt bull. So why do I need to re-home her? Since I purchased her, I have needed to go back to work full time and have become a single mother. She just isn't getting the attention she deserves and I feel horrible about that. I hope she can find a loving home with lots of room to romp and play.

Story
Alani Alani is a Female Pit Bull Terrier mix DOB: May 2021 Adoption fee: $125.00 I am a sweet girl, but the shelter is a busy place for a quiet lady like me. I was timid when I arrived, not understanding the routine, now I am excited to see the staff and I have settled into the daily schedule. I will require a physically fenced yard. I was recently spayed and have not been introduced to other dogs other than through the fence. I like to bounce along the kennel with a couple of the other dogs but could be simply fine as an only dog. I have not been tested on cats yet. Pending observed interaction, I am recommended for children 10 years and older. I love pets and would enjoy going for leash walks. If you are interested in being my adopter, please visit my shelter's website and complete the adoption application that is available there! HSSCM.org you can find the applications under the "adoptions" tab.

Story
Was left on the side of the road so we took her in. She unfortunately does not get along with my cat or my other dog and because of this we are unable to give her the best life she deserves. She spends a lot of time in the crate because she continues to go after the other animals in the house. She has not taken to our electric collar fence like my other dog so she is also tied up outside so she can not attack our neighbors dogs. Need gone ASAP for the health of my other animals.

Hello, Ellie Mea has been a big part of our family for the last five years. We rescued her as a puppy in 2018 and have another dog who she is very close to. The two have been inseparable however we are saddened to have to find new homes for both due relocation. She does best with a playmate. She is extremely playful with other dogs and loves the game of chase. She is fast and agile and rarely can be caught. Not a good dog for cats however. I think she would catch them! She is incredibly smart. She watches you and can figure things out like opening doors so make sure to lock them. She is silly and cute and lovable. When she sleeps she likes to get under a blanket. She would do best in a home with a fenced in backyard as she needs to run and play often. She also loves dog parks. Looking for someone to love and care for her as much as I have.
