CHEEZ-IT

Meet Cheez-It! Cheez-It was a stray wandering on the Baptist church property near Kapa'au. He was very leery of people and not particularly trusting. His name comes from the kids at the church who would leave Cheez-It crackers in a bowl for him to eat! He would get close, but not close enough to pet him. After a few days, we were able to trap him and with 48 hours, Cheez-It had made himself at home with his foster.

This youngster is between 1-2 years old. He is a ridgeback mix (maybe lab) and has turned into a very happy dog. He loves to run and play and loves women. He's still learning to trust men, it may take a little while for him to warm up to people. He is a sweetheart and believe it or not, housebroken already. Cheez-It deserves a loving home where he can blossom into a well-adjusted family member.

If you would like more information about Cheez-It, please call us at 333-6299.

LILI

Lovely Lili was rescued by Lauren and Ian. They have cared for Lili for the last several months, nursing her back to health after a severe dog fight. In their care, she has become quite the confident pup. It is time to find her forever home! She is a pit mix, about 40 pounds. She loves to run and play and with help of Ian and Lauren's dog Ollie, she now loves to play in the ocean.

If you would like more information about Lili, please give KARES at call at 333-6299.

KANILO

LUCKY

Looking for luck? Lucky might just be your match! This sweet 1-year old pup followed a good Samaritan home in June. Lucky was not in great shape, he was starving, scared, had several wounds, and scrapes as well as being full of fleas.

Lucky chose a family who nursed him back to health and made sure he received veterinary care, was neutered and microchipped. He is right at the 44-pound mark and, as sad as the foster family is to give Lucky up, it is time for him to find his forever home.

We think Lucky is a mix of Pitbull, whippet, and hound. This boy is SMART! Training should be easy peasy with this guy, he is food motivated and comes when called. Interested in agility? Lucky just might be the dog for you as he is athletic and loves to run and play. Did we mention he is housebroken too and is great with kids?!!

If you would like to meet Lucky, give us a call at 333-6299. We would love nothing more than to find this fantastic dog his very own family.

KAMANA

Aloha! My name is Kamana and I'm looking for a new home. I am a sweet and friendly hound mix who's a little on the voluptuous side! I love people, kids and other dogs, but I CANNOT be trusted around cats! I was just at the vet and other than needing to lose a few pounds, I'm in great health! I'm fixed and microchipped too!

I'm 4 years old so the puppy chewing is out of my system, plus I'm housebroken I love to run and play and I'm looking for someone who will take me on long walks and car rides!

If you would like more information about Kamana, please call KARES at 333-6299 or email us at kareshawaii@gmail.com

TYSON - IN FOSTER

TYSON - IN FOSTER

Tyson the Tripod is ready for his forever home! This 10 year old pit mix is quicker than you would think given he only has 3 legs.

Tyson was pulled from the shelter in August and had to have his front right leg amputated. KARES provided all medical and we had a wonderful couple volunteer to foster and help Tyson through his recovery. He is now ready to go into a permanent home.

Tyson would do best as the only pet in a home. Even though he is older, he can play a little rough. He manages just fine on 3 legs, a home with no stairs or only a few stairs would be best. He can be a bit of an escape artist so a fenced yard is ideal.

If you would like more information on Tyson, please call us at 333-6299.

MONKEY & PATA

Meet Monkey & Pata. These lovely ladies lost their human to death and have been at the Kona shelter for over a month. They are quite spry for their 9 years of age. Truly in love with each and completely housebroken, they are waiting for their forever home or a temporary foster. Please consider opening your home and heart to these wonderful gals.
To find out more, call KARES at 333-6299.

BRODY

Brody is looking for his forever home. His former family has too many dogs and they called KARES to rehome him. Brody is a SharPei mix and is somewhere between 7-9 years old. He is an active boy, housebroken, crate trained, and gets along with other dogs. He is a bit bewildered in his new environment but is taking it in stride. He loves his foster mom Lisa and wags his tail every time he sees her. If you are looking for a well-adjusted older dog, please give KARES a call at 333-6299.

SOPHIA

Sophia is a sweet 10 year old pitbull who was rescued by KARES a few weeks ago. Once a well-loved family member, she was eventually left alone and tied in a backyard. Sophia doesn't hold a grudge. She is happy and eager to please. Sophia is housebroken and wants to be by your side at all times. She does well with other dogs, but hasn't been cat tested.

If you would like to meet Sophia call KARES at 333-6299.
