Story
This is Tucker. He will be 3 years old in the summer. I originally adopted him from a breeder in KY when he was around 12 weeks old. He is a very laid back, lazy husky. He can be dramatic which is quite entertaining. Due to my busy schedule and household changes I am unable to provide him the love and attention he deserves. Preferably looking for someone who has a large yard he can run in. He loves other dogs and is very playful. He was raised Around another dog and cats. I love him, it hurts to let go but I know he deserves better! He will come with his crate, food bowls, bag of food( he’s a picky eater) he is currently eating Kibble N Bits., dog beds.

Story
This is Sybil. She is a very sweet and cuddly companion. She is a great family dog and needs a loving home. She is amazing with kids. She requires a lot of attention and I unfortunately am not able to accommodate her needs. She was dumped on me by someone I was dog sitting for and she deserves more than what I can give her. She is crate trained and potty trained as well. She loves to play and hangout on the couch with you while you relax for the night. If she is left alone for long periods of time she gets anxious. She needs someone that can be with her regular hours of the day. If you are interested please contact me!

Bluey

Australian Cattle Dog Jack Russell Terrier

Male, Young
Ashland, KY
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Hey everyone! This is Bluey! He’s a blue heeler and jack Russel terrier mix. Bluey is between 10 months to 1 year and is neutered. He’s very loyal to his person and has so much love to give. He loves playing fetch, belly rubs and snuggling up to his person. Bluey would do best with someone that does not have young kids or other pets and to be with someone active and has time to let him run around and get his energy out. Bluey does need help with training for resource guarding and barking at other dogs/people. He is timid towards new people but I know he’d be great with the right fit.
