Story

Bucky is an approximately 7-year-old male Lab/Pitt mix with separation anxiety. He was initially my 70-year-old mom's dog and was a great companion, but we had to place her in a memory care facility two years ago. My late 70's mother-in-law took over his care at that point but unexpectedly passed away last year. Bucky is an extremely loving dog and gets along well with our dog and other dogs, but he cannot be left alone in our home. He shows severe signs of anxiety with slobbering, panting and pacing and chewing up things. He is also good with children of all ages, and we’ve never had any issues with aggression or anything like that. Unfortunately, we cannot keep him because our family is active, and we have to leave the house often. He does not like cats and any other small creatures. He has the potential to be an amazing companion. We are willing to send him to whoever can help foster him, with a donation for his care, as well.

Story

My son got her as a pup while I was gone on vacation. He thought he could take care of her and found out it was to much with everything he has going on. I changed jobs and am gone for 10-13 hours a day and don't have a fenced in yard to let her run. Leia will be 15 months old on the 8th of August. She's the sweetest girl. Loves to cuddle and play a lot. She finds socks everywhere. Lol. Looking for a family that has time to give her lots of love and attention. She likes to go for walks and loves the dog park. Running with other dogs. She got along great with our cat until she passed over the rainbow bridge. I hate to get rid of her, but it's in her best interest that we do.

Story

Cooper is an approximately 10-year-old Pekingese looking for a quiet, loving home where he can enjoy his golden years.Cooper’s life hasn’t always been easy. He spent the first few years of his life chained to a carport before being rescued by his previous owner, who gave him the love and security he deserved. Sadly, his owner has since passed away, and now Cooper is searching for another family to love him just as much.He’s a professional couch potato. If you’re looking for a low-key companion who wants nothing more than to relax by your side, Cooper is your guy. Because of his personality, Cooper would do best in a calm, adult only home. He is not good with children and does not do well with highly social or energetic dogs. He prefers a peaceful environment where he can feel safe and comfortable.Cooper does have minor seizures from time to time. They have been evaluated by his vet and are not of any current concern. I’m happy to provide his veterinary records and answer any questions

Duke 5694 D

Miniature Schnauzer Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, Adult

Frankfort, KY

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hi. I'm Duke. I'm an 18-pound schnauzer with a bite record, a muzzle, and absolutely zero interest in your small talk.I do not like strangers. I do not want to meet you. I do not want to smell your hand. I do not care that you "grew up with dogs." I have a muzzle and a file and I am not afraid to use either. If you are not my person, you are a suspicious NPC and I will treat you accordingly. What I like:Other dogs. Love 'em. Dogs get it. Dogs don't try to shake my paw uninvited or make kissy noises at me like I'm some kind of carnival attraction.My muzzle. It's my emotional support hardware. I wear it because I am a gentleman with boundaries and also because I have made mistakes. We do not dwell on the past. We wear PPE and move forward.What I need:An adult-only home with someone who understands that "stranger danger" is not a cute phrase to me, it is a lifestyleA person who will advocate for me in public without apology: "No, you cannot pet him. Yes, he is cute. No, that does not entitle you to his personal space."Another dog would be great. I am a social guy. Just... with dogs. Not you. Yet. Maybe eventually. Probably not.Patience with introductions. I may need some adjustment time with my animal friends. I don't just throw myself into dog friendshipsI am not a canine extrovert. I am a slow-burn romance. Think Pride and Prejudice , not The Bachelor .What I offer:The kind of loyalty that comes from being earned , not given away free to anyone with a treat pouchA built-in social filtermy presence automatically removes people who don't respect consentProof that a bite history is not a death sentence, it's a management planDeep, meaningful friendships with the select few I decide are worthyI am not a dog park dog. I am not a "meet my friends" dog. I am a project with a heart of gold and a mouth of liability. If you want a dog who loves everyone indiscriminately, I am not your guy.But if you want a scruffy grey shadow who will love you fiercely, protect your home enthusiastically, and teach the world that not every dog exists for public consumption? Apply within. No unannounced visitors. Muzzle stays on until further notice. Our adoption fee helps offset the cost of preparing our guests to enter a forever home!
