Meet Gunner Gunner had his training at Camp K-9 at the Kentucky State Reformatory. He is a strong and energetics boy! He needs to be in a home without cats and would do best as the only dog. He has not been tested around children. There is a possibility he could be in a home with older children. If you are interested in meeting Gunner, please fill out an application on the Humane Society of Oldham County website.

Story
Meet The Fabulous Miss B! or Blossom for short. She is a 3 year old, female pittie mix that is a true lady ready to bring love into your home. She is a sweet, well trained young lady that carries herself with grace and style , She is always smiling at life. She is full of kisses and hugs for anyone who will stop and smell the flowers with her. Blossom is a graduate of Paws Behind Bars school of charm, where she earned high honors. She is very well behaved and can travel anywhere with you. Miss B is fine with other dogs as long as they are not bossy. She is a snob about cats and has no room for them. She loves car rides and play time zoomies after which she will walk nicely on a leash. As a blossom in spring,this Blossom is ready to bloom . If interested in adopting, our process begins with submission of our application. Please visit our website at www.adoptmebluegrasspetrescue.com and click on BLOSSOM's picture in "Adoptable Dogs". Additional adoption FAQ's can be found here also. Meets will be set with approved applicants based on our "best family fit" approach. Thank you!

Story
*****IF INTERESTED EMAIL derbycitydogrescue@gmail.com*****Hello, good people! My name is Niko and I am a hunka, hunka, burning love looking for that special someone/family to call my own!I'm roundabout 11 yrs old and as you can see from my pics, I'm a pretty handsome fella and a bit of a ladies man. I really love to snuggle up with you and give out some kisses.I also love a good run around the yard and to play with my ropes, old footballs, and really any kind of fun with tough toys!Now I do like to be the king of my castle, so that I can be the center of your attention and not have to share my toys or love with other animals. I might be able to tolerate a laid back kind of girl, but I'd need some introductions first to be sure.I really like to please my people so learning new tricks and commands is always a fun time for me. I've learned several over the years including sit, stay, paw, and down but I might need a bit of a refresher. I'm a pretty strong guy so a nice harness is a good idea for walks (WHICH I LOVE!).Niko is up to date on shots, neutered, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $200. To apply to adopt Niko, complete our application at www.derbycitydogrescue.org/adoption-application.html

Story
*****IF INTERESTED EMAIL derbycitydogrescue@gmail.com*****What's up party people? Cheeto's the name and fun is my game! The folks round here call me Big Happy because I'm never without my smile and just love EVERYTHING! (well except those other furries, but more on that later).I'm about 10 yrs old and have been through a lot in my life. I've lived on the streets and had some lean times before a nice lady found me and helped me get where I am today.I'm a super fun chick with a love for car rides, walks in the park, and TREATS. Some say I like treats a bit too much, but is there such a thing?I really like to meet new people and make people friends really easily. I even like the small peoples. I'm not too much on the furry friends though - I like to the one getting all the love.So, do you know anyone that is looking for a little slice of heaven like me?Cheeto is house trained, is up to date on shots, spayed, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $200.To apply for Cheeto, complete our application at www.derbycitydogrescue.org/adoption-application.html
