Diamond is a very sweet girl who loves to be cozy & relax around the house. She does great with our two children (ages 13 & 9) as well as our cat. However, she been widely socialized with many other children or cats. That said, our kids have had friends over/sleepovers, & Diamond has never shown any concerning behavior w/ them. She loves attention/affection &will soak up all she can get, enjoys playing fetch outside, chasing the kids around the yard, & playing tug-of-war. She LOVES going on walks & time w/ her people. She knows what bathroom means- goes when told (if she needs to). Doesn’t like nails trimmed at all. If she hears her food bowl being filled, she might pretend to go & run back to the door! She does whine when she needs to go outside or when she just wants some love & attention. Knows basic commands for treats; sit, lay down, stay, &up. Born in May 2018, is spayed, & is currently up to date on shots. Comes w/ her leash/lead, food/water bowl, a food storage tub, & 2 beds.

Story
Omega is a very friendly, happy 13 month old puppy. He is very smart and sweet. Loves people and kids. Is crate trained, will go to his crate as soon as you tell him"go to bed". He is potty trained and is used to living in doors. He loves his belly rubbed and playing fetch and tug of war. He will sit there while you fill his food bowl and not touch it until you say ok. His release command is "leave it". He does not get along with other animals, but is very trainable and that could be worked on. He would do good in a home with active people and kids, with no other pets. He does not bark allot and loves attention. He is very calm for a puppy. Has lived in my house for a year almost with a 6, 10 and 16 year old. Very sweet and am sad to have to get rid of him. He is the best dog I've ever owned.

Story
We found Mickey dumped in a field, estimate age when found 4 months old. He is now going on a year old. All his shots are up to date. His vetenarian is Shepherdsville Animal Clinic. We believe him to have been abused. He is a very sweet dog.Loves to cuddle and is not high energy. We have two other german shpeherds, and we thought 3 would be ok, but it is too much to handle. The first one we got is a working line german shepherd. He requires a lot of our time, going through intense K9 training. Mickey has got out of the yard and been aggressive towards neighbor. He did nip one neighbor on the leg, just a scratch. We then put him in training with the K9 handler to figure out what was causing this. He has been in training for few months, taking him to Lowes, socializing him, working on his obedience, and behavior. He is doing a lot better in public, but will need to be leashed and continued training.

Rufus

Coonhound

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

Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This is Rufus, he is a 1.5 year old American English Coonhound/Mountain Cur mix. He is currently right at 50lbs. We adopted him when he was about 4 months old. We had hoped he would be a companion for our older dog, but their personalities do not align. We would prefer to do a meet and greet with any potential doggy siblings before going to a new home. He is the sweetest boy and loves to snuggle with his humans. He’s extremely intelligent and recently completed a 3-week board and train program. Rufus is house-trained, crate-trained, and can walk in a perfect heel. He would thrive in a home with a big yard or on a farm where he has lots of room to roam.

Story
She started out her life where she was at a home that didn’t want her as we were told. She was left outside in the cold covered in fleas with no water or food. A lovely gentleman rescued her and her siblings and nursed her back to health and then I was able to adopt her. At first things were working out but as we ended up moving and then my father her owner fell and broke his hip right after we moved it became much harder to take care of her and her training. I’m hopping to find a good home for her.
