d a new family who will love him just as much — a home full of fun, kindness, and the stability he deserves.
Anchor is currently underweight and will need a family committed to helping him fill out and feel his best again. Despite everything he’s been through, he remains a happy, affectionate boy with a big heart.
During his dog test, Anchor was very excited to say hello, but once he got his greeting out of the way, he simply wandered the yard and did his own thing. Based on this, we believe he could thrive in a wide variety of homes, especially those with friendly, respectful dogs.
One thing we know for sure: Anchor is not a fan of cats. He grew up with one, but as he got older, he discovered that chasing them made them run — and to him, that became a game. He has never hurt a cat, but he doesn’t understand that they don’t play like dogs do. Because of this, he will need a cat‑free home.
One important thing to know: Anchor is not crate trained and should not be left in a crate. He becomes stressed in a crate, so a home that can safely manage him without crating will be the best fit.
Anchor is wonderful with kids of all ages. He does eat faster when someone touches him or his bowl, which we believe is simply due to being underweight and feeling unsure about food. With time, consistency, and proper nutrition, this should improve.
Anchor is ready for a family who will help him gain confidence, build healthy habits, and shower him with the love he’s been missing. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion with a bright spirit, Anchor may be the perfect addition to your home.
Anchor's adoption fee is $175, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption.
Please note: All of our animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Each pet also receives a behavioral assessment to help us better understand the type of home they may thrive in. However, it’s important to remember that the results may not fully reflect an animal’s true personality, as shelter and foster environments can be stressful. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: .acskc/adopt-1
Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet! We welcome adopters from out of state to apply!
