Pond is still looking for a home - one willing to go on slow walks so he can keep up 🥹

He's great with every dog he's met so far, and loves any human who will love him back!

🎅🏼 Paw-lidays are coming! What are you getting your pet as a present?!

We usually kick off our stocking drive after Thanksgiving, but I want to build a better wish list this year for the shelter animals - and I need your suggestions!

I always include:
- milkbones
- pupperoni
- kongs
- puppy teething toys, some squeaky too

Cats I do:
- catnip 🤭
- treats
- toys & pipe cleaners

But I want to go above and beyond this year for our shelter babies! Bonus if you send Amazon or chewy links so I can get the right thing ❤️💚

💫 ALSO while I have you thinking about the holidays - if you are decorating and have old decor you are thinking of tossing, please consider donating it to KCHA!

I (Sarah 👋🏼) love decorating the shelter as much as I can. I'll use anything you don't want anymore! Particularly garland and lights 🎄

Update: adopted!!

Orange Sherbet is lonely 🥺 he hates being here all cooped up. He's slowly gotten grouchier the longer he's been here.

It's like he's given up on finding someone to love him 💔

Our chunky boy is 2 years old - he was found coming out of the woods with terrible wounds along his neck and back - as the medical team was cleaning his wounds, they found maggots 🤢

So while his body has made a full recovery, his soul is sad. He wants a calm place to chill. He wants someone to love him as much as he wants - and when he's done with love, someone who will stop and not be offended 😅

He also let me know his ideal home will give him lots of treats 😂 so make sure you're ready for a food-motivated, cute orange boy 🫶🏼❤️

Meet Gonzo, the black-and-tan heartthrob with the best eyebrow game in town. 🐾😍

He’s always on the Gon-go, loooves playing with anyone who will play with him (male, female, old, young - he doesn't judge!)

Those tan eyebrow markings? Oh, they’re not just markings—they’re his built-in “Are you sure you’re not giving me that treat?” expression. 👀✨

This cutie is just over a year old, 36lbs (with some long legs though!) - he's ready to meet you!

He's part of our adoption special, $11 for adult dogs, 50% off for puppies, cats, & kittens! Come meet our pack! Open 12-5 💕

🚛💨 Meet our new (to us) transport van! 🥰 Keep an eye on the roads as we have "Paws in Motion!" ❤️

Today, 14 canine friends are off to Virginia to a no-kill rescue there & hopefully find new homes soon! 😍

This transport van is vital as we are working hard to network shelter pets to new areas, creating more space for pets in need right here.

It's a lot of work, but we are trying so hard to create space while still saving lives! ❤️

This van will help support:
- rescue transports, like the one today!
- transporting pets to NJ Petco for adoptions
- transporting dogs to our correctional facility program
- smaller events that can't fit the bigger truck
- smaller donation distributions to local food banks
- things I'm sure we haven't thought of yet!

Thank you Fastsigns S Charleston for making our vision come to life for a cheerful van that is eye-catching, happy, and inspires hope for the pets on board!

Mercury is in retrograde so you know things shall never be boring around here! A dog at large, a few bunnies, and pigs OH MY! 😂

Meet Amy Swinehouse, our resident pop icon with truly unbelievable chops! 🐷✨

She came to us via a humane officer after being abandoned- but don’t worry, this piggy’s made a total comeback tour. Her tears have dried & she’s ready to find a new home! 🥹

Amy’s got a heart of gold, a snout for snacks, and she promises not to HOG the spotlight… too much. 😉

Adopt this superstar today - before she goes platinum in someone else’s pasture! ✨

We’re open til 6 & adoptions are first come, first serve!

UPDATE: ADOPTED, TOGETHER ❤️

Look what’s hopped into KCHA! 🐰

These two girls came to us via a humane officer after their owner passed away 💔

Hopscotch on the left & Judy Hopps on the right got all gussied up with a Bunny Fashion Show in hopes of finding an adopter ASAP! The shelter is no place for them to heal after their owner’s passing 🥺

Adoptions for these ladies are first come, first serve! We’ve included them in our Veteran’s Day Adoption Special as well! For $0 you can take one (or both!) home with you! 😍

Hop on in! We’re open until 6! 🐰🥕

Update: adopted! 🥰

📰 WANTED: quiet home for a senior kitty ❤️‍🩹

This is Lady Shrimp 🦐 She's 8 years old and wound up in our shelter when her owner went into a nursing home 😔

So not only did she lose her human, she lost the only home she's ever known 🥺

Rightfully so, she hasn't been happy here. We've tried most of the tricks up our sleeves to get her to warm up to us - no luck.

She truly just wants out of here into a calm, peaceful home to spend her golden years 🥺

She's very quiet herself, she's very clean. She just wants to be accepted for who she is - a slightly grumpy, senior lady 🥺

We're open 12-6, please someone give this girl a loving home ❤️❤️
