Meet Brownie 🐾💙

This four-month-old sweetheart has stolen our hearts from the moment he walked through the door. He’s the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and snuggly baby cuddles.

✨ Great with kids, cats, and other dogs — he truly loves everyone he meets!
✨ Working hard on his manners — he’s about 80% potty trained and learning to love his crate.
✨ Sweet, gentle, and absolutely deserving of a family to grow up with.

Brownie is looking for a foster-to-adopt home where he can keep learning, keep loving, and keep being the little angel he is. 🐶💫

Could he be the newest member of your family?

Email [email protected] to meet him!

We have a soft spot in our hearts for black cats! 🐈‍⬛

These sleek, beautiful felines are often overlooked in shelters due to something known as “black cat syndrome.” This means they tend to spend more time waiting for their future homes than cats of any other color. There are many theories about why—superstitions, myths, or even the way dark coats can make them harder to photograph—but here’s what we do know for sure:
✨ Black cats are just as loving, playful, and loyal as any other cat.
✨ They make amazing companions.
✨ They deserve the same chance at love and happiness as every other shelter pet.

So today (and every day), let’s celebrate the beauty, charm, and magic of black cats! If you’ve ever been lucky enough to share your life with one, you know just how special they truly are. If you have a black cat, share a picture of them in the comments!📷

This International Homeless Animals Day, we're highlighting five of our long-time residents to share what makes them special. ⭐🐶🐱⭐

Nara (Female, 5 years old)
This long-timer is a staff and volunteer favorite here at KCAS. Nara loves every single person she meets , she even smiles when she greets you!

Johnny Storm (Male, 3 years old)
Johnny is a total water lover! During playgroup, you’ll usually find him lounging happily in the baby pool. If you need a fun, affectionate, and adventurous companion, Johnny Storm is the one for you!

Luna (Female, 2 years old)
This adorable young lady is ready for a home to call her own. Luna is currently on a weight-loss journey and would love an active home to help her stay fit and healthy while having fun.

Catalina (Female, 1 year old)
This sweet, gentle cat is FeLV positive. While there's no cure, many FeLV-positive cats can live happy, loving lives for several years with proper care and regular vet checkups. It's important she lives in a home without FeLV-negative cats, but would thrive either as a solo kitty or with another FeLV-positive friend.

Buddy (Male, 4 years old)
Buddy loves treats, head scritches, and brushing sessions to get his fur picture perfect! Buddy is living with both Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), which means he’ll need an indoor-only home and should be your only cat to keep everyone healthy and safe.

Think one of these adoptable pets is the right match for you? Meet them today!💙

Read about Huckleberry and his daytrip 💗

Huckleberry might just be the sweetest old soul you’ll ever meet. From the moment he stepped out of the shelter, he did his business right away (yes, this gentleman seems potty trained!) and was ready for adventure.

He’s a little bouncy leaving his kennel and needed a boost into the backseat, but he took it all in stride. Once in the car, he snuggled in and soon settled for a peaceful ride.

On a nature trail, Huckleberry showed his easygoing personality—walking at his own relaxed pace, stopping for good sniffs, and happily laying down for breaks. He’s easily redirected when curious about geese or scents, and when meeting new people, he lights up for pets and attention.

This gentle guy even got a McDonald’s treat—he accepted every bite politely and patiently, like the well-mannered companion he is.

At the end of the day, Huckleberry was perfectly content “splooting” in the grass, watching the world go by. He’s the definition of a calm, kindhearted friend who would love nothing more than to spend his golden years by your side.

🐾 Potty trained
🐾 Great with new people
🐾 Gentle & easy to handle
🐾 The perfect day-trip buddy

If you’re looking for a loyal, laid-back best friend, Huckleberry is your guy. Come meet him—you’ll see why we’re all smitten.

🐾 Meet Gunner – The Gentle Couch Potato 🐾

Gunner is a 6-year-old, 64lb hound mix who has perfected the art of snuggling. He’s currently living the foster life, where he’s proven himself to be:

✅ Perfectly potty trained
✅ Crate trained
✅ A pro on leash
✅ Never chews things he shouldn’t
✅ Great with calm, easy-going female dogs
✅ Wonderful with kids

His favorite activities? Wagging his tail like it’s a full-time job, giving sweet kisses, and curling up next to you for a nap. Gunner’s not a fan of cats, but he’s more than happy to share his home with the right dog friend.

If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, loving companion who will happily be your shadow, Gunner’s your guy.

📧 Email [email protected] to schedule a meet & greet and see why this sweet boy has stolen so many hearts.

🐾 Melvin – Our Gentle Giant 🐾

Melvin is an 8-year-old, 100lb Mastiff mix who’s as sweet and mellow as they come. He’s been enjoying life in his foster home — soaking up attention, hanging with the other dogs, and giving his little “hey, notice me” bark when he wants some love.

His foster family can’t keep him long-term, so Melvin is looking for another foster… or even better, a forever home.

✅ Great with other dogs
✅ No cat issues
✅ Walks well on leash
✅ Calm, loving, and easygoing

Melvin needs Epsom salt foot soaks to help keep his paws healthy while he finishes clearing up a minor fungal infection — and he’s a total pro at them.

If you’ve got room in your home (and your heart) for a gentle giant, Melvin’s ready to meet you. Foster or adopt, he’ll be the easiest 100lbs of love you’ve ever had.
