Story
Beethoven was born deaf to a litter of ten purebred Australian Cattle Dogs. His brothers and sisters all went to good homes to either be family pets or working dogs. However, because of his special needs, Beethoven stayed with us to be cared for. We already have three other dogs and realize we have stretched ourselves a bit. We want Beethoven to have his best life with someone who can care for him properly. Beethoven has been an outside dog who is crated inside at night. He is incredibly intelligent and sweet. While he can occasionally be ornery, he mostly wants to run and bark at squirrels when he sees them. He has shown food aggression in the past and we have worked with him to correct but we have seen him try to bully other dogs out of the bowl. In his life, Beethoven has interacted with at least five other dogs but never with cats. He does well around children.

Meet Lennox! 🐾 Lennox is a 3-year-old Cattle Dog mix weighing in at 40 pounds. She’s spayed, microchipped, and fully up to date on vaccines and preventatives. This sweet, happy girl is an absolute joy and is sure to bring endless love and laughter to her forever family. A proud graduate of dog training program, Lennox is crate-trained, house-trained, and knows her basic commands. She’s smart, affectionate, and loves to please — especially when she’s getting plenty of love and attention in return! If you want to always be greeted with a smile and a happy wiggle butt when you come home, Lennox is your girl! She would thrive as the only pet in the home, as she prefers not to share her humans with other dogs or cats. A fenced yard would be ideal so she can stretch her legs and get the exercise she loves. Lennox is a people-focused pup who blossoms with structure, guidance, and companionship. If you’re ready to welcome this loyal, loving girl into your life, please start by submitting an adoption application on our website: www.adoptmebluegrasspetrescue.com. You’ll also find helpful adoption FAQs there, and meet-and-greets are arranged for approved applicants.

Story
Meet Barkley! 🐾 Barkley is a handsome Cattle Dog puppy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This smart, curious boy loves to play, explore, and learn new things. Like most cattle dogs, he’s quick on his paws and even quicker with his brain—always ready for an adventure or a fun game. Barkley already knows a few basic commands and is potty trained using a bell system, which shows just how clever and eager to learn he is. He would love a home that enjoys playtime, walks, and helping a puppy continue growing into the amazing companion he’s meant to be. Barkley has been waiting patiently for his forever family, and we can’t understand why! After he’s had his fun, he’s more than happy to settle in for some pets and soak up all the love. He’s ready to trade foster life for a family to call his own. Could Barkley be the missing piece to your family? ❤️🐾 Apply to adopt Barkley today! 👇 https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/AMBG/Dog

Story
Meet Leona! Leona is a 5 year old cattle dog/pitbull mix. Leona needs a home with no cats or small animals and no small children. She is still very much a puppy and loves to play. She loves people and loves to give kisses. She would do best in a fenced in yard. If you would like to make Leona a part of your family, fill out an application at www.barktownrescue.org  LEONA'S ADOPTION FEE IS $170   *Due to Covid 19 restrictions some of our new intakes vet scheduling has been delayed. We will still go ahead and schedule your meet and greet even if all the vetting needed has not been completed. Once vetting is complete the approved adopter will be able to take their dog/cat home to their forever home.The shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at the dog's predominant breed or breed mix. We strongly encourage you to select your new pet by looking at each dog's individual personality and pet qualities rather than relying on a breed label that is only our best guess.    Our adoption fees vary from $150 and up.  All of our dogs are up to date on vaccines, heart worm preventives, and flea/tick medication, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Portions of your adoption fee also help care for the sick and injured animals that we take in.  Thank you for supporting us and considering a rescue dog!    November 4, 2024, 9:21 am

Story
Meet Judge! Judge is a 5 year old Heeler/Pitbull mix (our best guess) Judge wants a job and aims to please, so he needs a firm handler to do training with him. He loves to be with people and walks pretty well on a leash. He does not do well with cats and does okay with dogs, but does seem to be the alpha dog, so slow introductions are a must. Judge also would need a tall panel fence as he can be an escape artist.  If you want to give Judge a forever home, fill out an application at www.barktownrescue.org    JUDGES ADOPTION FEE IS $170The shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs.
