Cesar

Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Male, Young

Franklin, KY

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Meet Cesar! Brains? Check. Personality? Double check. Impulse control? …we’re working on it. Cesar is a smart, athletic guy who’s basically the canine version of that kid in class who finished the test early and then started a small fire out of boredom. This boy has smarts AND energy. Cesar believes chew toys are a suggestion, not a rule—why chew one toy when you can chew everything? He’s got a doggy door and uses it like a VIP pass to bring everything outside. And yes, he’s been known to treat the neighborhood like his personal parkour course if the gate isn’t Fort Knox secure. Cesar would thrive with an active, patient human [with a good sense of humor] who can give him structure, exercise, and plenty of mental stimulation!! If you love a dog with spirit and smarts, Poindexter might just be your perfect match!

Gator

Pit Bull Terrier Australian Shepherd

Male, 5 mos

Franklin, KY

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Gator came to us from a less than desirable situation. He is a blind pup with so much love to give. He is currently in a foster home with big sis Mia. She is a German Shepherd that has shown this sweet puppy the ropes. We are going to require at least one other dog in the household that he can bond with. He loves others dogs. He does not let his disability get in his way at all. Although he’s not the most fond of being crated right now, that’s probably something you could work towards if wanted. He is fully vetted and is started on flea/tick/HW preventative. Gator is a rambunctious puppy that absolutely loves life and loves love. Are you ready to give him a chance?

Rajah

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 3 yrs 1 mo

Franklin, KY

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Rajah was sadly found dumped at the local park, but despite his rough start, he’s already showing what a sweet boy he is to the shelter staff. Still new to the shelter environment, he’s timid and scared, so we’re taking things slow and letting his personality shine through at his own pace. While it’s too soon to say for sure how he does with other dogs, he has been calm and non-reactive when passing kennels and when other dogs are nearby in the play yard. He’s had only a few overnight accidents suggesting he may already be house-trained. Overnight accidents are very understandable since shelter dogs are unattended in their kennels for long stretches—much longer than they would be in a home with regular potty breaks. With patience, kindness, and a loving home, this boy has so much potential! Rajah’s just looking for the fresh start he deserves!

Chloe

Australian Shepherd Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 5 yrs 1 mo

Franklin, KY

Size

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

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Chloe hasn’t stopped smiling since the day she was rescued off the streets! She was brought to safety just in time, the night the polar vortex rolled in and temps dropped to the 20s. Estimated to be around 5 years old (her energy and joy suggest she’s much younger at heart!), Chloe is a 45 lb sweetheart who believes she was born to be a lap dog. It takes her a minute to warm up to new people, but once she does… her favorite place in the world? Curled up safely in your lap. Add a few belly rubs, and you’ve just made her day! Chloe is new to us, so we’re still getting to know her, but she definitely knows how to work the camera and steal your heart We think Chloe would do best in a home without small children, but if you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate, snuggle buddy who’s all about laps, Chloe’s your girl!

Riley

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Female, Adult

Franklin, KY

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Riley is a sweet and cuddly LOVEBUG! Riley and Ozzie have been through so much together - found as strays, waited five long months in the shelter, and finally got their happily ever after - adopted together. But now, through no fault of their own, they are back. Their family says Ozzie & Riley were AMAZING— loving, house-trained, and wonderful with their 3 young kids. Riley isn’t a fan of cats, but both dogs are otherwise amazing companions and so full of love to give. We’d love to see them adopted together, but if that’s not possible, we believe they could adjust separately with the right families.
