Story

Moana came into my life after being found alone, pregnant. We took her in and fostered her through APL which is a local shelter. After she had her puppies, they got transported and adopted out. Moana was left behind. After this the rescue was being investigated for illegally dumping dead dogs' bodies. So naturally I reached out to the other rescue I fostered for, LPC. LPC stepped up, got her microchipped, UTD on shots, provided food etc. Last year (2025) I thought I was moving, so as a responsible person I notified the rescue of this and after finding out I wasn't moving I also informed them of this. They then took Moana off their site and noted her as adopted when she was in fact not. Moana is estimated to be around 4 y/o. She is spayed and UTD on shots. She does NOT know a stranger. She has been known to be female dog selective but, in the past, has co-existed with 4 different female dogs. She is cat friendly, potty trained, and crate trained. She is ready to be your couch potato!

Rat Terrier/Vizsla

Female, Adult

Ft. Thomas, KY

Size

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Meet Fawn! Fawn is a sweet and gentle 7–8 year old Vizsla/Rat Terrier mix weighing about 24–25 pounds. This lovely girl has wonderful manners and an affectionate personality that makes her an easy companion to love. Fawn is both house-trained and crate-trained, and she enjoys the simple things in life — a nice walk outside followed by relaxing indoors right by your side. She’s always happy to head out for a stroll, but she’s just as content curling up and keeping you company while you unwind. Her temperament is friendly, calm, and affectionate. Fawn gets along well with other dogs and is naturally gentle, though she won’t let herself be pushed around if another dog gets bossy. She would thrive best in a calm home with adults or teenagers rather than young children. Like many dogs, Fawn can get nervous during storms, so a home where she can feel safe and comforted during thunder and bad weather would be ideal. Fawn could be the perfect companion for a single person or a quiet adult household looking for a loyal, loving dog who thrives on companionship and one-on-one attention. If you're looking for a low-maintenance, sweet, and devoted friend, Fawn may be the perfect match for you. She’s ready to find her forever home and someone to share all of life’s cozy moments with. Fawn's Adoption fee is $300.00May 15, 2026, 9:34 pm

Story

Hi there, I’m Dynasty! I’m a 2-year-old Rat Terrier mix with a gentle heart and lots to say. Seriously—I hope you like conversation, because I’m a pretty talkative girl! 🐾💕I came here as an owner release, so my new friends don’t know much about my past. But that’s okay—I’m focused on my future and finding a family who will love me as much as I’ll love them. And trust me, I have a lot of love to give!I’m a total sweetheart who adores attention. If you’re looking for a dog who will happily chat with you about your day and remind you you’re never alone, I’m your girl. I have a warm, affectionate personality and I’m always ready for pets, snuggles, and, of course, a good “conversation.”Right now, I’m sharing a kennel with another dog and doing well, so I might enjoy having a canine friend. Since my past is a bit of a mystery, my shelter friends aren’t sure how I feel about kids or cats, and they don’t know if I’m house or crate trained yet—but I’m a smart girl and ready to learn!I weigh about 35 pounds, I’m heartworm negative, and I’m up to date on all my vaccinations—basically, I’m healthy and ready to head home with you!All I really want is a forever family who will listen to me, love me, and let me be part of their world. I promise to fill your days with affection, companionship, and plenty of adorable chatter.My adoption fee is $115.50 plus tax.Come meet me—I’ve got so much to tell you! 🐶💕Dogs are $115 and puppies are $110 unless otherwise noted. All cats and kittens are $75.00 unless otherwise noted. Our system automatically updates adoptable websites every two hours. Feel free to email or call us with any questions you may have. Our contact number is 270-887-4175. The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:30-4 and is closed daily for lunch from 12:30-1. Adoptions are done on a first come first serve basis for owner releases. Strays have a wait list.
