Adoptable Dogs

Occationally I get calls to take in unwanted, stray or homeless dogs. Most of my rescue dogs come from the Central City Vet
Clinic. The Clinic serves as the city's shelter as well as the Vet Clinic. They keep the homeless dogs for 2 weeks and at the end
of that time, if they haven't found a home, they are unfortunately euthanized. When I have room, I will take in a dog that has
come to the end of it's two weeks. If I do decide to take a dog in, it is with the intention of rehoming it. Each rescued dog will go
to its new home UTD on it's shots and de-wormed. It will come with all the appropriate paperwork including an adoption
contract, a health record showing when and what vaccines were given and when it was de-wormed. The new owner also has
the option to have me microchip the dog for $20 before it goes to its new home. Some may be spayed or neutered before going
to their new home and their adoption fee will reflect that.

Sometimes there will be an adoption fee for a particular dog. The fee is to cover any costs I have incurred while getting the dog
ready for its new home. I should say that I do NOT make money from my rescues. And my goal is not to make money. In fact,
most the time I end up spending plenty of my own money to find the dog a new home. I just feel very strongly that there are so
many awesome dogs that are put to sleep every day and I want to do my part to help the ones I can. They deserve good homes
as much as any other dog.

When each dog first comes here it gets a bath, gets its ears cleaned and its nails clipped. This serves several purposes. It not
only gets the dog cleaned up, it also helps to tell me a lot about the dogs personality. I also work with each rescue by walking it
on a leash, testing it for food aggression, subjecting it to many different noises and experiences and watching to see how it
responds to other animals and a variety of people. I try to be as honest as possible about each dogs personality and try to
match each one to the perfect family. Each dog that comes to Kennyacres is here until it finds its forever home. If any dog
shows signs of aggression toward a person for any reason they are not put up for adoption.

Hi Jen,

I thought I'd send some more photos of Willie. We had to put Charlie down a week ago, his hind end finally gave out and he had no feeling.
Willie has adapted well, being our only dog. He now comes in the house once and a while and is the joy of our lives. I took him in and had him
microchipped, the Vet loved him. I have been taking to our local PetSmart on Saturdays getting him used to people and other dogs, he loves it
and they love him. Everyone tells me how beautiful he is and well mannered he is. Of course they don't see him when he's going "mad cow"
running in the back yard. Victor has been off work on and off and the two of them have bonded and they play ruff together. He is such a
character and makes us laugh at his playfulness. I have to admit its so hard not to spoil him. He loves to stand or sit up high on the back of the
lounge chairs on the patio. He is such a joy. I can't tell you how much we appreciate everything you did to help us to acquire him. We both feel
it was meant to be.
