Story
He is 5 years old. He is with a foster that desperately need to rehome him. He was with a man who raised him since a puppy but became homeless and could not care for him anylonger. He is the sweetest XL Bully I have ever met. He is okay with dogs but needs a meet and greet. Great with kids. He has been with his foster almost 3 months and needs a loving home. Willing to pay for vaccines and nuetur if we find him the right home!

Story
Mateo is approximately 4 years old. He came to us for board and train in April 2025. He then went back to his owner and became a farm dog. He lived in the barn and was good around the livestock. The owner decided he did not have enough for the dog to do, so he asked for our help to rehome him. Mateo is trained in basic obedience and is remote collar trained if you choose to use one. He is kennel trained and house broken. He is a high energy GSD and needs a good amount of work. He will be a great dog for someone who has the time to put in. He has been around cats and other dogs with no issues, but would prefer a single dog home. Because of his energy, we are not keen on him going to a house with young children. We are offering free lessons to his adopter until the relationship is established.

Story
Hi there! I’m Oakley and I’m ready to find my perfect forever home! I may be the perfect specimen, if I do say so myself. I’m an adult dog, so I’m past the puppy-crazies but I am still plenty active! I love to go on walks and hang out with my favorite people (well, that’s really any people, of any size!) At the end of the day though, I love to cuddle up on the couch and just rest. I would prefer to be the only dog in the home, so I can absolutely soak up your affection. My other favorite thing is…you guessed it! Snacks! I love a good treat, soft treat, crunchy treat, longer lasting-doesn’t matter to me! Could I be the one to complete your family? Give my friends at the Adoption Center a call at 859-873-5491 to find out more about me or to schedule an appointment to meet me!

Doberman Pinscher Poodle (Standard)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Hi there! I'm Isles, a young, sleek, and super-smart Doberman Doodle mix, and I am officially on the hunt for my forever human. I’ll go ahead and address the elephant in the room; I am the proud masterpiece of an accidental litter! My parents didn’t mean to create a trend-setting designer breed but hey, who am I to question destiny? Thanks to that little mix-up, you get the sleek athleticism and fierce loyalty of a Doberman combined with the brilliant brains and low-shedding coat of a Poodle. Basically, I’m a custom-built designer dog, minus the boutique price tag! I am looking for a family or human who loves a dog with a big personality and a bigger heart. A secure yard to stretch my long legs would be amazing, along with someone who loves interactive play and brain games as much as I do. In return, I promise endless snuggles, zero personal space respected (in the best way possible), and a lifetime of devotion. If I sound like the dog you've been searching for go ahead and set up an appointment to meet me! I can't wait!

Story
I’m Myla, a tiny Pyrenees mix baby with the softest brown coat and a little black mask that makes me look like I’m always ready for an adventure. I’m spunky, playful, and absolutely adore tumbling around with my littermates, but deep down I’m dreaming of a forever family who will help me grow into my best, most confident self. I’ve got all the sweetness in the world packed into my small puppy body, and I’m so ready for a home filled with love, training, and all the cuddles I can soak up. If you could be the person for me, give my friends at the Adoption Center a call at 859-873-5491 to find out more about me or to schedule an appointment to meet me!
