Story
My parents adopted Serenity after she was found abandoned for about a year outside her first owners home in 2020. She is sweet and puppy-like. She has a small amount of food aggression. My parents are both disabled, and we're moving them to be closer with us. We don't think it's wise to bring Rennie 1000 miles across the country at her age. She loves being held and snuggling, and she is so playful. She's great with other animals, the fourth image shows her playing with a younger dog.

Story
Ava brings a smile to the face of everyone who meets her. And speaking of meeting people, Ava loves everyone. This little paralyzed girl wears a diaper and had her back legs amputated- but that doesn’t slow her down a bit! Ava loves to play with other small dogs, people, and toys. She is absolutely perfect during diaper changes and a breeze to take care of - bonus, no accidents in the house. :) Ava sleeps quietly in a crate and gets very excited during dinner time. Because of her small size and mobility issues, we are looking for an adopter without large dogs or small children. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention and microchipped. Dentals are also done if necessary* Please do NOT email us, instead apply via our website at www.proudpupsrescue.com

Story
Lil Faith is a sweet 2-year-old Cairn Terrier mix weighing 11 pounds. She came to us from Montgomery County Animal Shelter in Kentucky and has been making wonderful progress since arriving in rescue. Faith was shy and scared at intake, but each day she grows more confident and continues to come out of her shell. She is amazing with other dogs and would truly thrive in a home with another friendly dog to help guide her and help her feel secure. Faith is working on her potty training and doing better every day, though she is not fully trained yet. She’s looking for a patient, loving home that will give her the time and space she needs to blossom into the happy little companion she’s meant to be. If you’re interested in meeting or adopting this dog, please fill out an application. They are fixed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, dewormed, on preventatives, and microchipped with lifetime registration. Adoption fee is $215 with an approved application.

Story
Hi! My name is Jasper and I’m a six year old terrier mix. I’m pretty small and weigh under twenty pounds. I’m super cuddly and like to run and play. I’m bonded to Renesme and we have to be adopted together. I’m a bit slow to warm up to strangers and might try and nip them at first greeting. I also need to be in a house with no kids or older kids because I’m a little nippy.  March 7, 2026, 3:29 pm
