Story

SWEET AS PIE! Finn is a super cute and very unique Golden Retriever/American Bulldog. He has an unusual brindle and black coat that we have never seen before. He is a one year old puppy who is full of fun. This sweet boy loves his brother and plays with him all day long. Finn is a gentle boy who enjoys being held and getting cuddles. He is very affectionate and longs for his furever home to have someone to give him the love and attention he deserves. Right now he lives on a farm and is used to being around horses, ducks and chickens. He learned very quickly how to sit and is now learning to walk on a leash. He would do well in a home with other dogs and older children. This little boy is already neutered and has a microchip. His adoption includes a collar and training leash as well as two training classes with our trainer for you to learn good leash skills, how to interact with other dogs and people, and how to be a good leader. Our rescue provides life time support for you. We are available by phone or in person to assist with pet parenting. Call or email us to meet this sweet boy.

Story

Hi, my name is Daisy Mae & I'm the goodest girl. Or I was the goodest girl until I got really sad. See, I had a very special family, a brave hooman dad who was a marine, a hooman mom who did everything for her family, & a hooman brother with special needs. Life was perfect. Until my dad got really sick & went to heaven. Then my mom had to sell our country home for a home that she could afford near my brother's special school. The only place she could find didn't allow me to stay. So she tried to find other places that I could stay. I went from one home to the next but all I wanted was to go back to our same home in the country. Once my mom even found me back on the porch of our old country home. My new foster parents have taught me all kinds of new tricks like heel, shake, and down. I love learning. But I'd really love a forever home with kids that like to read me stories but no other cats or dogs. If I could I'd be the goodest girl again. Just like my brave dad always said

Story

I have had my dog since he was a puppy. He is a good dog, very friendly(although has a deep bark but is very nice once he can sniff you), he is very energetic during the day but mellows out if you can get his energy out. He is 6 almost 7 years old. Hasn’t had any health issues. Needs a family that can give him regular attention.

Hound (Unknown Type)

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Zelda is a sweet dog who loves to cuddle up on the couch after a long day. We adopted Zelda from the KY Humane Society as a puppy and she has grown into an active 3 year old pup. She loves a long walk and playing fetch, or just running laps in the backyard. She needs special attention and training on public walks as she is reactive towards other dogs when on a leash. She has been to local dog parks with little issues once off leash. She would do well in a home with older or calm dogs but without small children. Zelda stole our hearts and we want the best for her new home!

Tyberius

American Pit Bull Terrier Bullmastiff

Male, Adult

Louisville, KY

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Tyberius will be 6 years old in May, we got him shortly after getting married. He is extremely energetic and requires a lot of attention. He is very clingy and sometimes can also be needy. He likes to play rough. I have not had an issue with him being aggressive towards kids but, he does play too rough to be around smaller children. I am also unsure how he will behave with other animals. I have another dog that will be 8 years old in August that he is good with for the most part. When we have tried to introduce him to other animals he became aggressive like, not sure if it was because of the way that we did it or not. He was also run over by a car almost 3 years ago, he thankfully just rolled underneath and got scraps and cuts and the car tires didn’t actually run him over. He deals with dandruff and itchy skin as well. We can’t keep him because of continued housing issues with his breed and cost of care is too much. We are praying for a great family that can give him what he needs!
