Story
Even though his name suggests royalty, King is a pretty down to earth guy. He only asks for a soft spot to lay his head, a yard to zoom in, and a family to love him. This 2 year old Retriever mix came to the Kentucky Humane Society when his owner could no longer care for him. It took a bit for King to trust all these new people but once he warmed up we could see his silly personality. King loves to do zoomies in the yard and will happily entertain himself with all the smells. He will lean against you for pets and almost wiggle himself in half. King hasn't experienced living with dogs or cats, so we don't know how he will do. We encourage you to bring your pup for a meet and greet if you think King is the dog for you. King appears potty trained and loves going on car rides to the drive-thru. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.

Story
Hi, I'm Oliver! I came to KHS in pretty "ruff" shape and it took me some time to get back on my feet. We learned that I'm diabetic, but that's manageable now thanks to the amazing KHS vet team. Since coming to KHS, I've learned that I really like the company of other animals. I've gotten along well with cats and dogs, and would love to meet any potential four-legged-siblings prior to adoption. I've never met those "kid" things, but I've heard they're super fun and I wouldn't be opposed to meeting them, either!More than anything, I LOVE hanging out with my humans. Whether we're soaking up the sun or relaxing in the AC, I'll happily join you. I'm really excited to learn more about being a "normal" dog! Since I'm only a year old, I'm hoping my future family will take the time to teach me the basics. I'm eager to learn and just need a little bit of guidance! You can apply to meet and adopt Oliver using the following link: www.kyhumane.org/dog-app

Story
Vance is a Golden/Pyrenees mix and he is just a beautiful boy who desperately needs a dog-savvy and experienced foster home!! He will curl up on your lap and jump on your bed if you let him. He loves 'his people', which right now is the kennel staff and volunteers.    You won't have to worry about squirrels or chipmunks in your yard  as he'll chase them off for sure!  He definitely needs a dog experienced, adult household, with no kids under 18, and an above ground fenced yard (no apartments or condo type home). Vance is not a real social dog as he likes to be at home with his people! Can anyone take this sweet boy out of the kennel? Any family who is interested in Vance, and has been approved to meet him, MUST still be approved by his trainer. He likes smaller dogs but he is not wild about larger dogs and no cats. This sweet boy likes walks around the park and walks fine on leash. While he was out and about at the kennel, he wanted lots of loving in the office!!! And... Vance Loves fetching toys!We are still learning about this cutie, but if you would like to meet him and get him out of the kennel, please contact GRRAND ASAP! ##947055##

  This sweet girl is a lover and is looking for a dog-savvy, adult only couple or single person to love her back! She will require a home with an above ground physical fenced yard!!!   GRRAND will work with her adoptive home to help transition her.  Millie would love an active person who will take her to doggie daycare to get her energy out or good runs/walks. She would do fine as an only dog or with a stable, submissive dog, but no cats. She is also crate-trained.  Millie has a waited too long for her happy forever, and with just the right person, you can live a happy great life together! Can you be the one she deserves?   ##870068##

Story
This beautiful girl is Faith... Faith was one of the breeder dogs that was rescued from horrid conditions from the Amish puppy mill rescue in early Dec. Faith & Ivy are a bonded pair and as of now (mid-March 2024) we anticipate that they may be ready to consider being transitioned to the right adoptive family, possibly by June. **** Faith continues to be extremely unsocialized at this time, and the type of home she is needing is not just your typical home. There are quite a few MUST HAVES for her and they are:  MUST have someone who is experienced in helping unsocialized breeder dogs transition from the kennel situation to a home. This is NOT just for anyone, as the time and patience put into helping to rehabilitate these dogs is huge. She also MUST have another stable dog, MUST have a secure above ground fenced yard with direct access to the yard from the house, MUST have someone home more than the typical working family, and a home with NO kids under the age of 16. We are still learning about Faith but we do know she is very fearful of everything right now. You can tell she WANTS to get love but she is very hesitant and when one of the volunteers was able to pet her (once), she laid down in fear. Faith has only known the small confines of a kennel, so this new world she has been introduced to is very scary for her. She finds comfort in other dogs as when she is in the play area with volunteers, she was very indifferent and not so interested in people, but when she is outside with some other dogs, she will get excited and bounce around some.  We know we need to get her out of the kennel so she can begin her new journey in life. She needs to find a forever family or foster family that is excited to show her what love and compassion are about. Faith is going to take time... things can not be rushed for her. As said above, she is going to need to have a stable dog living in the home so they can show her the ropes and help build her confidence in everything, especially people. Faith is considered a flight risk, and will need a home with a secure above ground fenced yard with direct access to the yard from the home. We do not know how she will be with kids and or chaos, so a home with no kids under the age of 16 is best and we do not know how she is with cats at this time.  If you want to be the one to show Faith what life as a beloved family member is all about, please fill out an application: grrand.org/foster grrand.org/adopt GRRAND dogs are looking for their foster or adoptive homes in our current service area of Greater Louisville, Greater Lexington, or Greater Cincinnati and Dayton. We’re sorry we can’t make exceptions to this area at this time.   ##1598942##
