If you have any questions
Rory came to us severely emaciated and in horrible condition. We would like to send her to foster to continue to gain weight and recover. We would like to send her to an animal free home at this time due to her stress and rough condition. If you have small animals that can be completely separate we could consider that - but no dogs at this time.
Dogs: No
Cats: Keep Separate
Kids: would prefer not at this time but open to older children

Sushi came in with babies and has been VERY stressed in the shelter environment. She has a hard time meeting new people and needs a very special foster who will take the time to earn her trust and help her get adoption ready.
Needs an experienced foster. No young children.

Mac Bob would really benefit from a foster home that can be patient with him and help him get ready for adoption. He is a rowdier boy who has mouthy puppy-like behavior. He is SO sweet but has been here off and on since Feb and needs some time to decompress and learn to be a good citizen.
Kids: 10 +
Dogs: M&G Required
Cats: Very interested but has not really interacted with them.

Zee came from another shelter and has been with KHS for over a month now. He is starting to struggle with stress/frustration and could really benefit from a shelter break while up for adoption.
Kids: Unknown but may suggest sturdy children as he sometimes runs into people while playing and may knock down a small child.
Dogs: Yes! Enjoys playing
Cats: Unknown

Cheeseburger is an active, playful teen pup that would love to spend more time outside of the shelter while he awaits his forever home. He would do well with an active, patient family that can work with him to get adoption ready! Loves to play with other dogs.
Dogs: M&G required - playful
Cats: Unknown - ok to try
Kids: 12+
Other: Have spent alot of his life in the shelter and needs help with manners

Dog pictured is just an example and not available for foster.
Below are a few pictures of dogs on their shelter breaks. All of these animals were very stressed, or otherwise not doing well, in the shelter environment. After just a quick break, you can see how much more relaxed and happy they are.
