These adorable kittens are currently being cared for in our foster program and want YOU to know that KVHS is holding a kitten supply drive April 1st-6th to collect the needed supplies for our team and our foster families in the community. These supplies will allow us to take care of the hundreds of kittens (just like these cuties!) we see every year during our busiest months. Please help if you can 🐾 Amazon: a.co/9UA106EChewy: chewygivesback.prf.hn/click/camref:1101lFDDu/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chewy.com%2Fg%2Fkenneb... #kvhskittendrive ... See MoreSee Less

Could a short term foster mean long term love for you and your family? From March 27th-April 10th, KVHS will be seeking short term foster for any of our available dogs. What does short term foster mean? It means you get to take home a dog without the commitment of adoption for up to 2 weeks, kind of like an extended doggy sleepover! If you’re interested in adopting, this allows time to see how the dog integrates and fits into your home. If it’s not the right fit, we can learn why and help set that dog up for success with a future adopter! Why try out short term foster???? • Maybe you help a tired, stressed shelter dog get a break from the shelter OR maybe you find a forever best friend!• You help us learn about dogs in a home environment – making you a KVHS rockstar helper!• Unlimited doggo play and snuggle time for a couple weeks… need we say more? All adoption restrictions apply to short-term fosters. Learn more about our KVHS doggos here to find your new temporary roomie ➡https://pethavenlane.org/available-dogs/ ... See MoreSee Less

Did you know at KVHS we have three community cat rooms? These are spaces where our available cats perch, climb, sleep, eat, and play until they are adopted - and YOU can come in and visit them! These rooms are open to our visitors during our normal adoption hours. To learn more about our available cats, please check out ➡https://pethavenlane.org/available-cats/ ... See MoreSee Less
