Kenai’s House Inc is a non-profit, animal welfare organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of stray, neglected and abused animals.

Kenai’s House Inc is completely funded through fundraising efforts and public donations.

All of our pets are cared for by foster homes and receive complete medical care, which includes worming, vaccinations, spaying/neutering and microchipping prior to their adoption.

This questionnaire is designed to help Kenai’s House Inc and yourself determine if a specific dog is the right one for you and your household.

DOG ADOPTION APPLICANT INFORMATION

Thank you for opening your heart and home to a rescue dog!

Kenai’s House Inc. is a nonprofit animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in need. We believe adoption is more than finding a dog a home. It is creating a lasting connection and setting both the dog and family up for success.

Our adoption process is designed to help us understand your lifestyle, household, experience, and expectations so we can make the best possible match.

Our Adoption Philosophy: We believe every dog deserves more than a second chance. They deserve the opportunity to thrive! Through thoughtful matching, training, socialization, and continued support, we work to set every dog and family up for a successful, lifelong relationship.

Our Foster-to-Adopt Commitment: Every adoption includes a one-week foster-to-adopt trial period. This gives you and your new companion time to adjust, establish routines, and determine whether the placement is the right fit.

Our Lifetime Promise: Adoption is just the beginning! Kenai’s House is committed to supporting our adopters beyond adoption day through guidance, resources, training support, and a community that

understands the importance of keeping pets in their forever homes.

Please answer all questions honestly and thoroughly. Our team looks forward to learning more about you and helping you find your perfect companion!

Kenai’s House Inc.
Here for the Lifetime of the Pet.
