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.

Good with kids, Good with dogs,

Story

Rocco is extremely sweet and playful. He also loves to snuggle and sleep! He will be one next month. We have not been able to properly train him fully but he is crate trained. He has been around kids since coming home and is sweet with them, just hyper! We are only looking to rehome him due to our own personal medical issues and lack of time. He deserves so much more and we want to give him a better life. We were unaware of my husbands medical situation and with myself having chronic conditions, he is not getting the attention he deserves/needs.

Izumo

Lancashire Heeler Catahoula Leopard Dog

Female, Adult

Louisville, KY

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Izumo is the sweetest girl! She loves cuddles and pets. She likes to play but also likes to follow you around and just be in the same room as you. She’s very curious and just wants to know what’s going on and be involved. She also likes to watch tv, but nothing too scary as she does get a little scared. She only knows a few commands but is a quick learner and food motivated. She loves treats. She is house and crate trained. She gets along well with other dogs and is always excited to meet new people and pets. She does like to jump and would most likely do better with older kids, but she doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. Unfortunately, we are needing to rehome her as my father’s Parkinson’s has progressed and he is downsizing and is unable to take her with him.

Tootsie

Boxer Mutt

Female, Adult

Louisville, KY

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We are looking to re-home our Tootsie Pop. Our senior dog was her best friend and the past 3.5 years since we lost her have been extremely difficult on Tootsie. Now with two high-energy toddlers along with our full-time jobs in healthcare requiring frequent travel and long days away from our home, Tootsie spends more time in her crate than our hearts can handle any longer. We know she would do best in a home with another dog to keep her company again and we just cannot take on that responsibility at this time in our lives. So if you are perhaps looking for a companion for your dog(s), have at least a little outdoor space or ability to take her on walks, and TIME to give her the love and attention she so desperately needs, please consider bringing Tootsie into your family. She is 6.5 years old, crate trained, walks ok-ish on a leash (prefers to run wild!), loves people and other dogs and makes a great snuggle buddy. Please help us give her the life she deserves.
