To the world you are just another person...
to a rescued animal, you are the world.

Finding Home and Hope
Bella
Oops — sometimes in our excitement to share updates, we get ahead of ourselves! We’re thrilled to officially report that after 313 days in foster care, George has found his forever home!
George came to KARES just before Christmas last year — malnourished, lonely, and unsure of his place in the world. With patience, love, and structure from his amazing foster family, George transformed into a happy, confident boy. Today, he’s living his best life with his new mom, Susan, and his dog brother, Jack. At KARES, we always say “it’s not if, it’s when,” and for George, “when” finally arrived — just shy of a year later, in the arms of his unicorn family. ❤️
Laney is another beautiful success story. She’s thriving in her new home and has completely adjusted to family life. In fact, she’s chosen the family’s younger son as her favorite human — the two are now inseparable! Seeing Laney so content and loved reminds us why we do what we do every single day.
But for every George and Laney, there are still many wonderful animals waiting for their chance at a happy ending. Zeus and Bella are among those still searching for their forever families, along with many other dogs and cats currently in KARES care. Each of them has a story, a personality, and a heart ready to love — they just need someone to give them that chance.
If you’ve been thinking about adopting, fostering, or simply want to learn more, we invite you to visit our Adoptable Pets page to meet the animals currently available. We’re happy to arrange private meet-and-greets and answer any questions you might have.
