My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

George is all dressed for the Christmas season and what he really wants is a home of his own. He has had a very hard life from his days as a puppy tied to a wreck of a doghouse to ending up in our local, crowded animal control facility. Foster Shannon knew George as a hungry puppy and left food for him as often as she could. She even provided an igloo dog house to give him better shelter.

Finally, he was removed from his home and was getting a chance at adoption. Unfortunately, George was diagnosed with heartworm and combined with his breed(pit mix), was literally hours from euthanasia due to lack of funding and too many animals. No adopters wanted to take on the $1000+ bill for treatment. Luckily, Shannon realized he was the same puppy she helped years ago and volunteered to be his foster home so he could go through his treatment.

We pulled him based on his sweet personality and he has just completed his heartworm treatment and been neutered. George is now about 4 years old, loves to play, walks well on a leash and is dog and cat friendly. He greets each person with a wagging tail and his wide smile and would do well in most households. Please put in your application at kindnessmattersrescue.org and we will contact you immediately. Please remember that all animals in your home must be up to date on rabies and distemper and be neutered.

Additional adoption info

In addition to adoptions to the public, we also work with local, approved, reputable rescues to place dogs and cats rescued from high-kill shelters.

More about this rescue

KMR Inc. was founded in 2010 by Susanne Hoshino in order to rescue homeless animals from high-kill environments. We assess, vet, adopt out, and/or transport to our Rescue Partners and provide outreach/education for pet retention and animal welfare.
Our core mission at Kindness Matters Rescue is to place adoptable homeless animals into loving forever homes and to promote responsible companion animal welfare through support, outreach, and education.
Kindness Matters was born in 2010 after a visit to a local animal control facility made Susi aware of the magnitude of the homeless animal problem. KMR is committed to lowering the staggering euthanasia rate and rescue as many wonderful adoptable pets as possible. We work constantly to build a magic net of rescue relationships throughout the Eastern Shore and the United States in order to rescue the most animals possible from these facilities.
Kindness Matters Rescue became a 501 c3 Charity in the beginning of 2019. We are very proud of the fact that we have rescued over 1,700 animals in our nine-year history.
