Kitty and K-9 Connection -- A New Leash On Life

Hello from Carol....Due to the number of calls received daily and busy schedules, please understand phone calls will be returned but it may be a week or a tad bit longer. Thanks for your patience, understanding and continual support of Kitty and K-9 Connection. critters and volunteers.

To alleviate some of the initial questions...there is an adoption fee of $150.00 for large dogs and $175 for small dogs, and home visits are required. If you reside outside the local area there are some different requirements...personal referrals, a vet referral, an agreement to be responsible for transportation (both ways if necessary) and a commitment to returning the pet to Kitty and K-9 if the placement does not work or your situation changes where you cannot keep the pet. Depending on the circumstances, there may be other requirements. Our commitment is to these orphaned critters we rescue...we devote tons of love, time, energy and money to their rescue, medical bills and care...our goal is to find them the very best placement with a lifetime commitment.

(If dogs are marked with a single *, call Carol at 345-2096 or kkc.carol@alaska.net. PLEASE DO NOT CALL CINDY ON DOGS, SHE DOES NOT HAVE INFORMATION ON THE ADOPTIVE DOGS.)

DOBBIE* - I am an active, happy. loveable six year old Toy Fox Terrier who was initially rescued from Animal Control. I was stuck on medical status for a bit...but the web-site was not updated for awhile (bad rescue mom) so no one knew I was off medical status and ready for adoption. I am sweet natured, a bit barky, very loving, kennel trained, somewhat bossy (depends on my mood), love to play with other dogs, comical, alert and bright. Placement will be in an adult home or home with older dog-friendly children...apartment or condo dwelling may not be for me because I am alert to all activity and tend to respond. Since I had my dental...my tongue hangs out the right side of my mouth...but it does not hinder my looks...I am still very handsome. I have so much to offer...I can be a great companion, a lap warmer, a playmate and make your days sunny and bright with my comical personality. Know that I will do my best to be most devoted to you. Sound like a fun little dog to adopt? I agree...let's get together really soon...I have been in foster care way toooo long!

JEREMY aka OLIVER* - I'm back! Seems I am destined to be in rescue, (sigh) but I really, really do want my own permanent home! I am a five year old Lab/Husky/Whippet Mix who was adopted as a puppy and returned to rescue four years later when they had their second baby. I got along with their first baby, so am not sure why they assumed I could not stay when the second baby came...go figure. I was then placed in a delightful home with children...I became a bit too protective of the family for the comfort of the parents. I would have benefited from a dog training.. In my new foster home where I am getting the training I lacked, I am happy to greet people that come to the house...not as fearful. I do get excited whem people come to visit...I announce that there is someone at the door...excitely I bark, bounce, bark...there’s someone at the door. Come see who it is. Mom, Mom, MOM come now!! You are taking too long—I want to know now!! And once the door in open; Please can I sniff them now—how about now—how long do I have to wait? I am not a bad dog...I am actually quite a good dog! I am kennel trained, ride well, great running and hiking companion, good house manners, very playful, not real barky (at all except at the door bell), love to be petted and snuggled, handsome, do well with most dogs, not bad with kids, sometimes shy but let me warm up and I share lots of licks with happy tail wags, know some commands such as learning to wait at the door until I’m told to go out—of course, then I bolt like a mad man! eager to please, learn and listen and quite loveable! I don't want to live in a foster home forever...I do need my own home with dog-wise parents who will give me definite guidance. I have had a few too many transitions in my life already but I have yet to lose faith in mankind. The right home for me just has not found me yet...please let them know I am waiting! We can share hikes in the sun, a long runs in the rain, car rides, camping, playing in the snow, couch time, etc...I will be there when things are tough and offer a warm nose and a sloppy tongue...I will be the excited "greeter" when you return home...I will be your bestest friend! I am a terrific guy! I have lots and lots to offer...in return all I ask is a life-time of love and companionship! We can be Great together!

TIGHE* - Dabble Chihuahua mix, male, about two to three years old, kennel trained, tentative in initial transition but does warm up and becomes very loving, does okay with other dogs but sometimes a bit bossy, fair to good house manners, playful and lap friendly, not real barky, can melt a heart with the "sad eyes" look, placement will be in an adult home or home with older dog-friendly children, will need understanding during transition but the end result will be delightful and worthwhile.

TIGHE IS IN TRIAL PLACEMENT

DON* - Are you looking to adopt a handsome, well-mannered and cuddly red Miniature-Pinscher? I may be your man! I was rescued from the Fairbanks Animal Control after arriving there as a stray. It was deemed that rescue should intervene cuz I was a "bit nippy". I stepped off the airplane into my foster mom's arms the end of March. I am approximately eight years old, do well with other dogs, can be somewhat growly towards humans (initially) when they attempt to pick me up, have good house manners, great with adults and older children (not small children), very cuddly (once I get to know you), curious, kennel trained, snuggly, fond of sleeping on the bed, still spunky and playful, enjoys sunbathing, not real barky, not intrusive but loving and (for a Min-Pin) am fairly gentle natured. I am on the smaller side, but am sturdy and healthy. I do sport a Min-Pin attitude sometimes, so a familiarity with terrier breeds would behoove us both. I am seeking a loving family, maybe someone with another companion dog, who will spoil me and love me for a life-time. I can assure you that I will make quite an impression on you...I am just that type of guy. God granted me a second chance and I intend to take full advantage of that opportunity...please share this new life with me! Sponsored by Beverly Simmons

TROOPER (Gate)* - Boy do I have a story to tell you. I was loved and cherished for four years of my life by a wonderful daddy who doted on me. When he died, his loving sister took on the responsibility of caring for me for the next four years. Because we lived in a remote area with no veterinary care available, it was difficult to obtain any medical treatment I required. Reluctantly, I was owner released and shipped to Anchorage into rescue because my tearful mommy felt it was "best" for me. I lucked out because my rescue/foster mom adores Toy Fox Terriers in-spite of the fact that we tend to be a very quirky little breed. Initially living in the pack of foster dogs was a bit overwhelming for me, but I adjusted, gathering up my courage and showing my terrier 'tude...I was still a little dog with a big dog attitude afterall. I had a dental (lost a few teeth) and spent a little over a month trying to clear up both infected ears. I am also taking supplements to help my joints and hips. Altho' I am eight years old with some hip issues, I get around great, am able to jump up on lower furniture and am still quite active. I am a bit tentative with new people, but warm up; enjoy adults and older children (no small ones) and am extremely devoted. I tolerate those kissie kiss dog lovers (I like it but try not to let anyone know...gotta keep that manly terrier image), am not real barky, kennel trained but do not need to be kenneled, happy to be your loving companion, not intrusive but fond of lap-time, sleeps soundly on the foot of the bed, thrilled to ride, a bit bossy with big dogs, okay with a dog-wise cat, truly gentle natured (until ear medicine time), a bit comical and secretly a favorite because I am delightful (according to my previous and foster moms). If you like terriers, I bet we would do well together. I am an awesome little man who will warm your heart and make you smile. We could be soul mates, bestest friends, good companions, sleep buddies and couch potatoes together...what a team we would make!

DAEL* - On medical status. Any contributions to the expenses of this little Pom's leg surgery would be greatly appreciated. About two years old, fair to good house manners, sweet natured, somewhat barky, happy and easy-going, adores lap-time, kennel trained, adult home or home with older dog-friendly children, loves outside, anytime being near his human is a good time to Dael, friendly and gentle.

TUT* - Imagine watching your owner get hauled away in handcuffs and then find yourself taken to Animal Control...a bit scary huh? Well, that is what happened to me. I was afraid and confused...who wouldn't be. Once in rescue, I proved to be very loving and lap oriented. A handsome, taller Miniature Pinscher who is about three and a half years old. I am a bit barky at times but not awful, people oriented (bonds quicker to females), kennel trained, fairly good house manners, snuggly, cuddly, a bit bossy with other dogs sometimes but otherwise fine, not real playful because I prefer lap-time, rides well, will follow you everywhere if given the opportunity and very companion oriented. I would do awesome in an adult home or home with older, dog-friendly children. If you have a lap that needs to be warmed, desire a devoted companion and enjoys being the delight of a little dog's heart, you would be my person. I am desperately seeking my own home and person(s)...I want to bond and be loved...I will give my all to be the best buddy of your life. What a great opportunity for you! I am a great guy...bet if you gave me a chance, I can prove that fact rather quickly...smile!

HOPPER* - Looking for an active, friendly, playful companion? Look no further...here I am! A handsome Rat Terrier, I was at Animal Control for the second time...returned for chewing. In rescue, that has not been a problem because I am busy and kenneled when no one is home to supervise me. Altho' I am three and a half years old, I am a puppy in spirit. I am playful, busy, active, fun-loving, cuddly, not real barky, fairly good house manners, love to sleep on the bed, love walks and car rides, good with people and other dogs but do like to antagonize the cat a bit, happy-go-lucky and have an adventuresome spirit. I would do awesome in an active adult home or home with older, dog-friendly children. Once I get focused on something...I do stay focused...which can be a test of your creativity in redirecting my attention. Life is loaded with fun things to do, people to meet and discoveries to share. I am excited to get started in a new life with a family who will love me forever. Let's get together and rock 'n' roll...we can make awesome memories together. I'm waiting excitedly...come on, let's get started sharing our lives!

AUGIE* (the doggie) -I showed up at Animal Control in early June of 2008...what a mess I was. I was nearly hairless, my ears were split, my skin raw, scabby, sore and infected, eye infections, etc. I looked and felt horrible...deemed "not adoptable", rescue was called. It has taken awhile but I am much better and would love to finally have the opportunity for my own home. I am a sweet, lap-hugging, three year old (?), male Miniature Pinscher who still has his ears and tail (and I like it that way). I will need to be on a "good food" diet (no beef or wheat) throughout my life-time so I won't get itchy or be prone to additional infections. I am kennel trained, fair house manners, cuddly and snuggly, not real barky, people friendly (no smaller children), loves to run with the other dogs and play, can be a bit bossy with other dogs and my people at times, a bit too interested in the cats, can wag my tail better than most (cuz I have one to wag...smile), somewhat independent and I make the best lap warmer anyone could ever want or need. I know I come with some issues...but they aren't insurmountable. I have improved with a good diet and will continue to improve with lots of love and health-caring parents. I have to admit...after months of treatment...I do not like to get ear drops, eye drops, medication rubs, etc. anymore...(altho' I like tummy rubs)...I do argue a bit now cuz I am just darn tired of the whole mess...do you blame me? Bet not. I may still look a bit pitiful, but don't let that fool you...I am a great little guy...I will inundate you with lap-time...endear you with a touch of attitude and convince you that life with me is a challenge you just cannot resist. Terriers come in many shapes and sizes with a variety of personalities and attitudes...I may not be the dog for everybody...but I am definitely the dog for that right somebody. I'm just awaiting for ya!!! Come and get me!!

LOLLI & LAYRD* - Animal Control was a bit scarey for us...we needed to be rescued. We were taken to Animal Control because our family could not afford us anymore. About us: Lolli...I am a Chocolate and tan, cubby little female who is five years old. Layrd...I am a black and gray-faced male who is about seven years old. We are both Chihuahuas. We are very people friendly (not little people tho'), adore lap-time and snuggles, are fairly bonded to each other (altho' Lolli is a bit more dominate and Layrd a little shy), cute and comical, kennel trained, sweet natured, happy little souls, we love to give puppy kisses, great companions and oh so sweet. We would really like a home together where we can bestow our love on people who appreciate us and love us back. We are heart warmers and true love-bugs. We are small, so we don't take up much room...but we will fill your heart with joy. Think of us, consider us and then adopt us...you won't believe how wonderful we will make your life.

JAYNE & JAYNA* - This is our story...okay fairy tale...whatever. Once upon a time two adorable little princess Chihuahua's lived in a big castle. They were very spoiled and waited on hand and foot. Being princesses, they were very protected from the big bad world. One day the two princesses escaped the confines of the castle...they ran, danced and played through the grass and flowers. They drank from the spring and played in the water. They chased butterflies and bumble bees...they had a delightful time. The world was so new and exciting. Eventually the two little princesses decided they needed to go home...they were hungry and tired. But sadly they were lost. They tried to find their home and went to several places for help...all to no avail. Suddenly a dashing Animal Control officer drove up in his shiny red truck...it was not a knight in shining armor, but he would do...they would be safe. But he did not take them home...instead he took them to "jail". Oh they were so scared and frightened...this was definitely not their castle. They were offered "gruel"...apparently this foreign food was called "dog food". They were hungry, so they ate a little tiny bit. Days went by and they waited and waited for their king or queen to rescue them from this very scarey dungeon. It did not happen. Now the princesses were very nervous and worried. What will happen to them? They could not stay here forever...in this noisey cage. What happened to their warm toasty beds, the special foods, the servants that took care of their every need and that darn king and queen? All was lost! Suddenly a lady came in and looked at them...she was a bit tattered and worn. She said "sure I will rescue them" and the two princesses were taken from their cage by loving arms. They were so happy...wiggly and kissy. But they were again not returned to the castle...instead they were placed in a pack of "dogs" and was told they were in "foster". Again they were scared and fearful, but that quickly passed as they discovered they had friends to play with, arms to hold them, laps sit on, a bed to burrow under the blankets and lots of love...but still the "gruel"...oh well, they got used to it. The two princesses are happy in foster but would really like to have their own "castle" again. Someone to love them together and who will delight in their beauty and cuteness. They do not do well with small children...so it will have to be a home without little munchkins. These two year old princesses are very sweet, kennel trained, bonded, love lap-time and lovies, dance and prance for joy, are becoming more assured of themselves and have a great time in life. They dream of a new king and/or queen who will love and cherish them...promising to keep them safe from harm. The two little princesses will brighten the heart and soul of any castle. Now they are dreaming of living happily ever after. The end.

ROK* - Have you ever seen such a handsome Miniature Pinscher/Manchester Terrier before? I know you have not! I was surprised to find myself at Animal Control where I was owner released because they were "moving". I could understand why such a thing would happen to me or why I would be "dumped" after six years of devoted companionship. I am an awesome six year old…well behaved, kennel trained, not intrusive but like lap time and companionship, fairly quiet, good house manners, get along well with other dogs, enjoy irritating the cats a bit, like to take rides and walks and generally a very good natured gentleman. Altho' I do okay in foster care with the other dogs, my true desire is to find my own home where I can settle down and share the rest of my life with people who care and can appreciate me. I would do really well in an adult home or home with older children…a fenced yard would be a bonus too. Adopt me and you can't go wrong…personality wise, I am different than most terriers. I am a gentleman who would make an excellent companion and make you a proud owner.

ZIN* (affectionately called "Tella Tubby") was taken to Animal Control when his disabled mom could no longer care for him. He definitely made everyone chuckle...aged and chubby...what a combination. This ten year old Chihuahua weighed in at 22 pounds...he has lost weight and gets around much better. He had to have hernia surgery and a dental; also antibiotics was necessary due to a skin infection. He is a happy and well-adjusted chubby buddy who only wants to be loved and to please. He is fairly quiet, kennel trained, has fairly good housemanners, can jump up on the couch (amazing), puts your legs to sleep but still loves laptime, loves to be petted and cuddled. This hefty little guy is a treasure and would be a wonderful addition to the right home. He will be placed in an adult home. He will also need to be on a diet, which is obvious...a few walks would be beneficial also. His happy-go-lucky attitude makes him so very endearing. If you have it in your heart to share your home with an older, but extremely wonderfully sweet chubby guy...this could be the buddy for you!!

TOTSI* - My foster mom calls me "Hotsy Totsi" cuz she thinks I am the sexiest dog ever...don't know where she gets it, but I let her humor herself. I am a rollie pollie, independent natured, eight year old (maybe) Chihuahua mix...but I look like a miniature blue heeler cattle dog. Initially I was rescued from Animal Control, had a huge tumor removed from between my chest and front leg. I was adopted by a mommy who took me on lots of walks and loved me, but sadly her health situation required she return me to rescue. I miss having my own home and life. I am not particularly cuddly, but will sit with you on the couch (when you lift me up there) and enjoy petting. I do okay with other dogs but really prefer to be an only dog (or share space with one other dog), great house manners, adores walks and meeting people, sleeps well on the bed, not intrusive, barky at times but on a whole not real barky, will follow you from room to room, relishes people food (but not allowed any), rides well, irritates cats at every opportunity, bossy sometimes (if allowed) and (according to my foster mom) "dang cute". I would excel in an adult home who will accept my independent yet loving nature and who will share walks with me. I do have a heart of gold and share it happily (as long as I feel it is on my terms). If you have a sense of humor and leadership abilities, you and I would probably get along great. According to my foster mom...I am truly a "hoot"...a handful for some but a delight to others. I sport a true terrier nature is all...and for some that is very endearing. She adores me...I know the right person will feel the same. Buckle up baby...we can go on an awesome ride through life together. I need a good home and you need a good dog...what a match! I have lots of adventures yet to share...lets get them started!

MARIKO* - On medical status...A little (almost) six months old Chihuahua puppy that will have a few special needs...that is me! I was rescued from Animal Control with my siblings and mommy. It was discovered I was a hydrocephalic puppy. (Hydrocephalus is an abnormal accumulation of fluid on the brain which causes enlargement of the skull and compression of the brain, which can destroy some neural tissue.) The vets indicated that the condition could possibly lessen with age, but it may leave some disabilities such as eye-sight impairments and a slower thought process for me. At this point, I do have some eye-sight impairment...altho' it has improved since my head shrunk to a normal Chihuahua apple head size recently...a bit of a surprise to everyone. No matter...I am a happy, playful, loving and delightful puppy. I even play with a big Doberman and Great Dane...I have no fear. I have a huge little heart with lots of love. At this point, at the advice of three different vets, I will remain in foster care until I am at least eight months old. Even tho' I have a few issues, I am an awesome little puppy. I am the sunshine of everyone's life...and truly brighten their days cuz I make them smile...they can't help it. Sending my little puppy kisses and hugs...believe me, I have lots to share! Any donations to my care and medical expenses would be greatly appreciated. It looks like I will be on medical status for several more months due to my guarded health issues...and potentially shortened life-span. In the meantime...I am enjoying life to its fullest.

MOOMBA* - Don't confuse me with "mambo" cuz that is a dance. I do love to dance and prance tho'. I am a male who is about three years of age, a Schnauzer mix (the mix? could be poodle or Chinese Crested...not real sure). A bit nervous at times, but do warm up and am very loving. An active adult home or home with older, dog-friendly children would be great for me cuz I am an energetic dog. I am looking forward to a home where there is patience and love...allowing me to settle in and blossom into the terrific dog I can be. Kennel trained, gentle natured, rides well, good house manners, does well with other dogs, not sure how to play but try to be playful, not real barky, enjoys walks and hikes, happy, bright, alert and cuddly when invited. I was rescued from Animal Control and am now waiting in foster care for that right home...one willing to give me a life-time commitment. I have tons to offer...I believe I would be an awesome companion and friend. We can dance through life together...at the beat of our own drummer...and have lots of fun. Sounds exciting...I waiting for you!

ATARA* - "It's a bird...it's a plane...it's wonder dog"!! I challenge fences, doors and open windows to in an effort to escape. Don't ask me why...I am almost desperate to be "gone"...anywhere or everywhere. I am an adorable, sweet and loving, seven year old Toy Fox Terrier (altho' my foster dad swears I am a Chihuahua...it is a guess either way). I am a rather fearful little girl...I want you to pick me up, but I panic and scream while I roll over very submissive. While at Animal Control, where I arrived as a stray (gee...wonder why), I was panicked and in need of dental care (my mouth was very infected and I lost lots of teeth with the dental). I want to be loved...I am desperate to be loved...but am so afraid to be loved! It is an awful feeling sometimes. I am kennel trained, eat well, healthy, a little nervous with any changes but do adjust, need a secured fenced yard or a harness and leash for outside time, do well with potty pads, love to sleep on the bed under the covers, nervous around assertive other dogs...okay with calmer dogs, desperate for security and love but afraid to pursue these on my own (it will be necessary to work with me and allow me time to adjust) and very, very adorable. I would excell in an adult home or home with older, quiet, dog-friendly children...but prefer an adult home only. It sounds like I am a challenge...I don't mean to be. Someone made me fearful and now I am the one suffering. I will require someone who will be patient, loving, committed to me for a life, will ensure I remain safe and cannot escape, will cuddle and snuggle with me and wait to watch me blossom into the sweetest dog ever. I am a butterfly in a cacoon...waiting to spread my wings with joy and love. Please be my special someone!

BLAKELY* - "A huntin' I will go...A huntin' I will go...Hi-Ho the merry-o...A huntin' I will go." I am a huntin' for my new, loving and caring family...Are you my mother (or father)? I am a handsome, busy, two year old Chihuahua...who found himself at Animal Control because I "did not do well in a daycare". Okay, I admit I am a bit bossy...but who wouldn't be if you had to tolerate a bunch of kids in daycare...yikes. I am fun-loving, play well with others (but can be a bit scrappy at times...a little control issue), kennel trained, fair house manners, not too barky, good natured...if you have an available lap I am there, spunky, dapper, always ready for whatever you want to do (watch TV, go for rides, take> walks, play...you name it, we can do it together), confident and rather comical. As you can guess, an adult home or home with older children would be my requirement...no small children. Another play buddy would be grand too! I know I will capture your heart if you meet me. I will be a devoted little partner who will let you know you are the bestest ever and prove daily that I am ecstatic to spend time with you. Let me trap your heart and help me end my "huntin' trip" for that special someone. I am stalking the woods of life searching for you...are you there?

FONZ* - Heyyyy....Happy days are here again! Altho' I sport a tough-guy name...I am not a tuff-guy at all...I am a push-over for sure...sorta like "the Fonz". Need a little buddy who is huggable and squishy? Want to feel like you are the mostest and experience the joy of pure devotion with undying love? I would be that awesome little man that could fill every need of companionship and love. I am a cubby (but not too chubby), five year old Chihuahua who firmly believes that lap-time is the best thing in life. I was taken to Animal Control because I did not do well in a daycare...I tried, but those kids needed a little bossing around...someone had to do the job. Some things about me: sweet natured, happy and friendly, rides well, kennel trained, have fairly good house manners, great personality, cuddly and snuggly, does well with other dogs (but prefer my people), quiet, loves sleeping on the bed, will spend hours on your lap, playful sometimes and camera shy...but tolerant. An adult home or home with older dog-friendly children would be good...maybe another companion buddy dog. My heart is huge...I share it willingly...and as often as possible. I am delightful and friendly. We can share lots of happy days together. You will know you are loved and cherished...I only ask the same in return. I'm waiting patiently for my own home and someone I can be adore every day. Is that you?
