Story
Hi…I’m Kyn Kyn, (really McKynlee, but the people here all call me Kyn Kyn) and I just have to get something off of my chest. I’m a 4 year old, 40 lb, female lab mix. I feel a little guilty for complaining because I live with a wonderful foster family in a wonderful home with wonderful dogs. But, I can’t help myself…because as much as I love it here, I know that I can’t be here forever and all I want is to be in a home that I know I can settle into forever.
I absolutely ADORE my people and even like to show them this regularly. My foster mom works at the table a lot and I know she just melts with love for me when I come over and rest my head on her leg and look into her eyes…(I’ve overheard her talking about me). This is not a relationship that can last though…she needs the space to be able to foster more dogs so they don’t get killed and I need to be able to feel settled.
I’m a love bug to my favorite people, gentle and sweet they say. I’m a real snuggle bunny and like to mold myself into my people to cuddle or lay against a leg or on a foot; it really gives me such a sense of contentment. I’m gonna be honest though…I’m not one of these girls who will instantly love everyone I meet, but I will sniff and check out visitors; it just takes me some time before I am ready for strangers to pet me. You’ll need to be a little patient with me because this change to an adoptive family is not going to be easy for me. In fact, it’s kind of scary even as it is also exciting. I do know that once I’ve spent a little time with an adopter, I will give them all of the same love and melt their hearts as I do everyone who meets me, (especially because I love treats). I hear my foster parents say that it's hard to find a dog who loves as hard as I do.😊
I’m fearful of new people and situations but once settled will romp with other dogs in the yard because it’s real fun. I think one of the problems is that people want me to seamlessly move to a new family and life and it’s just not me, so I don’t “show well.” I need someone who understands who I am and has the patience to let me grow into them as I have my foster family. Since I love attention and treats, it’s not too hard to get me to feel loved…and then I wake up full of joy in the morning and make happy noises for everyone and do prancing zoomies in the yard.
I’m gonna give it to you straight…I might just want to be a homebody; and not go out and about too much because I feel scared when I do that. Maybe this will change for me but I’m not sure. Since new things make me nervous, maybe I shouldn’t be with young children and would do better with 12 year olds and up…they’re not as unpredictable as those little human children can be. (I hope this doesn’t insult any of you humans). I’ve heard them call me an “angel” which makes me feel happy inside. I try to do the right thing so I’m crate, house, and leash trained and know basic commands. They’ve told me what a fast learner I am too.
Well, I gotta run now….I hear my foster mom coming and she prefers when I don’t use her computer. Please remember to put in an adoption application for me asap…😘
McKynlee is available for adoption but is also in need of a foster home.

Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (https://anewchancear.org). We are a 501c3, tax deductible organization. ANCAR is a foster-based rescue, and we adopt within a 90 mile radius of Bedford Hills, NY. You will find the adoption application here: (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application/). All fields on the application must be completed. Please read about the adoption process (https://www.anewchancear.org/adopt/our-adoption-process/) so you'll know what to expect when you submit.
Our dogs are in foster care and we do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. This is a firm policy. Our busy volunteers are not able to respond to questions about the dog or dog meeting requests in the absence of an application. We know these dogs very well because they are in foster care. Please read the profiles of the dog(s) you are interested in prior to submitting an application. If there are specific requirements stated (ie: Fenced Yard or Canine Friend Required) these are included because they are vital to the happiness, health, safety and adoption success of that dog.
We are only able to save as many dogs as we have foster homes (https://www.anewchancear.org/foster/faqs/) and resources for. We provide medical care including vaccinations, testing, deworming, spaying/neutering and microchipping before transporting our dogs. We provide all supplies, preventatives and any follow up vet care necessary while they are in foster care. These costs are high and the number of lives we can save is entirely dependent upon donations from people like you. We do not receive funding from private foundations or government sources. If you can find room in your heart to help us, with any amount, we are truly grateful (https://www.anewchancear.org/help/donate/). We are a 501c3 organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. It is only through the kindness of supporters like you that we are 'changing lives...one tail at a time' by providing our dogs with 'A New Chance.' (https://anewchancear.org)
Thanks so much.
