Adorable Adoptables

FLUFFY (Adopt)

For those of you who want the perfect dog, Fluffy is your girl! She is perfectly house-trained, she doesn't jump, cry, or scratch at the door. She won't chew up your slippers, she's not a barker or a digger, and she has impeccable manners. She likes to sleep with you (but is also content in her crate), and she will ride quietly in the car for hours. She doesn't eat much (she's already stuffed!), she loves to cuddle, and she gets along great with everyone!

Obviously Fluffy is not real, but for those of you who want a REAL dog, one that will be your loyal companion and lifelong protector, one that will love you unconditionally until its last breath, we have some wonderful dogs who would love to meet you!

The simple truth is -- no dog is instantly perfect. If you want a dog that will never bark, jump, dig, chew, has perfect manners, and is 100% house-trained on day one, then please adopt Fluffy (or one like her).

A rescued dog can bring a lifetime of love and devotion, but in the beginning some may require a little extra effort on your part. Some of these dogs have been abandoned, abused, starved, hit by cars, or simply neglected by the humans they once trusted. Their worlds have been turned upside down beyond their ability to understand, and most will require some time to adjust. Some may need a refresher course in house-training. And, after being abandoned, some may have separation issues and will need help to feel secure.

It may take two weeks or it may take six months, but these issues can all be overcome with a little love and patience (and we're always here to help in any way we can). You will then have your perfect dog, and a true Best Friend Forever.

If you wish to sponsor Fluffy, your donation will help the real dogs in our care, and is tax deductible. (Donate) Thank you for your support!

Coco

Coco is an 8-yr-old tan and white purebred Shih Tzu who weighs about 12 lbs. He's such a good boy – dare I say perfect? – and gets along well with everyone, both human and canine.

Coco is eligible for our senior discount. If you are over 50, you can adopt Coco at a reduced adoption fee.

Coco is generally quiet, well-behaved, and is always in good spirits in any social setting. He’s been the unofficial mascot for a senior assisted-living facility for the past few years. He will always approach new people and sniff for a snack, but he's very good at not jumping or scaring people who don't care for dogs. He also gets along great with the grandchildren who come to visit.

In his spare time, he likes to play with his toys, chase & fetch tennis balls, and get belly rubs (not necessarily in that order). And if he sees a dog on TV, he'll talk to it. So cute! When it's nap time he likes to cuddle on a chair or couch with you. He is also used to sleeping with his human on the bed.

Coco loves to go for walks, and he rides well in the car. He is very adaptable, and understands sit, stay, off, and a few more tricks. He is used to being taken out for walks 2-3 times/day for toileting.

He's been eating Cesar soft food 2x/day and we leave kibble out for snacking, but – like most dogs! – very much prefers people food. Bacon and sausage are his favorites! He also loves bananas.

This little sweetheart is a delight. He will make a wonderful companion!

Sadie

Hi, I’m Sadie! I’m a Dachshund mix weighing about 20 lbs and will be 5 years old in the spring. I am very affectionate and love to snuggle. I am easy to take care of, I love to sleep in, and I don’t bark. I only need a few walks a day to take care of business and smell the outdoors.

All my shots are current, I’m spayed and I’m house-trained. I’m loyal and also protective of my owner, which sometimes makes me growl at other dogs that I don’t know, so it’s best to keep me at a distance from them. I can also be a little shy around strangers, and I like the chance to warm up to them first.

My current owner is getting up in years and can’t take me for walks anymore, so I’m starting to put on some weight. I would benefit from a younger owner who can take me for longer walks. I'm used to being the only dog in the house and, although I get along okay with most other dogs, I really want to be your one-and-only. I think a fenced yard would also be good for me.

Are you ready for a sweet, loving dog who is happy to curl up by your side all day long? Here I am!

Sadie is good with adults and older/considerate/gentle kids; good in the car; likes to be in your lap; affectionate; obedient and eager to please; intelligent; even-tempered and gentle.

Interested In Fostering?

Would you be interested in fostering? Fostering is temporary -- most of our dogs get adopted within a few weeks -- and it is also lifesaving. We cannot bring a dog into rescue unless we have a foster home available. 
 
In a nutshell... the dog would live with you and be treated as a family member, just like you would treat your own dog. You will provide food and whatever he needs on a day-to-day basis (bedding, playtime, walks, etc.). We will pay for vet care (exam, spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, de-wormer, flea treatment, etc.) and he would likely have all of that when you get him. If, by chance, the dog gets sick or injured, you take him to our vet for treatment and we will pay the vet. We will provide a collar, leash, and K9BFF ID tag. If you encounter any problems with your foster dog (for example, if he doesn't get along with your resident dog or cat), we will place the dog into another foster home.
 
You will have input as to who adopts him because you will know him better than anyone. The best part of fostering is that if you happen to fall in love with the dog you are fostering, you have first choice to adopt!

If you think you might like to give fostering a try, please complete the Volunteer form and we will be in touch! Thank you!
