She’s done great on car rides too! Athena is up to date on vaccines, prevention, and is spayed and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $225.

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! Please apply to meet her today. k911foundation.com/adopt November 3, 2024, 9:07 pm

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. May 19, 2025, 10:59 pm

Freya is a 1-2 year old cattle dog mix. She loves adults, kids and other dogs! New situations can be scary though so Freya needs a few minutes to explore new places before she’s comfortable. Freya is potty and kennel trained! A secure fence is required for this sweet girl.    To arrange a meet and greet or chat with her foster please fill out an application at www.k911foundation.com/adoptMay 19, 2025, 10:59 pm

Story
Pixie has made it through a lot. She was surrendered, alone, scared and pregnant at an outdoor rural pound in Kansas. She made her way to one of our foster homes to have her babies safely and comfortably. They have now grown up and are going their separate ways! She is happy to have some independence back. She loves to play with the other dogs in her foster home, she loves attention from foster mom, friends and neighbors that come to visit. She adores the kiddos that she has met as well! If Pixie isn't next to you for pets you can probably find her sunbathing in the front yard.  She is potty, house and kennel trained. She walks well on a leash and does ok in a car too!

Story
Hi, my name is Pete. I'm a very happy 8 month old neutered boxer/cane Corso mix. My mom loves me but she is very ill and cannot take care of me anymore. I love to play fetch, and have been trained professionally to sit, and stay but I do love to pull when being walked. Mom will give you a gentle leader, my halter, and a big bag of my favorite puppy food. I need a big yard to run and play in. I'm good with cats, kids, and other dogs. Please take me home with you. I will love you lots and lots. Love Pete, the Wonder dog.
