Sarah Mae

Meet Sarah Mae. She is a 3 year old Golden Retriever. 

 

   Sarah Mae is a very nice dog with people.  She loves her walks, snuggling, and (of course) getting her belly rubbed. 

Unfortunately, she is not suited to live with other dogs. Sarah Mae should be the only pet in her home.

 

 

 

The ideal family for Sarah Mae would have a nice fenced in yard where she can play ball. Or even a country estate where she doesn't need to be around other dogs.

 

Sarah Mae is an active dog and would enjoy a ouples walks a day. She would also be an excellent jogging partner!

Great News Everyone!

 

 

This afternoon Bonnie and Bella have both found their new homes!

 

 Bella was seized and brought to the shelter in late May.

 

Bonnie, pictured with her new owner, has been with the KHS since early April. 

Jack

Meet Jack (has been adopted)! He a 5 year old Papillon/Mix. Jack is a great little lapdog. Jack will love to sit with you on a park bench or curl up on the counch with you!

While I was trying to get a close up picture of Jack, I sat down on a bench and instead of looking at the surroundings - like some dogs have done - Jack hopped up lovingly sat on my lap. It was so adorable.







Jack is mature and well-mannered and would love a family with similar characteristics. Jack has lived with cats and would probably prefer to be the only dog. He will require some dental work and weekly combing.

Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Declawed: No
Intake Date: July 20th, 2012

Bonnie



Anyone looking for a sweetheart?

The Kingston Humane Society has your new companion!

Bonnie wants to keep the ball

Come in to the KHS and meet Bonnie (has been adopted); a 3 year old Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier mix medium sized dog. She loves to play ball, Bonnie just may not always return it to you right away. She likes to play with the ball and let you have the ball when she's ready. I still like to play with her until she is ready to let go of the ball. You can rub her belly and she will still hold onto the beloved ball. If the ball is thrown high enough Bonnie will even jump for it; I have seen her catch the ball once.



So happy during a belly rub

Bonnie also loves - like most dogs - belly rubs. She will easily roll over when you're rubbing her; even with the ball still in her mouth. 

Bonnie wants to play ball

Bonnie walks very nicely on the leash, knows how to sit, and is eager to please you. She is a calm dog, but will still be in the mood to play or go for walks.

Come to the Kingston Humane Society today and meet this adorable sweetheart!

Rambo

Rambo and my friend, Yasmine

 

 

Meet the gentle giant, Rambo. (has been adopted)

He is a Purebred German Shepherd. As I described already, Rambo is extremely gentle and calm.

Rambo is great walking and loves to cuddles. I had a friend with me while walking Rambo, and anywhere we stopped he would love to just lay with her.

Rambo loves tenis balls. He didn't seem to want to play fetch much, but when we threw the ball for him Rambo would run to it and sometimes he would lay with it or roll around next to it. It was so cute while walking or resting, Rambo would want the tenis ball. While walking he wanted the ball, but would shortly drop it (sometimes unoticed). When we were resting he paw at the ball until it was near him.

If your interesting in Rambo, please call the Kingston Humane Society. He will just steal your heart (and couch)!

Leah

Here is the adorable Leah. (Has been adopted) Leah is a 6 year old Smooth Haired Miniature Dachshund Mix

She was previously owned, and seems to still getting used to not being with her previous family. Leah is in need of someone to give her the love she needs.









Leah is very loving and sweet. Unfortunately, she did not want to go far for her walk - which is why I think she is still adjusting to her new temporary home.


Once we stopped at a bench or under a tree she was more than happy to stay there and enjoy the outdoors. It was just as we walked farther (this began not too far into the walk) from the building.

Leah is such a sweet girl. She is still adjusting, and hopefully will have a new loving home.

Marshall has a new home!

Great news! Marshall has found his new forever home! His mom Eva and dad Andrew are very happy to have found him.

I'm sure Eva and Andrew are going to have many happy moments with the marvelous Marshall!

Marshall

 Meet Marshall. He is a year old Basset Hound/Beagle Mix. (Has been adopted)

Marshall is such a sweet boy. He loves to run around in the yard for a bit. He is also so happy during his walk.

Don't try to get his picture lying down alone. He will most likely come to you and cuddle.

Remimder: With the Summer Sun comes Summer Heat

The Kingston Humane Society is strongly urging everyone to please leave your loving pets at home in the safe cool air. Animals should be in a well ventilated area and should have plenty of water. Dogs and cats can easily suffer from heat stroke, please vist KHSs website for information on signs of heat stroke and steps you can take to prevent it. http://www.kingstonhumanesociety.ca/index.cfm?page=newsbrief&article=452

KHS vs the city council

Please help support the Kingston Humane in the fight for pay increase for pound services.

"The Kingston Humane Society has been involved in discussions with City hall staff around our contract to provide pound services to the city. As our costs have risen significantly we can no longer afford to provide the service without a large increase.

City staff are making a recommendation to City Council that a Request for Proposal for pound services be issued. This matter will be discussed at t...he City council meeting on Tuesday June 19th.

Should the KHS stop being the pound, animals impounded may become vulnerable to pound seizure laws; in otherwords, after 72 hours a lab can requisition the animals and they must be turned over for research purposes.

I encourage everyone who is concerned about this to notify the Mayor and their city councillor that they want the City to ensure that any future agreement regarding pound services include a clause that animals will not be made available for research purposes whether the agreement is with KHS or an alternate service provider.

For those of you who are not City of Kingston residents I believe you still have a right to make your opinions on this matter known to City council if you so choose. Animals don't see borders after all and some of the municipal boundaries are laid out so that an animal may be in one municipality one moment and another in the next and then back again" (taken from Kingston Humane Society post on Facebook).

Reba, Monty, Elwood, Duncan, and Goofy

Hello everyone!

Meet the new available dogs at Kingston Humane Society!

I have been away this past weekend for my grandmother's 70th birthday, and have gotten my wisdom teeth out monday.

Monty

In my absence KHS have multiple new dogs available; Reba, Monty, Elwood, Duncan, and Goofy.

Reba

Reba is Female Boxer/Mix.



Monty is a Male Pug/Mix.



Elwood is a Male 10 month Retriever Labrador/Mix. (no photo was available on the KHS site)

Duncan

Duncan is a year and a half Irish Wolfhound/Mix; looks like he needs some
grooming.

Goofy


Goofy is a year old Male black and white Boxer/Hound.




Elwood

I will be adding a post for each dog - as I have done for others - after I return to walking at the KHS (hopefully very soon).

Elvis

Taken from the
KHS website

 Here is the adorable Elvis. (has been adopted)

Elvis is a 2 year old male Husky mix. Elvis was surrendered by his family as they were unable to care for him.

Sniffing around

Elvis is housetrained and knows multiple commands. Generally Elvis is great on the leash but like any dog, he will investigate something of interest. Elvis is great with other dogs.

Elvis suffers from separation anxiety and will need a patient new family to help him work through it. He could benefit from a country home with a secure outdoor pen. The outdoor pen will give him a place to stay while his family is away. Any close neighbours would not enjoy the company of Elvis as he will sing his sorrows when also. No close neighbours would be necessary!

So happy during his walk

Elvis is such a sweet and fun-loving guy; he loves to be part of the action. Elvis needs regular daily exercise and mental stimulation - apartment life is not for him!


If you think you can provide Elvis with a stable loving home please come to the Kingston Humane Society to meet him.

Great News!

Great News everyone!

Nova Sam (now Nova Chain) has his forever home!

Nova has spent 3 years and 18 days at the Kingston Humane Society. He will be missed, but everyone at KHS are happy for him.

Nova Chain (meaning acquired and spear) has gone to a few outings - been recognized as a rescue - and was such a good boy. His new owners recount his crate training achievments; "I also was able to crate him for a 10 minute shower and a 20 minute trip to the grocery store without barking incident."

We are all so happy for Nova Chain and his new family!
