Meet Captain!

Captain is a 5yr old shepherd mix who was at Blain's Farm & Fleet in Bourbonnais on Saturday for our adoption event, where he met so many people!

Captain has been with us since October 2024 after being transferred from a high risk facility and is searching for a fairly active home with either children, adults or both! He is pretty strong on a leash but knows basic commands, loves snacks and has attended some classes with our friends at Ryan K9. Captain for being a big dog, takes treats every so gently! Captain wants to please, is super smart and learns quickly!

Captain keeps his kennel clean and should transition into a home pretty easily. He could potentially live with a larger dog with the right match but will pass on homes with cats or small dogs.

New year, fresh start and a happy adoption photo is what this handsome boy is looking for! Apply to adopt Captain!

Meet Amaretto

This pretty girl was returned to us in the fall of 2025 for being a little shy and not opening up enough in her new home.

Amaretto, who is now 3 years old, came to us in Feb 2023 as just a little kitten and has been at KCHF until now earlier this year when she was adopted.

She LOVES other cats and needs to go to a home with another one (whether it’s a friend already residing in the home or taking another KCHF feline! )

Amaretto has the most gorgeous coloring that people always comment on, she just needs someone to give her a chance! She’s a little cautious of people at first, but you’ll find her cuddling up to some of her favorite staff members.

Apply to adopt Amaretto

Athena & Aphrodite are available for adoption!

These two are 4 month old littermates, both are medium hair and both are very social and friendly. Athena is the black and white and Aphrodite is the calico.

These two came to us with two other littermates who have been adopted, and now it is Athena and Aphrodite's turn! These two grew up in a foster home and are back at the shelter waiting to meet you! They've been well socialized, love all people and will likely do just fine with other animals as well.

These beautiful girls are up to date on vaccines and have an appointment to be spayed coming up once they are old enough! Athena and Aphrodite are best of friends and although not required to be adopted together, we do require kittens to be adopted in pairs if there isn't already a feline friend in the home!

Apply to bring these adorable kittens home! k3chf.org/adoptionapplication

Meet Finley!

Finley is a 5 and a half year old spayed female cattle dog who was relinquished this fall because her family did not have enough time or resources to care for her any longer. She was relinquished with housemate Buck. Finley and Buck although they get along they are not a bonded pair.

Finley previously lived with dogs and children and did great! However, she prefers the company of male dogs over female dogs. She has not lived with cats and would likely need some training. Finley is well behaved, but likes to play, she knows basic commands and is smart!

Meet Juniper

Juniper may be small, but her heart is HUGE! She is about 15lbs, 7 months old rat terrier mix and originally came to us from Kankakee County Animal Control. This adorable little pup is full of sweetness, charm, and personality. She enjoys toys of all types (especially tug) and is happiest when she’s playing, grooving and adventuring. She went on her very first adoption event Blain's Farm & Fleet and enjoyed meeting every person who stopped by!

Juniper would like to join a fairly active home, as she’s always ready for an adventure! This will likely be the first home, so she’ll need someone to show her what it’s like live the good home life.

Apply to adopt Juniper!

Meet Cole!

Cole is a 7 month old neutered male black lab mix that we transferred from Kankakee County Animal Control In December. He went on his very first official adoption event outing today at Blain's Farm & Fleet where he showed off what an amazing dog he really is!

Cole is playful, large puppy! Cole, like any puppy could benefit from some more basic training. He is learning sit and manners and catching on quickly. Cole is dog friendly, kid friendly and with proper introductions will be cat friendly too, right now he thinks they are scary and stays away.

We aren’t really sure why Cole ended up at animal control but we do know he will make a great family dog once given the opportunity to shine in a home setting.

Meet Noelle 🤍

Just like her name, Noelle is pure joy wrapped in white fur at just about 2 years old. This beautiful girl has a gentle heart, a loving personality, and the cutest floppy years. She enjoys affection, kids of all ages, and spending time with people who show her kindness.

Noelle found her way to us after being dumped shortly after having puppies and was in need of some pretty urgent medical attention. She is now at our shelter with a clean bill of health, spayed and is ready for her forever home!

If you’re looking for a loyal companion and a fresh start filled with happiness this new year, Noelle may be your perfect match.
