Adopt a shelter dog!
When Squidward's new owners first visited KVHS to meet some adoptable dogs, they had specific traits in mind. They were looking for a dog who liked water and car rides, and didn't mind being the only pet. Fortunately, Squidward fit the bill - he enjoys car rides, loves being the only pet, and is warming up to the idea of water activities, though kayaking is clearly not his thing.
Squidward spent 113 days at KVHS before finding his forever home. His new owners took a chance on a dog who had been there for a while, and now they have a best friend who brings laughter and love into their lives.
Many dogs at KVHS have been waiting for months to find the right families. Please consider opening your heart and home to a new dog, then visit us to meet your perfect match. We hope to see you soon! pethavenlane.org/
Almost every cat kennel on our adoption floor is occupied by a cat searching for a family. So, we've made some funny little stories to help them find homes. Come adopt a cat this weekend or else weāll be forced to fill your newsfeed with more silly stories. š«µ

Remember Retro, the shy kitty we told you about earlier this month? Look at him now!
Although he's still on the more reserved side, he has come a long way out of his shell, and we're thrilled to get to know the real him. We believe Retro would do well in a quieter home where he can continue to receive mellow socialization. Due to his timid nature, he would be best suited for a household with older humans. He should be fine with other pets, as long as they are calm and respectful of his boundaries.
For more information about Retro, please visit our website:

Our cats have settled in nicely in their new digs, especially the shy ones like Retro. š»
When Retro first arrived at KVHS, he was very nervous, but he has been doing better after receiving lots of TLC. He is now accepting gentle petting and attention, and has made close friends with one of our pawsome staff members, Cheyenne.
He even purrs a little now!

Meet Aries, a lovable canine who has almost perfected his "heel" command and is a pro at the "sit" command. He's a quick learner and also knows "drop it" and "paw"! Despite being a smarty-paws, Aries is still waiting for a loving home to call his own.
When he's not training, Aries loves to go on adventures, play fetch, and spend time with his humans. He would make a great companion for someone who doesn't have any other pets and is looking for a loyal furry friend. Don't hesitate to come and meet Aries, he's been so patiently waiting for his forever home.
