Story
Dante was adopted by my oldest son last summer. He has a lot of energy and very smart. He needs someone that is calm and patient. He was a very nervous dog and would pee a little at first. He no longer does that with me, once he has learned he can trust. He may have been abused at some point prior to being adopted. He would yelp if a person raised their voice or have any quick movement near him. He wants to learn, wants to do well for his people. I don't have the time to properly train him. He deserves a good home that can give him the training and attention. He would make a great service dog! He walks well on the leash. He likes to chase cats but when told no, he will stop. He has never hurt the cats or anyone else. He would be great on an obstacle course with his energy! He settles down well once he gets his energy out and is a snuggler!

Story
Athena proves how different dogs can act pending environmental or health changes. Athena loves to use her nose, she LOVES her people / family. She's made it clear shes not a "city" dog. She does far better in less traffic / less chaotic situations. She can also climb a tree or two. Athena has done great with me, my dad and my two sons. She has been fine with all of our barn cats. After an adjustment, she's done fine with dogs through neighboring fence lines as well. She has played well with two other dogs at separate times. Athena loves her treat puzzles and snuffle bowls. She loves having a routine and boundaries. She gets SO excited to see me and does the boot scoot zoomie across the yard.   Athena loves me so much that if I leave the yard with her in it, she climbs out. I would love to find her an understanding home without big dog park, visitor, leash walk expectations. She's completely content in her home and her backyard. Athena is ready for a foster or adopter!

Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
AdoptionGator was surrendered due to change in the family circumstances. He is a well behaved and friendly guy. He loves humans, but does not do well with the unpredictability of little kiddos though, so only kids over 6 please. He has done well with the dogs in his foster home with a slower intro. He is potty and kennel trained although the kennel isn't required after settling in. He grew up on a farm and protected the yard from squirrels and raccoons, so we are also looking for a home with no small animals! If you think Gator could be a good fit, please fill out an application at www.k911foundation.com/adopt. February 21, 2025, 12:50 pm

Story
Zena is a 40 lb husky mix. She's gorgeous and SO sweet once you are in her circle. She has a little stranger danger and probably needs a no cat, and no chicken home. She would be great as an only dog too. She can get skittish with people standing, walking toward her, certain arm placements at first as well. She just wants to stay home, in her yard or neighborhood, with her person. She loves leash walks and car rides but doesn't like going into places. "Peopling" is low on the enjoyment list. As soon as we go on our walks she's so peaceful and happy.    Apply to meet Zena at www.k911foundation.com/adoptDecember 12, 2024, 8:44 pm
