Story
Tater was born 1/31/2022, he is a Pure bred French Bulldog. He has been a loving addition to our home over the last couple of years but over the last year him and our Blue Heeler have become aggressive with one another. It started as toy aggression and has slowly turned into a random occurrence, we have tried professional training and still have not been able to break it. For this reason he will only be available to homes where he will be the only dog. Now more about Tater, he loves to play! Especially with a large ball he can push around. He knows a few basic commands: sit, leave it and got to bed. He’s a cuddler and will gladly sleep with you if you’ll allow it. He’s been around kids of all ages including toddlers and does fantastic. He is great off leash and returns with commands. Walks are loved if kept short. No rehoming fee but will be selective and will require vet references and home owners only. We want his new home to be his forever home.

Story
Cora is sweet and energetic young girl that has had a tough start to her life. I have been fostering Cora for the last year, and from the research I have done, she has been rehomed a few times. Despite the rough start, she wants all the love, cuddles, and has never met a stranger. Cora is a highly energetic dog that would require an appropriate home that meets her personality. Her ideal home would be single or couple household. I have not exposed her to children, but her previous homes did include young children. Her energy level may be pose a problem for young kids though. A home with yard would be ideal for her energy level, but she is currently in an apartment with me. She really is the sweetest girl thats just looking for her forever family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thanks!

Story
Stromboli s a 7-year-old Pit Bull mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He loves spending time with his people, soaking up attention, and being part of the family. He’s a smart, loyal dog who enjoys snuggling and playing tug-of-war Boli thrives with structure, consistency, and an owner who understands the breed and is committed to continuing his training. He has so much potential to be an amazing companion in the right home. We’re looking for a loving, responsible family or individual that can give Boli the time, patience, and stability he deserves. This decision has been incredibly difficult, and my only goal is to find him a safe, forever home where he can live his best life. If you think Boli might be the perfect addition to your family, I’d love to tell you more about him.

Story
I need to urgently surrender a sweet, resilient Beagle mix named Nelly due to an upcoming international relocation deadline. She was pulled from a severe neglect situation following my sister's passing, where she survived outdoor heat exhaustion, heavy psychological confusion from an electronic collar, and a dog bite to her ear. I have her safe temporarily, but I must secure placement immediately. The Fast Facts: * Vetting: 100% up-to-date on all vaccines (July 15, 2026), flea/tick prevention, .Very healthy. * Temperament: Incredibly friendly with other dogs and kids. Affectionate and sweet despite her past. * Financial Sponsorship: I will personally prepay and provide up to 3 months of her food and treats to cover her initial transition so she costs your rescue nothing upfront. Nelli has been through more than most humans could tolerate, yet she is completely loving and ready for her final home. All veterinary records from Bluegrass Veterinary Clinic are ready to
