As an open admission shelter, KHS is dedicated to finding rehabilitation alternatives for community pets experiencing behavioral issues. Some dogs may arrive at our shelter un-socialized, fearful and malnourished or in poor health.

KHS is in need of raising $1,500 to purchase 4 pieces of canine agility equipment to aid in our rehabilitation exercises for dogs requiring more than a walk, play session or our Open Paw training. This equipment is critical for rehabilitation. Candidates will have specific plans created to address specific needs.

Agility equipment for shelter dogs serves a greater purpose beyond human entertainment or learning basic canine commands:

•           Provides physical fitness for obese dogs or those experiencing weight-related health 
             problems and aids in muscle development.

•           Is a confidence-building activity for our fearful or high-anxiety dogs.

•           Increases the ability to learn and sharpens skills due to the training being fun.

•           Strengthens and builds the human animal bond for pets who may be fearful or
             un-socialized with other dogs/humans.

•           Serves as a learning tool to follow basic obedience and instructions.

•           Increases endurance and confidence.

•           Sharpens dogs’ minds, which is essential in a kennel environment.

•           Serves as a stress reducer.
