Max

Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Male, Puppy

Charlestown, IN

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I started fostering Max as a puppy from LMAS last June. He bonded very quickly with one of my son’s and we all fell in love with him so we chose to adopt him. He came to us as a tripod. We are unsure what happened to his leg. He has been going to doggie obedience school at Duffy’s in Jeff and I will turn over the full program upon his adoption. It’s been paid in full. He is such a fantastic, lovey dovey, no personal space given, typical Staffy. The problem is every child he comes in contact with, other than my one son he’s bonded to, he bites. I attributed it to a puppy nipping, but Max is almost a year old. A few weeks ago he attacked one of my son’s who was swinging on the swings in our backyard. He bit him 3 times and it broke the skin. He wasn’t bleeding, but bruised very badly and we don’t feel comfortable keeping him in our home of 5 young boys. We have to put him in his crate every time our boys have friends over and it’s just become too stressful.

Story

Kipper is a Cinderella story! Look into those gorgeous eyes! Here is a dog with Hope! Kipper is a four year old, possible Shepherd / Doberman mix. He's a big boy at 70 pounds with a beautiful two tone reddish tan coat. You have seen where he started, from living on a chain, to quickly becoming a superstar! He has been placed with an expert trainer in the Paws Behind Bars Training Program and this pup has made an amazing turnaround. From not understanding how to relate appropriately to humans or other dogs, to rockin' the social scene! It's been a process! He has needed the four months in training to learn to adapt to human interaction and also how to play and socialize nicely and appropriately with other canines. Kipper was used to reacting in his old environment which is what you do on the end of a chain as watching movement is the only form of stimulation you have! He's now a star student and has learned to "sit", "stay", "down", "come", "touch", "place" and "leave it." He is also potty trained, crate trained, can "shake", "wait", "sit pretty", "fetch" and MORE! Kipper will do best with a family that will continue his training as he has only been in school for four months to learn a lifetime of good manners, commands, and socialization. It's time for this wonderful companion to find his beautiful future with a committed, loving family! Share this post and help us spread the word for this amazing canine!

Titus - Paws Behind Bars

Siberian Husky

Male, 4 yrs 2 mos

Louisville, KY

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

TITUS came into rescue from a hoarding case. He was somewhat under-socialized and had never been off of the owner's property. At 4 years old and around 65 pounds, this boy is like a blossoming flower! He is absorbing everything his dog trainer in the Paws Behind Bars Prison Training Program is teaching him and is morphing into a friendly, playful, wonderful companion dog! He is good with other dogs of all sizes and is house trained / potty trained and knows obedience commands such as "down, touch, sit, wait" and more! He would love a fenced in yard where he can run and play and an owner that knows the Husky breed would be helpful! He has not been destructive in our care like some in this breed can be. Titus is a beautiful boy and deserves a family that will give him attention and take him on walks / hikes. Yes he loves the snow and has had a good time this winter since there has been plenty of it! If you think you might be a good match for Titus, please contact us at email - blueridgerescue@aol.com

Louisville, KY

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Felix sometimes thinks he's a cat! This tiny tot only weighs around four pounds dripping wet but he is adventurous and likes to make sure he has the best observation lookouts! His previous life was not easy and his young owner who bounced around living with friends left one evening and never came back, abandoning little Felix. The home Felix was staying in then reached out for help because they couldn't keep him. Blue Ridge has given this little fella his full vetting and rehab and it's now time to find the perfect family for his Furever Home! Felix was in rough shape but he's blossoming nicely. He was not cared for appropriately with his first owner so nervous or anxious people also make him nervous. Currently we estimate him at around 2 years of age. He is a fella that will be most comfortable in a home with loving adults whom he can trust and bond with! He is a super lovely dog for the right fit human(s)! Once you're in his circle, he's a sweetheart! He has a unique feature which gives him charm! He's got long legs but was blessed with a mohawk running down his back. His beautiful white coat with tan spots is topped off with a shaggy bit of fur which you can really see fluffed up after a bath! It's time for this precious boy to feel safe and loved, let's make that happen for him! To add this peanut to your family, simply email us for an application! Email: blueridgerescue@aol.com

Story

Hi friends, it's me, Callie, the female Hound/Beagle mix, here to steal your heart and become your new best friend. I'm a bubbly, happy-go-lucky kind of gal who's always wagging my tail and looking on the bright side of life. I'm only 1 1/2 years old so still just a young whippersnapper 40 pound puppy! Let me tell you my story. I was wandering the hills of Tennessee when I was only five months old, taking in the fresh air and exploring the great outdoors, when I was found and taken in by a wonderful rescue organization, Blue Ridge Rescue! I had the good temperament of enjoying being around other dogs, good with cats and even children, so Blue Ridge Rescue signed me up for the Paws Behind Bars Prison Training Program! It was a little scary in there with all those people, lots of loud noises and jangly things so it kinda stressed me out a little! The super folks at Blue Ridge realized it was a little more than my sweet personality could muster so I went off to Dog House Behavioral and Obedience Training LLC where I finished off my training and now, I'm a pro at sitting, staying, coming when called, and even doing my business outside like a true lady. I'm always eager to please, and I just love showing off my good and happy manners. I have learned a lot of obedience and life skills with my trainer friend, Mr. Hall, but I want to tell you about my playful side! I just adore playing tug-of-war with toys, especially when it's with my furry friends, and I love taking a dip in the swimming pool. I don't jump in, I just like wading on the step, like it's the kiddie pool! :) I get along with other dogs, but I'm also happy to be the apple of your eye and have all your love to myself. I'm a love bug at heart, always wanting to be by your side, giving you cuddles and covering you in kisses. I may start off on the shy side, but once I know you're my friend, we are absolute best buds for life! I have been in rescue too long! I would really like a family all my own! I know, Kentucky has so many Hound type dogs we get overlooked all the time, but give me a chance - I will be your best friend for all time!
