Granite is a senior pup who is struggling in the shelter.

He has raving reviews from his former foster.

“Meet our favorite grey faced guy, Granite!

He is looking for his home 🖤

He's a simple mellow guy who just wants to lounge around and be a part of things. He ADORES being pet and will happily rest his face on the windowsill to keep an eye on the neighborhood 😂. His first night with me was pretty rough. He was having nightmares and woke up crying, he needs a family that will love him and support him. We don't know his past but he has a long way to go in terms of healing and being loved. He does not to do well in a crate and will break out. However, he does well with all kinds of dogs and is a big coexister! He is not destructive, can be trusted outside of his crate, and is potty trained! ”

Granite is ready to meet you!

Puffin is a sweet senior looking for his people.

Puffin is back at the shelter while his foster family is out of town.

He does well with kids and laid back dogs.

Can you help Puffin?

Come meet him today!

Joey is ready for his home!

This guy came to KCAS as a stray. He was covered in fleas and missing most of his hair.

With the help of his loving foster he is a different dog!

Joey is an anxious guy who needs a few days to come out of his shell.

He was adopted and returned because that time was not given to him.

Please email [email protected] to meet him!

Mojave is on the hunt for his people.

This big boy was in tough shape upon arrival.

It appears he spent a large part of his life locked in a crate and or left outside with no food.

He is an older guy who is looking for an adopter or foster.

He is amzing with all people! He would prefer to be the only dog in the home.

Mojave has weak back legs and needs a home with limited stairs.. It’s extremely hard for him to walk at the shelter.

Come meet this hunk!

Thank you Kenton County for helping Baby and Bowie find foster homes yesterday.

Bowie has been in the shelter for months.

He’s never had a break. No day trips, no fosters, no day of rest.

Bowie is rapidly declining in the shelter.

Bowie needs a little time to warm up to new people. He is extremely dog friendly. Can you open your home to Bowie?

You won’t regret it.

07/31/2024

Seniors don’t belong in the shelter.

We have so many calmer, dog friendly seniors waiting for their homes.

Please consider stopping in and adopting or fostering one.

07/31/2024

Oreo now, “Rio”, enjoying his new family.

His owners understand that rescues can require a little extra training.

We are so happy about this adoption.

KCAS has many dogs who don’t thrive in a shelter environment. Please consider opening your home to one of them.

Meet Joey!

His foster has only good news to report.

“Ready to crawl under the covers with you after an evening of ball tosses.

5-Year-Old Chihuahua/ Min pin mix

Uses potty pad and goes outside.

Cats okay. Dogs okay. Someone his size or calmer might be better.

Barks and howls initially when left alone. This has gotten better over time. But apartments may not be best.

Super smart boy. His skin and fur are still recovering from a bad flea infestation and he is still gaining weight. He came in very hungry and weak. This guy will fully recover and have a beautiful plush coat. He's very soft.”

Email [email protected] to meet him!

At Kenton County Animal Services, we're taking deliberate steps to improve the quality of the animals in our care's lives. That includes putting a deeper focus on playgroup. While it might just seem like fun and games, playgroup has several real benefits to our pups, including: ▪️ Giving them time to burn excess energy that comes from spending the majority of their day in a kennels ▪️ Allowing them time to socialize with other dogs so their contact isn't limited solely to human interactions ▪️ Providing our team firsthand opportunities to see how well our dogs interact with other dogs to see if they're a good fit for a multi-dog home.
