Fawn

Rat Terrier Vizsla

Female, Adult

Ft. Thomas, KY

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

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 $300.00March 7, 2026, 10:05 pm

Daisy (aka Dukes)

Rat Terrier

Female, Senior

Florence, KY

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Name: Daisy Age: Spunky Senior Weight: 14 lbs Adoption Fee: $250.00 Good with Dogs? Yes, but bossy so she’d be best as an only dog. Good with cats? She can be bossy with them so it’s best she doesn’t live with them. She can be around them safely for short visits. Miss Daisy aka Daisy Dukes or Dukes, is looking for her forever home. She’s a spunky senior Rat Terrier with lots of life and love left to give. Daisy loves people and she’d be a perfect fit for someone who is retired but still active, or someone who works from home, enjoys daily walks and would like to have a companion to join them. If she gets to be a lap dog, even better. In a perfect world, she’ll be showered with all of the attention and not have to share it with other pets. She is crate trained but, in all honesty, she doesn’t love it. Daisy is fine being left loose in the home when no one is there but she’s currently crated in her foster home as she does tend to be a little bossy with the other dogs at times. Daisy likes meeting new people and enjoys car rides, so if you like to go camping or travel around in an RV, she’d be a great companion for you. While she is an older girl, you wouldn’t know it by the way she acts. She’s had a senior blood panel done (she looks great!), a dental, she’s spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested and micro chipped. Don’t miss out on a wonderful new companion and get your applications in now. Adoption Process: Step 1: Complete a "no obligation" application located on our website at pawprintsnky.com under the applications tab. Step 2: PawPrints will review the application, verifying Vet and personal references as well as landlord requirements/restrictions (if applicable) Step 3: IF your application is approved, we will call you to schedule a meet and greet for you to meet the pet. &#226&#128&#139Step 4: If the meet and greet goes well, we will schedule the home visit.

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🎯🐾 Meet Hank — Brains, Bounce, and a Whole Lotta Heart 🐾🎯 Male • 1 Year Old • 23 lbs • Certified Good Boy (with honors) If you’ve ever dreamed of a dog who is equal parts athlete, genius, and total sweetheart, Hank is here to make that dream a reality. At just 1 year old and 23 pounds, Hank is the perfect compact package of energy, intelligence, and devotion. He’s the kind of pup who doesn’t just notice his person — he studies you like you’re the most important thing in the world (because to him, you are). This boy has focus for days. Call his name? He’s locked in. Have a treat? Oh, he’s really locked in. Say “let’s do something fun”? He’s already three steps ahead of you and ready to go. Hank would absolutely shine in: • Agility (future superstar alert 🚨) • Obedience training • Trick learning (he’s the overachiever type) • Or honestly… just being your everyday “let’s do life together” partner He’s extremely intelligent and very treat motivated, which makes training not only easy, but actually fun. Hank is the kind of dog who enjoys having a job — even if that job is just being the best companion you’ve ever had. And while he’s got the brains and athleticism, he’s also got the heart to match. Hank is wonderful with: • People (big fan) • Other dogs (instant friendships) • Cats (yes, even them!) He’s social, friendly, and carries that happy, easygoing vibe that makes him a joy to be around. His daily routine would ideally include: • Exercise to burn off that athletic energy • Mental stimulation (puzzle toys, training, learning new things) • Quality time with his favorite human (his favorite part) And after all that? He’s more than happy to settle in and enjoy some well-earned downtime — preferably somewhere near you. Hank isn’t just a dog — he’s that once-in-a-lifetime kind of companion who will learn with you, grow with you, and love you with his whole heart. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Hank show you just how amazing life can be with the right partner by your side. 🐾💛

Story

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🌟🐾 Meet Astrid — CEO of Puppy Shenanigans & Professional Explorer 🐾🌟 Female • 3 Months Old • Future Perfect Medium Size If you’ve been looking for a happy, curious, tail-wagging bundle of puppy joy, allow us to introduce Astrid — a 3-month-old adventurer who wakes up every day convinced the world was created specifically for fun, snacks, and exploring absolutely everything. Astrid is a typical loving-life puppy, which means her daily schedule looks something like this: • Wake up • Zoom around like she just drank three espressos • Investigate mysterious leaves • Wrestle with dog friends • Practice being adorable • Take a dramatic nap • Repeat She’s very social, great with other dogs, and absolutely loves having playmates. If there’s another dog around willing to run, wrestle, or engage in competitive zoomies, Astrid is 100% on board. She also loves being outside exploring the big ole world — sniffing trails, investigating sticks, chasing leaves, and generally making sure no blade of grass goes unexamined. Hiking buddy in training? Definitely. Astrid loves people too, but it’s only fair to give you the official puppy disclaimer: she still comes equipped with those sharp little puppy nails and tiny shark teeth. Not malicious — just enthusiastic. The good news is she’ll grow out of that stage with a little guidance and training. Cats are currently unknown, but with her young age and proper introductions, she should adapt just fine. Astrid would be happiest with a family that enjoys being active and including their dog in the fun — walks, hiking, camping trips, backyard adventures, neighborhood strolls, and of course couch cuddles once the day’s exploring is done. Because life with Astrid will include: • Daily laughter • Random zoomies • Toy explosions • Surprise puppy kisses • And a whole lot of love In other words… exactly what puppyhood should be. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Astrid bring the adventures, the laughs, and the puppy chaos (the cute kind) into your life. 🐶💛
