Story
Hi there, I’m Kelce! I’m a medium-sized, adult pup from Kentucky who’s looking for my forever family after my beloved owner passed away. I’ve adjusted quickly to my foster home and am ready to bring love and fun into a new life. I’m fully house-trained, crate-trained (though I don’t really need one), and a fast learner. I already know a couple of commands like “stay,” and I can’t wait to learn more—especially if treats are involved!I’m a playful, curious girl who loves toys, fetch, and tug-of-war. I get along great with other dogs and have the best time chasing and playing in the yard. On walks, I’m a happy explorer who pulls a little because there’s just so much to smell! I also enjoy car rides, hopping in eagerly, though I may pant until I settle in. At home, I love belly rubs, ear scratches, and being close to my people.What makes me special? I’m sweet, resilient, and full of energy and joy. I’ll be your playful companion and loyal friend, always ready for an adventure or a cuddle session. If I sound like the kind of pup you’ve been looking for, let’s meet—I can’t wait to start our journey together!Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
The symbolic meaning behind Amber’s name is “courage and self-confidence.” In ancient history, Amber was thought to bring good luck to warriors in battle. Well this little Amber is filled with tons of courage and self-confidence! She is one of ten puppies in a litter and when her siblings get a bit rambunctious or pushy, she has the courage and self confidence to hold her own ground. This is especially true when it comes time to eat! Although she does not get aggressive with her siblings, nobody comes between Amber and her food. Amber is always there - right in the middle of everything. Whether it’s trying to get Mama’s attention, trying to get a toy, trying to get picked up for a cuddle, or trying to get plenty of food - she is there! Amber’s favorite thing to do is cuddle. She is known at the Adoption Center as a big “Cuddle-bug”. She lives for being picked up and cuddled. When she snuggles with her siblings she constantly shows her affection for them by resting her little head on their necks or backs or by placing her paw somewhere on theirs. Amber inherited her gorgeous coloring and markings from her beautiful Mama (Gingersnap). Her body is golden brown in color with hints of dark brown and black fur mixed in. Amber loves her Mama and while her siblings will jump up on Mama, Amber will sit and patiently wait her turn for attention and kisses from her Mama. Amber is such a sweet girl and would be a perfect addition to a loving home. Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
Brandy may be one of the smaller puppies among her siblings in a litter of ten but she certainly has a big personality! Nothing scares Brandy. She is an explorer. When she is not sleeping, she is busy exploring her surroundings with a wagging tail. She is very social with humans and her siblings. If a human enters the room, she is one of the first to come up to meet them. Brandy lives to be picked up and held but is rather quick to leave if something catches her eye to explore. She loves being with her siblings. Whether it’s running around and chasing one another, playing tug-of-war with toys, or cuddling up in a puppy pile - she is there! She is very independent, knows what she wants, and is determined to get it. For example, she has been observed walking over to a sleeping puppy and literally pushing them out of the way only to steal their napping spot. Brandy inherited her gorgeous coloring and markings from her beautiful Mama (Gingersnap). Her body is golden brown in color with hints of dark brown and black fur mixed in. Her little chest proudly bears a large patch of white fur. Brandy has some unique coloring on her hind paws. Her legs and paws are tan in color and the tips of her paws look like they were dipped in white paint. They are beautiful! Brandy is just a tiny bundle of puppy joy who deserves a furever home filled with lots of love. Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
Christine has such beautiful and unique coloring and markings. Her fluffy body is covered with the softest black and white fur with hints of brown mixed in. While most of her body is covered in black fur, she has a small white patch of fur on her backend, a white tipped tail, four white legs, and four white paws. Her ears and head are black and brown with a white muzzle. Going down the middle of her face is a beautiful white stripe that is sprinkled with small black freckles. She has beautiful eyes and judging by the way she looks at us…we think she knows it. Oh, that face will just melt your heart. Christine is a very independent little girl. She has no problem playing with soft toys on her own or curling up by herself for a little nap. Sometimes she even finds a little hiding spot to sneak away for her little naps. Christine is very social with humans as well as her siblings. When a human walks into the room - she is one of the first puppies to run over to meet them. She is always up for any play time that she can get with humans but most of all, she loves to be picked up and cuddled by humans who will give her a good belly rub. She is also very sociable with her siblings. She lives to run and chase her siblings all around the Adoption Center and okay tug-of-war games with toys that make scrunchy sounds. She is a true athlete when it comes to those tug-of-war games! When she is all tuckered out, her favorite place to sleep is on the floor, next to a human, so she can gently rest her head on their leg and quickly fall asleep. She really is a very sweet girl and deserves a furever home filled with lots of fun times and love for her. Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
The meaning behind Benvolio’s name is “good-will, well-wisher, peacemaker, and bringing people together.” What a perfect name for this little pup because he is nothing but love and peace. Benvolio loves humans! As soon as one walks into a room his tail starts wagging and he heads over to greet them. All Benvolio wants to do is be picked up and held while he sleeps. Benvolio will walk up to a human and literally start climbing up their leg while begging to be picked up. And by begging …we mean “puppy crying”. He uses that soft spoken puppy whimper to get to your heart - and it works! Just look at his face! How could anyone turn him down? Once he is in your arms, he likes to be held like a baby and will sleep in your arms all day - if you let him. Benvolio inherited his gorgeous coloring and markings from his beautiful Mama (Gingersnap). He has a muscular little body that is covered with golden brown fur with hints of dark brown and black fur mixed in. Benvolio is definitely the peacemaker with his siblings. If some of his siblings are getting a little rambunctious, loud, or aggressive with one another, he will walk over and everyone seems to chill. Benvolio is already living up to his name - he is the peacemaker of the litter. He is a gentle soul who deserves to find a furever home that is filled with nothing but love for him.Interested in adopting this dog?
