Story
Lola is a 3 year old female German shepherd mix with some husky in her. I got Lola from a relative when she was 8 weeks old. Looking for a better home for her, she deserves a loving family or loving individual. She loves walks and can entertain herself with rope. She will let you know when she needs to go outside. She’s good with kids and she likes to play outside, she plays fetch and she knows a few tricks too. She sits, gives paw, gives high fives, lays down and jumps when instructed. But she not always high energy she also enjoys cuddling up on the couch and sleeping. She’s also crate trained and does not have food aggression. I tried to educate her as best I could.

Ej is a great friend and dog potty trained, and very protective, loves kids, and of course loves to play. Unfortunately due to a new property manager they have made it impossible to have a dog and that’s not fair to him and I want him to live a fun and free life with a loving family.

Story
Looking for an excellent family dog and companion, but also a great potential protection dog or competition dog? Look no further than Mia, our 2-year-old German Shepherd/Malanois mix. This breed makes a loyal and devoted companion. They tend to be a little more level headed like the German Shepherd and are not as overly active as the Malinois and they are easier to live with as a house pet. Mia came to us when her owner decided he was too busy to devote to her the time she deserved. She has completed her basic command and manner training in Camp K-9 at the Kentucky State Reformatory. Her inmate handler describes her as having medium energy. She enjoys walks, playtime with dogs and humans, and playing with her own toys. She is house trained and crate trained. She does alert at strangers sometimes. Mia has a clean bill of health and is up to date on vaccines and is on flea/tick and heart worm prevention. She is microchipped. Mia would do best in a home where her owner has experience with dogs of her breed or large dog experience.

Story
QUINCY is a one year old male shepherd/chow mix that weighs 60 lbs. He was picked up with 2 other dogs running along the interstate. The other two were claimed but apparently Quincy had strayed too far from home? He is an active young adult that gets along very well with other dogs. He is crate, leash and house trained. He has also been started on some basic obedience. HIs current energy level is still "puppy" enough he'll need an active home environment and a fenced in yard. He'll do best with a family that has dog experience. He's very smart and eager to please but commands attention. (it's a shepherd thing!) An owner who will continue his obedience training would be ideal. If interested in adopting, our process begins with submission of our application. Please visit our website at www.adoptmebluegrasspetrescue.com and click on Quincy's picture in "Adoptable Dogs". Additional adoption FAQ's can be found here also.

Story
LuLu -Paws Behind Bars Trained Lulu is German Shepherd mix, and as such, she is a smart, athletic, bundle of energy. Although she is a puppy, our Paws Behind Bars prison dog training program is the perfect place to let her grow up. She quickly mastered her obedience training and is able to work on her social skills in all different kinds of situations. LuLu will do best in a home with an owner who has good dog experience, preferably with working breeds. We already see that If LuLu isn't "working, she is looking for puppy mischief. She will need plenty of physical AND mental exercise. At her age, she can be successfully introduced to other dog(s) in the home but we are recommending young male dogs. We do not think she's a good fit for small children or cats. Her home will need a fenced in yard. Most importantly, she needs an owner who will maintain her training and understand her high drive to please and "work". IMPORTANT: Please Keep in mind LuLu is under an year old with a life expectancy of 12 + years. Our guiding principle for adoptions is to seek the right fit for our rescues and the families, including a home that can stay committed to the animal for life. If interested in adopting, our process begins with the submission of OUR online application which can be found at www.adoptmebluegrasspetrescue.com. Additional adoption FAQ's can be found there also.

Story
MISTY is a 2 year old, female german shepherd that weighs 65 lbs. She is smart, affectionate, and active. She was a bundle of energy when she came in and lacking in social skills. Paws Behind Bars had an opening so in she went. Some dogs take longer than others to get to the point they are ready for a family of her own. While she was never aggressive or difficult around people, she had a lot for us to "unpack". First, she's a german shepherd. She needed a job to do and a person to work it with her. Second, she had an enormous amount of energy and she needed exercise. Finally, she needed exposure to sight, smells and sounds until most of it became her new "normal" and not something she needed to run away from. All of this took months, well, maybe almost a year. But Misty has grown up into a lovely young lady! She is ready for a home of her own. Her perfect "fit" with be with an active, adult family (she'd be fine with older children). She must have a fenced yard. She is fine with other dogs as long as it's a younger, easy going male. Most of all, and in order to thrive, she needs an owner who understand the breed. They are incredibly loyal and smart. If interested in adopting, our process begins with submission of our application. Please visit our website at www.adoptmebluegrasspetrescue.com and click on Misty's picture in "Adoptable Dogs". Additional adoption FAQ's can be found here also. Meets will be set with approved applicants based on our "best family fit" approach. Thank you!

Story
He was a stray for 2 years and I got him from an old work friend who needed to rehome him fast. He’s really sweet and loves everyone he’s ever met. He doesn’t bark hardly ever. He has trouble staying calm around other animals, especially cats and other small animals. He does well with other dogs, but he does play aggressive so that could lead to fights. He has anxiety so we’ve found that positive reinforcement works the best. He is crate trained and we haven’t had any issues of him going in the house. He is very trainable and we’ve been able to teach him to sit, lay down, and stay while he’s been with us. The only other thing is that when he gets excited he likes to spin in circles :).

Story
Lilah is a beautiful female Belgian Malinois estimated around 2 years of age. Lilah was a stray therefore we do not know her history or background prior to arrival at the shelter.    Lilah is a very sweet and social girl who has clearly been well socialized in the past. She loves people and is really looking for "her" person to bond with. Lilah is eager to please, wicked smart, and a bit of a trickster. She may present as a unicorn amongst Mals - calm, social, and not toy motivated... but once you get to know her she is a typical chaos queen who wants to be involved in everything that is going on, views 5 miles as a warmup, and happily hunts any woodland creatures that may invade the yard. True to her breed Lilah has energy and prey drive to spare and is seeking a home that understands working breed dogs and is willing to give her appropriate outlets.   Lilah is hit or miss with other dogs as she is a dominate queen-bee with a high drive. Lilah is Intense and few other dogs tolerate her level of wild in the play yard. She does well ignoring other dogs while out and about and has been able to adjust to a small playgroup with supervision. Lilah is NOT safe for a home with cats or other small animals.    Lilah is a smart, loyal, and sweet girl who is looking for a home that will return the dedication she freely gives. If you're the family for Lilah please email us at Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com for an adoption application or visit Tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for our FAQsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 24, 2024, 8:20 pm
