ZIGGY
Meet Ziggy 💛
This sweet 6-month-old girl is full of personality and just waiting for the right home to help her shine. Ziggy absolutely loves her evening snuggles—she’ll happily soak up all the pets and affection once she settles in for the night. During the day, she can be a little shy at first, but with patience and a calm environment, her confidence continues to grow.
Ziggy is great with other dogs and would truly thrive in a home with a playful doggy companion (she’d love a buddy like Buddy!). She enjoys playtime and companionship, and having another dog helps bring out her best.
She does have a playful curiosity when it comes to cats—she may chase them, but it’s all in the spirit of wanting a playmate.
Ziggy also has a strong voice and isn’t afraid to use it! She can be a bit of a barker, especially when left alone, so a home that understands and can work with her on this would be ideal. On the plus side, she’ll definitely let you know if someone’s around!
✨ Spayed
✨ Microchipped
✨ About 6 months old
Ziggy would do best in a calm, patient home where she can continue building confidence and feel safe, loved, and secure.
If you’re looking for a sweet, playful companion and have another dog who needs a friend, Ziggy could be your perfect match 💕

GIRLY GIRL
🐾 Meet Girly Girl – A Joyful Spirit Looking for Her Forever Home 🐾
Girly Girl is a beautiful 50-lb, high-energy spayed female, estimated to be between 2–5 years old, and she is absolutely full of life and love. She has been dewormed and treated for fleas, and now she’s ready to find the family she’s been waiting for.
Girly Girl is sweet, friendly, and playful, though she can be a little skittish with adults at first. Once she feels comfortable, her goofy personality shines. She loves children and other dogs, and while she’s curious about cats, she mostly tries to play with them by chasing. In fact, one of the cats confidently walks right up to her to touch noses!
This happy girl is always ready for fun. She loves to zoom around the yard, playfully nip at your back to invite you to play, shred cardboard boxes, and sneak off with shoes to hide them. When the excitement settles down, Girly Girl enjoys relaxing nearby and will happily curl up at your feet — or try to climb into your lap for some affection.
She currently spends her time in the carport (not tied up) and does well with that setup, but what she truly needs is a permanent home where she has room to run and other dogs to play with.
With her energy and adventurous spirit, Girly Girl would make an incredible companion for someone who enjoys hiking, running, or outdoor adventures.
She is truly a special soul — an amazing being full of joy, love, and personality — just waiting for someone to give her the forever home she deserves.

JAGGAR
Meet Jaggar 🖤
Jaggar is a quiet, affectionate, and deeply loyal girl who thrives in a calm, predictable environment. She is clean, well-mannered, and loving with the people she trusts. Jaggar bonds strongly with her person and does best when she doesn’t have to compete for attention, toys, or treats.
Because of her past experiences, Jaggar has some specific needs that are important to understand so she can be successful in her next home.
About Jaggar:
Female
~6 years old
~80 lbs
Spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated
Kennel trained
House trained
Ideal Home:
Single-dog home strongly preferred
May do okay with younger, very docile male dogs
Not compatible with female dogs or dominant/alpha male dogs, especially where toys or treats are involved
No children under 14 (older teens who understand dog boundaries may be okay)
Calm, patient, dog-savvy adopter
Personality & Behavior Notes:
Jaggar is sensitive and can become fearful in stressful situations. When scared, she may hide and become nippy if pushed, so she needs someone who understands canine body language and is willing to give her space and reassurance. With gentle handling, consistency, and trust, she does well. She responds best to positive reinforcement and familiar routines (and yes—car rides are one of her favorite motivators).
The Good Stuff (and there’s a lot of it):
Excellent with cats
Great with livestock: sheep, goats, chickens, and ducks
Quiet and clean in the home
Loyal, affectionate, and loving with her people
environment to feel safe and secure. As an only dog or in a carefully matched home, she has the potential to be an incredibly devoted companion.
If you or someone you know can provide a calm, adult-only home where Jaggar can be the center of attention, please reach out. Finding the right placement for her is truly a matter of giving her the life she deserves. Please call KARES at 808-333-6299.

BANJO - Courtesy Post
Banjo’s story began when she wandered onto the FPG Sanctuary in Hilo, searching for safety and kindness. Now this sweet girl is ready to write her next chapter — one filled with love, security, and a family of her very own.
At just 8 months old, Banjo has already been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. She weighs about 40-45 pounds and appears to be a whippet-hound mix. What makes her truly special, though, is her heart — she’s affectionate, gentle, and eager to please. Though she has shown some separation anxiety, Banjo is blossoming into a more confident pup every day with patience and love.
Banjo deserves to know what it feels like to belong. Could you be the one to give her that chance?

KALIMA - IN FOSTER
Meet Kalima (Kali)!
Kalima, lovingly called Kali, is a 1.5-year-old, 35-pound tripod pup with a heart as big as his personality. Despite losing a leg after an accident as a young puppy, Kali hasn’t missed a beat—he’s happy, resilient, and full of life.
Kali is once again looking for a home, through no fault of his own. His previous placement simply wasn’t the right match for his energy level and needs. He is an active, playful boy who thrives with structure, engagement, and room to be himself.
Kali is crate trained, sleeps through the night, and does well when left in his crate for longer periods. He enjoys spending time outdoors, whether he’s soaking up the sun, exploring the yard, or simply staying close to his people.
He absolutely loves other dogs and thrives during playtime. Kali is social, playful, and can be a bit vocal when he’s having fun—his happy “talking” is just part of his charm.
We’re not yet sure how Kali does with cats, but with proper introductions, he may adjust well. He’s looking for a loving home that will embrace his energetic spirit and give him the stability and care he deserves.
Kali may only have three legs, but he has endless love to give.
