5. Kahlo
Kahlo is a sweet, playful little girl who is officially ready to find her forever home!
Kahlo’s story almost had a very different ending. She and her siblings found themselves in an overcrowded shelter down south where they were at serious risk simply because there wasn’t enough space. Thankfully, we were able to rescue them in time — and now Kahlo is safe, loved, and thriving in foster care. But now she’s ready for the next chapter: finding a family of her very own so her foster can open their home to save even more dogs in need.
Read more about Kahlo
Kahlo is your typical puppy — curious, silly, energetic, and still working on all the important “puppy things” as she grows. She’s learning more every day and will need a family committed to helping her continue building confidence and manners as she matures.
She’s currently living in a foster home with cats and she also loves other dogs!
Kahlo has already overcome so much at such a young age, and now all she needs is a safe, loving forever home where she can continue to grow into the amazing dog she’s meant to be.

Adopting a dog in Donahue
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
