WE ARE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD HOMES!!
CAN YOU HELP US?
Our dogs and puppies were pulled from a WV shelter, most on the day they were scheduled to be euthanized. (Yes even the 6 week old puppies have a time limit and are killed each week.) We are a small organization that is committed to helping all that we can, but even we have space restrictions. When you adopt from us, you save not only your new pet's life, but the life of a dog and/or puppy that is still sitting in the shelter that, until you freed up some space by adopting, we didn't have room to save.
If you would like to sponsor or foster one of our orphans, please contact us at jamie@akkennel.com or 301-582-3353. Any donation is accepted and put entirely towards the animals' care and vet requirements.
The shelter that we pull from is very hard working, but like us, they are fighting with space restrictions, and so they euthanize a lot of animals everyday. If you would like to take a look at who they have please visit http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/WV15.html , and then contact them to tell them about your interest and to find out any information they have on the animal. Occasionally we do transports to the Hagerstown, MD area, otherwise they are approximately 3 hours away.
For a list of other shelters in the area please scroll down to the bottom of this page.
Thank you and God Bless!

What the Dogs Come With:
1-Current vaccines include: Distemper/Parvo combo, Rabies, Bordetella
2-Wormings and/or current on Heartworm prevention and flea and tick prevention
Adoption Process & Requirements:
1-Adopter Application filled out and processed. Applications are available via email/fax at jamie@akkennel.com or 1-866-840-6717. The application process generally takes 7 business days, please be patient and wait for us to contact you.
2-Adoption Contract signed by the adopter and an rescue representative.
3-Spay/Neutering of ALL our adopted orphans, unless otherwise determined by the rescue due to sickness/age/etc, by their 6 month birthday. If the pet is adopted before they are 6 months old there is a $100 neuter/spay deposit required, the adopter receives the deposit back once we have written proof that the surgery was completed. We DO follow up and enforce our contract, this is not an option or something to be taken lightly.
We do not want to be saving your newly adopted pet's children from shelters in the future, this is why we have a strict neuter/spay policy and requirements.
4-Adoption fee-cash or check made out to Animal Kingdom Kennel. We do not take credit cards for adoptions.
