SASHA
Sasha is a happy, 1.5 year old pit mix. She is on the smaller side, about 35lbs. Don't let her size fool you, she is a bundle of energy who loves to play and run. She does great with other dogs, seems to be okay with cats, and once she warms up to you, is quite a lovebug. Sasha has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and is heartworm negative. She needs a home that will spend lots of time with her, take her on walks, and lots of adventures. Sasha is crate trained and we are continuing to work on getting her housebroken.

Junior is a cute, but very shy pit mix who came to KARES with his brother Dave. He is approximately 8 months old and is looking for a loving home with a family who can show him life isn’t so scary when you have a family that loves you! He is currently in a foster home getting lots of affection, attention and is slowly learning to trust people.
Junior is on the smaller side, about 40 pounds and will most likely gain another 10-15 pounds by the time he is 2 years old. He has soft gray fur with a little white on his chest. His most striking feature is his eyes which are two different shades of hazel.
Junior would do best with a family that is patient and can help him become a confident dog. He does well with other dogs and doesn’t seem to mind cats. He is learning to walk on a leash properly and to come when called. Junior loves affection but is timid and will do best with a family that has the time to devote to him to help build his confidence.

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.

ANNIE
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.

AZUL
Hi my name is Azul and I’m a 2 year old blue nose pit. I’m great with other dogs but I do not like cats! I still have puppy tendencies and will do best in a home where I can get exercise and lots of love and attention. I would either need a fenced in yard or someone who has time to take me on walks. I’m not good on a leash but am working on it and have gotten better. I’m friendly sweet and still learning, but eager to do so. I’m pretty good about staying off furniture but if I had my way I would love to cuddle up on the couch. I’m not too vocal unless I hear another dog barking or see a cat, I really really don’t like them. I enjoy going to the beach and love to meet other dogs. I get aggravated when I’m tied up or restrained, so I do best at a beach where I can run around where there aren’t too many people.
If you would like more information on Azul, please call KARES at 333-6299.

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.
LE'AHI
Meet Le'ahi! This gorgeous girl is looking for her forever home! Le'ahi is a three and a half year old Ridgeback mix who loves to run and play. Very affectionate towards people and does well with male dogs as she likes to be the alpha. Le'ahi is spayed and up to date on all her shots. If you would like more information on Le'ahi, please call KARES at 333-6299.

STEVEN & PEANUT - IN FOSTER
Steven and Peanut are 2 sweet seniors looking for their forever homes. We prefer to keep them together as they are quite bonded and have spent their lives with each other.
Steven and Peanut were surrendered to us after their human mama passed away. Steven is a terrier mix about 16lbs and is approximately 10 years old. He is a friendly boy to adults, but we're not sure how he is with kids. He can be a little snippy to other dogs especially if they get in his "business."
Peanut is the perfect "lovebug." He is a little chubby, but that just makes him a better snuggler. He is around 8 years old, loves people and attention. He has a tendency to follow Steven so they are quite the pair!
Both Steven and Peanut have a clean bill of health, are chipped, heartworm negative, and ready for their new family!

TOMMY - IN FOSTER
Tommy is a 4–6-year-old confident, sweet Chihuahua who is proving himself to be quite the character. A little dog with a BIG personality, Charlie gets along well with other dogs, loves attention, and belly rubs. He has settled in at his foster mom’s home and comes running when he hears the refrigerator open! He has become accustomed to yummy treats, comfy laps, and soft beds, preferably right next to his human!
Unfortunately, Tommy has spent most of his life tied up outside. When he was no longer “cute”, he was sent to live in the backyard. Tommy’s foster mom is working with him to get him potty-trained and we are hopeful he will learn quickly.

DEOGI - ADOPTED!
Deogi is a wonderful lab mix who was diagnosed as heartworm positive last year. Lisa, our fantastic volunteer, took Deogi in as we expected Deogi not to live much more than 6 months or so. Well, this girl surprised us and is thriving.
Deogi is now heartworm negative but the effects of the disease are still evident. She has a big round belly and will be on medication for the rest of her life. For her size, she should weigh about 35-40 pounds, instead she is closer to 60 pounds because of the excess fluid she carries. This is why it is so important to test for heartworm and use a monthly preventative.
Deogi is available for adoption. She is a sweetheart who needs a soft place to lay her head and a family who can give her lots of love and affection. Deogi is between 3-5 years old and needs minimal exercise, a walk in the morning and the evening will do just fine. KARES will continue to cover all of Deogi's medical expenses including her monthly medications.

BILLY BONES
Billy Bones was rescued in September 2020 by a good Samaritan when he showed up on her porch in terrible shape. His foster mom took him to the vet, and before long he was on the mend. He has been neutered, microchipped, tested for FIV and feline leukemia (negative), and is ready for his forever home. His eyesight isn't the best so he would do be better off as an inside cat. Billy also prefers to be the only cat in the home. If you would like more information about Billy, please call Francis at 889-1109.
