Story
Nico is a Malinois / Mastiff mix that is 8 years of age and around 65 pounds. He is impeccably trained with obedience and commands such as sit, stay, come, place and elevated commands such as "finish," and "peak," along with some basic scent work. He is extremely loyal to his "bonded" person and needs a savvy owner to build that mutual respect. This brindle breed mix is very intelligent and although he has lived with another dog in the past, we recommend his ideal environment be a home where he is an only pet to relax in his retirement years. He is a great companion for walks, lounging in the sunshine in a fenced yard and fulfilling the couch potato roll. He is at the age where he appreciates quieter surroundings. He enjoys human contact with his people. We would love to see him live out retirement days with a person who gives him attention, comfort, the luxury items of a comfy dog bed and lounging time in the backyard sunshine!

Story
Sarge is a 53-pound, easygoing pup with a heart as big as his silly ears. He’s a fun mix of several breeds: one of his brothers completed a DNA test that revealed German Shepherd, Bulldog, Husky, and even Australian Shepherd in the mix! Sarge enjoys spending his days trotting around the yard, then settling in for a good nap, preferably under (or on top of!) our agility equipment. He's a big fan of our lawn chairs! If there’s a comfortable spot with a great view, Sarge will find it. Here at HSOC, Sarge has done extremely well with other dogs. While he’s typically a nonchalant guy, he can get a bit enthusiastic during playtime. Any potential canine siblings would need a meet-and-greet to be sure their play styles are a good match. That said, Sarge would also be perfectly happy as the only dog in the home, soaking up affection from his humans and providing loyal companionship. Sarge has been cat-tested in the office here, but has not been in a home setting with a cat. He has not shown any aggression or fixated behavior with cats here at HSOC, so we believe he would do well in a home with cats. Sarge has been working hard on polishing his manners as he awaits his forever home. He may still need a little guidance with jumping up to say hello, but he responds well to proper correction once you break through the "stubbornness". Multiple trainers have shared that Sarge is a wonderful dog to work with, and we believe he would make a great family companion for a home with children. Every adoption includes a transitional training lesson with dog trainer, Jim Kats, to help Sarge (and his new family) start off on the right paw!

Story
If there’s one thing Rex is going to do, it’s strut his stuff! This handsome old-timer just keeps getting better with age. Rex is an American Pit Bull Terrier who is considered a senior at around 8 years old, but don’t let that number fool you. He’s still full of life, love, and personality. Rex has yet to meet a stranger. He has a wonderful, friendly temperament and enjoys spending time with his human friends. He loves a good snuggle once he's done romping around the yard. When it comes to other dogs, Rex has lived successfully with a canine companion and has shown playful interest in dogs here at HSOC, especially the lady dogs, who he makes sure to show off for. Rex was adopted in 2019 and returned to us in 2025 due to unforeseen circumstances, through no fault of his own. We know that in his younger days, cats were a bit too exciting for him. Any dogs in the household would need to participate in a meet-and-greet with Rex to ensure a good match. Rex is considered special needs due to his age and skin allergies. He currently takes a joint supplement and Apoquel to help manage itching and inflammation, and he will need to continue both after adoption or while in foster care. Rex also has a few benign, wart-like growths that have been examined and are not expected to cause him any medical issues. If you’re looking for a sweet senior who will bring love, light, and plenty of laughter into your home, Rex is ready to meet you. Submit an application with the Humane Society of Oldham County to begin your journey with this wonderful boy.
