SUCCESS STORIES
Tinkerbelle
Tinkerbelle and her 3 other siblings were abandoned in the night drop.
She was just 5 weeks old when she arrived at Kenai’s House Inc.
She was bloated with parasites, and in need of a bath and lots of love.
The poor girl felt the need to guard her food.
It was evident the first few weeks of life had been tough.
She learned to trust me to provide what she needed.
She loved being cuddled, playing with her brother, and strolling through the neighborhood.
Mastering basic commands such as sit, down, and stay.
She was adopted at 9 weeks old by a shelter volunteer at an adoption event.
It was both the saddest and happiest day for both of us.
Last, update she was adjusting well to her new furever family and her name was still Tinkerbelle.
Peter Pan
Peter Pan is one of Tinkerbelle’s brother’s that was abandoned in the night drop.
At 5 weeks old he was barely 1lb, frail, lethargic and in need of lots of love.
My parents both said he had a permanent frown on his face.
I don’t believe he would have survived in a shelter environment.
He needed to be separated from his sister to make sure he got to eat or she would bully him for his food.
He quickly got stronger with time, love and of course nutrition.
He found his voice and strength and was putting his sister in her place.
He was a perfect little student mastering sit, down, and climbing the stairs.
He was so proud of himself when he could keep up with his sister and brother.
He was quite the cuddle bug and loved playing chase with his sister.
Peter’s frown eventually turned into a perfect smile.
His initial adoption lasted 4 months and unfortunately, the family surrendered him shortly after.
They realized a puppy was more then they could handle.
He was fostered through Kenai’s House Inc for 3 days before he landed his new furever family.
Last update, “Petey” was getting ready for Christmas and had his very own embroidered Christmas stalking.
I am excited to hear what Santa brought the bestest boy.
Maui
Maui, 9 months old was picked up as a stray in Riverside County and landed at one of the kill shelters.
He was in danger of being placed on the euth list right after his 48- 72 hour stray hold.
When I first met him, it was love at first sight. He walked over to me and I bent down to pet him and he placed his paw on my knee.
I knew I had to rescue him and find him a furever home.
After, his neuter he was quiet and shy for the first day and by day 2 he was all puppy.
It is obvious that he is smart, loyal, playful and a lover.
The entire Kenai’s House Inc family has fallen in love with him.
So, I am happy to announce that he will be staying with the Kenai’s House Inc family furever.
Welcome home Maui!
Bruticia
Bruticia, 2 years young was on the CODE RED list for kennel stress and for 28 day LOS.
She was labeled rescue only.
She was rescued from the shelter and taken straight to her furever family.
She is adjusting well, to having a home and siblings both human and four- legged.
Her owner describes her as a smart, loyal, and a bit of a “princess.”
Happy that she will be spending the holidays with a family of her very own.
The Pocket Pittie
1-Year Update on Marvel (now Marshall)
It’s been a year since Marshall, formerly known as Marvel, found his forever home after being rescued from a Los Angeles shelter. And what a year it has been! Marshall is flourishing with his new family and has a French Bulldog “big” sister named Pepper, aka Miss Peppa. The two are quite the pair, resembling each other so much that it’s like having one big and one small version of the same dog!
Marshall has faced a few hurdles as he adjusted to his new home, but with the patience and love of his new mom and dad, along with the guidance from his trainer at Brooks Family K9, he has made incredible progress. He has even graduated from Advanced Obedience training, mastering off-leash skills!
Marshall’s entire family adores him, from his parents and grandparents to his aunties and beyond. And there’s some huge news to share: this October 2024, Marshall is going to be a big brother to not just one, but two human siblings!
We are thrilled beyond the moon at the amazing new beginning Marshall has with his new family. Congratulations, my favorite pocket pittie. Wishing you all the best in your new home.
Anna’s Journey to Forever Home
In October 2022, a sweet but severely neglected dog named Anna was found as a stray and taken to Animal Friends of the Valley. She was matted, dirty, and understandably afraid. After a much-needed makeover, the foster coordinator reached out to me, asking if I could foster her. One look into her big, soulful eyes, and I couldn’t say no.
When Anna arrived, she was very fearful and uncertain of her new surroundings. However, she quickly bonded with Maui and Kenai, learning the home routine by following their lead. What I thought would be a few weeks of fostering turned into months. Anna spent Christmas with our family and even joined in our holiday photoshoot.
Early in 2023, Anna caught the interest of a potential adopter. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the right fit, and she was returned after three weeks. Seeing the heartbreak on her face and the lack of care she received during that short time, I made the decision to keep her.
In May 2023, Anna officially became a permanent member of the Kenai’s House Pack. I’ve always wanted a little lady in the house, and Anna has been the perfect addition. She definitely adds some sass to our home! Anna will never again know what it’s like to go without a meal, love, care, or a roof over her head.
Welcome to the family, sweet girl.
