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. Ph: 502-509-9886 info@arielbullyrescue.com

Story
Great 2 year old Rat Terrier /Basenji mix. He is 40lbs full grown but looks smaller. Royce is high energy and sweet. He loves the dog park and gets along with every dog and person there. I just can't devote the time he needs to thrive. He is very smart. Knows his toys by name and knows many commands. Anyone would love to have this dog. He needs room to run and if he would have a brother or sister, that would be ideal. I do need to have him adopted in the next month. I decided to keep him a few months back but my schedule has gotten busier so I have him back up for adoption. He isn't a " Long Timer" as the website states. I am just using the same profile from before.

Story
Loki may be missing an arm due to a difficult past with an owner who didn’t provide the care he needed, but that doesn’t stop him. He’s a spirited, loving dog who keeps up with the others and shows that nothing can hold him back from living life to the fullest Loki is a fun-loving, energetic dog with a big heart and an even bigger curiosity. He absolutely adores people and sees every open door as a new adventure waiting to happen. He’s always eager to explore, play, and share his love. I’m looking for someone who has the time, space, and energy to give Loki the active and affectionate life he deserves.

Story
I adopted Koda from the Animal House Adoption Center 10 years ago, when he was about 1 year old. He is now 11 and has been a loyal companion through so much of my life. He is an Australian Shepherd mix with a sweet, affectionate personality and loves to cuddle and be close to his person. He enjoys walks, follows a daily routine well, and is fully potty trained, though he may mark in new territory at first. He will let you know when he needs to go out and when it’s time to eat. Koda used to do well with kids, but since I had my daughter, his behavior has changed and he has shown aggression toward her, likely due to stress or jealousy. Because of this, he needs a calm home without children or other dogs. He deserves a peaceful environment with someone experienced and patient. He has a history of pancreatitis and eats a vet-recommended diet. He does get anxious and car sick during rides. He would do best with someone who can give him space, stability, and love during his senior years.

Story
I have had my dog since he was a puppy. He is a good dog, very friendly(although has a deep bark but is very nice once he can sniff you), he is very energetic during the day but mellows out if you can get his energy out. He is 6 almost 7 years old. Hasn’t had any health issues. Needs a family that can give him regular attention.
