Story
Daisy Mae is approximately 12 years old. We adopted her from a client of mine who found her in a dumpster in GA. Daisy loves to go on walks. We have 4 kids so she is used to having kids around. We had a large dog and did well with him. She is quiet, chilled and sleeps a lot. We take her tent camping and she does great outdoors. Travels well in the car. We have traveled through multiple state with her and no issues. Daisy loves peanut butter. Unfortunately due to our new schedules, we are looking to re-home to someone who can give her more attention like she deserves.

Story
My bailey is a very protective dog. She's only known her few people snd due to my own health issues, hasn't gotten close to other animals or people. She barks quite a bit and just needs a yard and some attention, and patience. She's really a great dog. She just needs someone who has the ability to work with her again. She knows lots of tricks and just needs someone who helps her get her energy out and loves on her. Retraining is definitely possible. I can't have her in my new apartment and as sad as I am, I have to put our home first. I'd love someone to let me keep in touch and visit or pics if possible. She really just needs some love and patience. I hope we get blessed to find a good home for her.

Story
MapleMaple is AKC registerable. She is a beautiful yellow with red undertones. She is very smart and is 23 weeks old. Her mother was a red fox lab and her father a yellow lab. She knows some basic commands and is the sweetest dog. She does chase cats. Maple is very high energy and needs a home that understands labs. She was originally planned to be my service dog, but I have to give her up due to worsening health issues. She will be a wonderful, wonderful girl for the right person. We have had her since she was 9 weeks old. She is up to date on all shots, including bordetella, and likes going to doggie day care. I am heartbroken that I can’t keep her myself. She’s housebroken and knows how to use a dog door, is a great car rider, and is coming along on her leash skills. She is around 50 pounds now, and will probably be around 80. She’s not much of a barker, and she loves new people. She can be rambunctious with smaller dogs. I want her to have a very good home.

Story
We have had pappy for about a year and adapted our fence In hopes to keep him many times but he continues to escape no matter what we do, he chases cars and I'm worried he will hurt someone or himself. He enjoys ponds and this has become a problem for my neighbor, he likes adult dogs (large) but is territorial to strange dogs which is also a problem In my neighborhood. He loves kids and people and is extremely gentle with all humans

Story
This girl, who we are calling Merry, was found roaming Rockcastle County, Kentucky with Christmas decorations around her neck. She was held through the stray period and nobody came forward to reclaim her. She is currently in boarding and needs a foster home as soon as possible. Without a foster or rescue placement, she was at risk of being placed into the animal shelter where she would more than likely not make it out alive 💔 Merry is very dog friendly, kid friendly, and can coexist with cats. She is not truly cat friendly in the sense of wanting interaction, she is simply scared of them and will keep her distance. We do not know if she is fully potty trained, but she keeps her kennel clean and does fairly well on a leash. She already knows basic commands like sit and even knows how to fetch. She is a one to two year old Labrador mix who has likely had multiple litters in the past. She is spayed, fully up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Located in Mount Vernon, Kentucky. Transport is available. We allow fosters in Kentucky and surrounding states. Foster homes must be willing to transport to vet appointments when needed.
