Story
Beau was adopted at the Clermont Days Festival in Georgia in September 2024. He will be 3 years old on July 2026. Beau is very loving, loyal, sweet and great with kids (we have 4 kids and always have extra kids visiting). Beau has been indoors since 6 weeks old. He stands by the door when he needs to go out to potty. He loves to be pet, played with, and be around humans. I work from home sometimes and he will lay at my feet. At 9pm Beau is ready for bed. He loves to lay in bed and cuddle at night. Beau does love to run so we got a runner but a fenced in back yard would be ideal for him. He typically does great with clear simple commands. He has been easy to train. The only reason we are rehoming Beau is we travel a lot and it's hard to find someone reliable to come watch him.

Story
Are you looking for the quiet one? The gentle soul in the litter who’s perfectly content observing the chaos instead of causing it? Meet Freddie. Freddie is an 8-week-old Boxer mix with the sweetest, calmest little personality. While his littermates are busy being wild puppies, Freddie is usually off to the side, taking it all in. He’s thoughtful, observant, and prefers to move through the world at his own pace. Don’t mistake his quiet nature for aloofness, though — this boy absolutely loves cuddles. Scoop him up and he melts. He’s happiest curled in your lap or resting in your arms, soaking up soft affection and quiet companionship. If you’re searching for a snuggler, Freddie is your guy. He enjoys gentle play and exploring, but he’s not the over-the-top, nonstop type. He loves a good nap and fully commits to recharge mode between little bursts of puppy energy. Professional napper in the making? We think so. Spay/neuter appointments are already scheduled, and he will be neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped prior to adoption. Located in Mount Vernon, Kentucky.
