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
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
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
Gingy is a 2-year-old French Bulldog mix with a resilient spirit, a heart full of love, and a determination that inspires everyone she meets. Her journey began when she was found abandoned in a gas station bathroom and later came to rescue through a transfer. Despite everything she has been through, Gingy remains a happy, friendly girl who loves people and enjoys being part of a family. Gingy has some mobility challenges with her back legs, but she does not let that slow her down. She approaches life with enthusiasm and determination and continues to enjoy her daily routine and time with her people. Because of her mobility needs, she would do best in a one-story home or with a family that is willing and able to help her navigate stairs by carrying her when needed. A securely fenced yard would be ideal, allowing her to safely enjoy the outdoors since leash walks can be more challenging for her. This sweet girl gets along well with other dogs and prefers calm, lower-energy canine companions who match her laid-back personality. She is also great with cats and enjoys sharing her home with other respectful pets. Gingy loves people of all ages and thrives on attention and affection. Due to her physical limitations, she would do best with respectful, animal-savvy children who understand how to interact gently with her. Gingy is crate trained, potty trained, and enjoys having a predictable routine. She recently had a large bladder stone removed and will need to remain on prescription urinary food for life to help maintain her health. Her future family should be committed to continuing her care and ensuring she stays on the diet recommended by her veterinarian. Gingy is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and ready to find a forever home that will appreciate her sweet nature and inspiring resilience. She may have a few special needs, but what she gives back in love, companionship, and gratitude is immeasurable. Located in Richmond, Kentucky.
