You never can tell some days… The remodel is progressing nicely, but our AC has stopped working. We are getting it looked at ASAP, but instead of coming here and offering yet another date we plan to reopen, we have to say

The Dog Wash will be closed until we announce our reopening.
We are hoping sooner than later! Stay tuned!

Dear Friends - We are excited and hope you will be too! Chad Spaeth of Complete Home Repair is still working on our first major remodel since we opened 20 years ago! The tired old suspended ceiling is gone and the old plaster will be covered with a proper ceiling! New lights! New ceiling fans! It’s going to look like a whole new space!

Dear Friends,

Thank you so much to all of you for the sweet well wishes and comments! We had a great time at Red Rocks, hiking with the pups, and relaxing.
Below is a picture of a painting that an artist was creating during the concert on the second night, under the inspiration of the music and the audience.

We have also begun a remodeling project on the shop during our time off, and as sometimes happens, things were not as they appeared. We are currently expecting to reopen next Wednesday, August 15th and will keep you updated here. Thank you and can’t wait to see you all soon.

ADOPTED 🥳🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🥳

Dalton is our longest-term resident. He’s been with us for 237 days.

He’s watched friend after friend walk out the door—tails wagging, off to start their new lives. And every time, he runs to the front of his kennel, hoping someone is here for him, but so far no one ever is 💔.

You can see it in his face—that flicker of disappointment as the door closes behind another lucky pup. You can see him wondering “Why not me?”
Dalton wakes up every morning with quiet hope. Maybe today will be different. Maybe today, someone will finally see him.

🐾 A few of Dalton’s favorite things:

•Chasing toys (and catching them mid-air like a pro)
• Going on hikes, runs, and any kind of adventure
•Taking long walks and soaking in the world
•Snuggling up when the day is done
•Hanging with other dogs (with the right intro)

Dalton is sweet. He’s silly. He’s got so much love to give. But more than anything, he’s ready for someone to show up and finally say, “Let’s go home.”

Could that someone be you?

Dalton is a 1-year-old Lab mix and weighs 62 lbs. He is neutered, up to date on all vaccines, microchipped, heartworm tested and dewormed. His adoption fee is sponsored for the very best home for him!

If you are interested in meeting Dalton please email us at [email protected] to schedule your appointment.

If you can’t adopt but want to foster please fill out our foster application https://www.kckpd.org/Animal-Services/Foster-a-Pets

Buddy! He joined us for a board and train to improve his recall and manners. Day 1 was going great until the rain chased us inside. He is a cool dog who will be fun to develop.

Hi Friends!
This beautiful, sweet baby is looking for her forever home. She is currently housed at the shelter in St Joseph, her name is Peach. She did very well with her bath and the dryer today and exhibits very nice manners, even sitting pretty for her after bath pic.
