Kehlani - Labrador Retriever and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Burnsville, North Carolina

Meet Kehlani 💛

Kehlani's journey hasn't been the easiest but you'd never guess it by the sweet, loving girl she is today. When she first came to us over two months ago, she was extremely under-socialized and frightened of just about everything... leashes, people, other animals, even her food bowl being set down. On top of that, she was battling parvo.

Fast forward to now, and Kehlani is nothing short of a little miracle. She has fully recovered from parvo, gained the weight she needed, and most importantly found her confidence. Watching her blossom has been so special.

Today, Kehlani is a happy, gentle soul who loves treats (seriously... loves them), enjoys going on hikes, and is learning that meeting new dogs is amazing! She's a mellow girl overall, but she definitely has her playful side especially when a squeaky toy is involved. Give her a squeaker ball and she'll happily entertain herself, then come right back for affection.

She's incredibly submissive and affectionate, and once she trusts you, she'll stick close by your side. Kehlani is very food motivated, which makes building that bond with her even easier snacks are absolutely the way to her heart!

Kehlani would do best with a patient, loving family who understands she may still need a little reassurance as she continues to grow into her best self. In return, she'll give you the sweetest companionship and a front-row seat to her continued glow-up.

If you're looking for a resilient, gentle, snack-loving best friend, Kehlani is your girl!! 🐾Puppies 6 months and under are typically $200 and dogs from 7 months to 6 years are typically $100.00.

The Labrador Retriever is a popular and versatile dog breed known for its friendly demeanor and high intelligence. These dogs are often used as guide dogs for the visually impaired, search and rescue dogs, and excellent family pets. Labradors are known for their great sense of smell, strong build, and love of water, making them exceptional hunters and swimmers. With their loyal and loving nature, Labradors have rightfully earned their reputation as one of the most beloved dog breeds in the world.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The mission of the Yancey Humane Society is to shelter, rehabilitate and adopt the stray and unwanted dogs and cats...
