Story
Hi! I'm Jovie, I'm a 3 year old Greek hare hound. My birthday is April 22. I love cuddling and chewing bones. Belly rubs are my absolute favorite thing in the whole world! I get very attached to my person and would love to spend every second of the day by their side. I'm pretty hesitant around people I don't see every day and would rather have my own safe space when visitors are over. Children make me especially nervous and I would rather not have to interact with them. I have trouble making friends with other dogs, sometimes it works and other times I get overwhelmed and lash out, but I don't mean to. I love every one, I just need more time than others to adjust. I'm super playful and love running forever. I'll accompany you on all your walks as long as it's in a quiet area. I am very talkative and will serenade you in the mornings with the screams of my people. My favorite way to show you what I want is by dragging your arm or throwing my empty bowl. I can't wait to meet you! :D

He loves to ride in the car!! He needs a 1 owner home. Christian would be a great dog for a long haul truck driver or a retired person and no children in the home.

Story
Taki has seen and done so much in his short life. He’s a sweet, spunky, quirky boy who loves lap sitting, toys and ice. He rides perfectly in his carrier on car rides and he sleeps all night quietly in his crate. He is housebroken if taken out on a consistent schedule, but will also use a pee pad in an emergency as his foster sister uses them. He spends weekends at the lake and enjoys walkabouts, chewing sticks and is starting to enjoy his golf cart rides. Recently neutered he wore his surgery suit like a champ, but never slowed down. He gets along with other dogs, large and small. He would enjoy an active family, possibly older kids that can play to burn some energy. We know his forever family is out there searching for him! Taki’s adoption fee is $250.00 (plus 6% KY sales tax)
