My story

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

After I was left in a crate in the rain, local animal control scooped me up and brought me in! I spent about a week there before I was transferred to KCHF, and from there to a foster home! I`m a little shy at first, just because humans previously weren`t the greatest to me, but once I warm up to you, I`m your best friend! I love cuddles, especially head rubs.

I`m working on training with my foster and am quickly learning about potty training and other basic commands. I also do really well in a crate when I`m inside! I do well with other dogs, cats, and kids, so I`m move in ready to join you and your family!

More about this shelter

The Kankakee County Humane Foundation (KCHF) is a 501(c) (3) non- profit organization animal shelter. Since 1963 the Foundation has rescued unwanted, neglected and abandoned dogs and cats in the Kankakee County area.

KCHF is a community focused organization serving animals in need since 1963. The Foundation is entirely dependent on memberships and private donations and does not receive any tax revenue or public funds.

KCHF adopts out our animals to safe, loving, and caring homes through an application and screening process. The Foundation supports responsible pet ownership by performing background checks, validating personal and veterinary references listed on adoption applications.

The shelter is staffed daily to maintain appropriate service levels for the animals and those wishing to adopt them. We are committed to ending all forms of abuse to domestic animals. We urge voters to support legislation to protect animals. We believe in teaching children the proper way to treat and care for animals. We urge the spaying and neutering of companion animals and believe that animal guardianship is a privilege for those who wish to love and be loved by faithful friends.
