Karing Kennels

Karing Kennels takes in approximately 150 to 200 animals a month. These animals are either turned in by their owners, found on or off base, or just abandoned outside the kennels gate. Karing Kennels works very hard to find homes for these abandoned pets. They return 10% to their owners; 95% of the remaining animals are adopted and only 5% are humanely euthanized.
If you are interested in adopting a pet, please come out to the next Karing Kennels’ Pet Adoption Day!
