Meet Penelope Penelope is a sweet foxhound/collie mix about a year old and roughly 55 lbs. She requires a secure fence and any walk should be on a leash.

Story
FEMALE ADOPTER ONLY*** Buddy is a lover.....if you are a female he will give you his heart.....Want a fellow that's housetrained? He's got it covered. This fellow can snuggle up to you and make you really smile.... He's not pushy about it....He just has a great way with the ladies... He's also voice trained....so when you talk to him, its as though he really understands. Buddy will develop a bond like no other. He's okay being alone for several hours and never tears up anything or soils his surroundings. He is not a barker either....though he does whine some when youre on the other side of the door. He does great with female dogs as companions too ( small like him) but he'd rather not have to negotiate a toy with a male dog....Buddy is gentle and sweet until another dog growls at him, then he will defend himself. He may not be good with other farm animals is his one drawback...he watches them closely through the fence...but right now the roo has a fence between them...so youd never know how it would go....... He's a type of dog that really becomes your soulmate...Want to meet this special fellow? Complete and enter an application,...we will contact you and schedule a meet n greet. https://www.kentuckydachshundrescue.com/adoption-process

Story
Desperately seeking a loving home for this bonded/litter mates female pair. They are 6 years old, born 09/21/2020. Both have been spayed. They are farm/outdoor dogs. They were an in-laws, and due to a death in the family, followed by divorce and relocating within the month, we are needing a home for these sweet girls. Good with kids and other dogs. They haven't been around many cats that I'm aware of, but I might watch them at first. Please help find a home for them! They deserve better.

Story
Waylon is a 3ish year old, 60ish-pound professional best friend with a specialty in making himself at home wherever he goes. This social guy genuinely seems to believe that everyone is his friend. Calm dogs? Friends. Hyper dogs? Friends. Cats? Friends. Kids? Friends. Adults? Obviously friends. Waylon is equal-opportunity when it comes to making new buddies. Hes also got a wonderfully goofy personality. When Waylon decides its time to come see you, he doesnt simply walk overhe gallops. And when the zoomies hit, youd better stand back because this big boy has places to be and absolutely no brakes. Once the excitement wears off, Waylon is perfectly happy to settle in and hang out with his people. He is potty trained and crate trained and even walks well on a leash so hes already got some important household manners mastered. And then theres the sploot. That sploot is spectacular! It may be his greatest asset. See for yourself in the photos! Waylon is the kind of dog who is easy to love: friendly, playful, affectionate, and wonderfully silly. He is hanging with us for a little as we get to know him better but he'll be looking for a forever family soon who will appreciate his big personality, his big heart, and his occasionally questionable decision to attempt to knock you down like a bowling pin during his zoomies! Waylon has completed his veterinary care (neuter, vaccines, microchip). His adoption fee is $250. If you're interested in adopting, please submit an application at savedbyfate.org and we'll be in touch ASAP! A meet with any approved applicant's current pets and entire family will be required prior to starting the 2-week adoption trial period. Please visit our website savedbyfate.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Mia is an 8-year-old Jack Russell Terrier looking for a quiet home where she can relax and be close to her person. She can be a little unsure around strangers at first, but once she trusts you, she wants to stay right by your side. Mia is housebroken, crate trained, and walks pretty well on a leash. She does okay with other dogs and calm cats, but she is not a good fit for a home with children. She can be protective of her person and would do best with someone who understands that she needs a calm environment and a little time to settle in. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who just wants a peaceful home and someone to love, Mia could be a great match.       Estimated DOB:   04/30/2018 Adoption fee: $ 100 (6% KY sales tax included)  We would love to hear from you!

Story
Duke is a wonderful companion dog who has been bounced around various homes in his young life. Because of his past, he can be cautious when meeting new people; however, if you sit quietly, he'll soon be over to put his head in your lap with eyes hopeful and asking, "Will you be my friend?" A stable household without chaos or drama is what Duke desires. In foster care, he lives happily with his work from home foster parents and their friendly big dog. Duke is an excellent office dog and he understands that the doggy door to the backyard is used to go outside to potty. He crates well overnight. He is not a picky eater. He appreciates a good game of stuffed animal fetch or chasing his foster brother around the yard before returning to his office bed for a nap. He enjoys a nice sniff walk and hasn't ever shown signs of reactivity to other dogs, cats, or people while out on his leash. He's not a puller and can rate his speed to yours. When he is unsure of a new situation or new people, he likes to hang back until he's ready to meet and greet. He is not aggressive, just a bit shy of new people. Having a confident foster sibling has worked wonders for Duke in such situations. He gains confidence readily from observing how an extrovert just saunters up to anyone. His bark-o-meter is low, reserved for alerting his family that someone new has entered the property. He is not incessant about it, and quits when his person asks. Duke doesn't seem to have been around many children; however, a calm, mature child who gives him thirty seconds of patience to be introduced will have a furever fan. For this reason, a home with children older than ten years old is recommended at this time. If you allow it, he'd love to be your lap dog or snuggle buddy on the couch during television time. If you're home more than gone, and you have a nice, playful dog in need of a sibling, Duke may be the one for you!
