ACE
Aloha!
I’m a 4 year old cattle dog mix. I am a sweet, speckled lovebug who is good with kids, I get along with most other dogs, and I don’t know how I feel about cats. I am eager to learn, and love receiving treats for my good behavior. I am looking forward to meeting someone I get to be loyal to, and join for adventures.
Please call KARES at 808-333-6299 to meet me!

Meet handsome Copper! Copper is a 3-4 year old pit mix who was found by a good Samaritan. He was super thin and had been out on his own for awhile.

He is a good boy who deserves a loving home with a family who will take him on adventures. Copper needs some leash work, but he learns quickly and is eager to please.

I am a dog built for fun! I have been agility-trained and I am very kid-friendly. Not only that, I like most other dogs! My loyalty just shines when I am with someone who loves me!
DOZER
Dozer is a big hunk of love! He's had a bit of a rough life from what we can tell, but doesn't seem to hold it against humans. This powerhouse is intelligent and wants to please. Would do best as an only dog. Please call us at 333-6299 to find out more information.
COCO
CoCo is a very sweet female Char-Pei Lab mix. Approximately 2 years old. She is a very smart and a fun-loving dog. CoCo likes to play ball and especially likes to take a ride in the car.

JUNIPER
I am about 3 years old, and although I am pretty mellow, I LOVE to play when given the chance. I do well in the car, at work, with other dogs, and with kids. I was made to be someone's "everywhere" buddy.
COWBOY
Just as my name describes, I am a tall, lanky dude with a gentle spirit. I am simply a young lad who loves treats and walks!
TINY - IN FOSTER
Tiny is a 10-year old Jack Russell mix who is a smidge bigger than he should be! Tiny was adopted from KARES when he was a puppy but recently left at the Humane Society. When KARES picked him up, we immediately took him to the vet for medical care. Tiny had 2 large abscesses and required extensive dental work including the removal of 14 teeth. After a couple of days at his foster’s home, where he was given antibiotics and received good nutrition, Tiny has perked up and has been the “man of the house” since then.
Tiny is active, loves to play with his much larger foster sister, and is quite the cuddlebug. He is content to lay next to you while watching TV or reading a book. Tiny needs some work with housetraining but has learned to use the doggie door. If you would like to meet Tiny, please call KARES at 333-6299.

QIARA
Meet Qiara! This sweet and energetic girl is just under a year and would do best with an active family. Qiara's foster mom has taken wonderful care of her and has spent lots of time training her so she has perfect manners. Beyond basic commands, Qiara also knows "shake", "roll over", "up up" (for getting into the car), and "ok" which is her release word. Fancier tricks include catching a treat or her favorite toy on the count of "3".
Qiara is a hound/whippet mix and weighs approximately 45lbs. She is good with older children and warms up to women easily. She can be timid around men but patience is key with any new dog.
Qiara is housebroken, has been spayed, microchipped and vaccinated.

ANNIE - ADOPTED!
Annie is a Wheaton Terrier mix who is getting lots of love, affection, and training to make her the perfect companion!
Annie is a sweet dog who is between 3-5 years old. This girl loves belly rubs, long walks, and playing ball even if it is by herself. Her foster family has grown very fond of Annie and they have provided her a stable home in which she has been able to settle into a constant routine.
Although Annie loves humans of all sizes, she is animal reactive and KARES volunteers are working with her daily to help overcome these challenges. Over the last 2 weeks, Annie is mastering leash walking, without lunging at other dogs, knows the term “leave it”, and is gradually getting accustomed to her reflection without feeling the need to attack. She is a work in progress, and we have the utmost confidence that she will become less and less reactive with time and training.
Her foster family loves her dearly but are unable to adopt. Annie will need to be moved in the next 2 weeks to a new family either for foster or adoption. If you would like more information about Annie, please call KARES at 333-6299.
