Hank-Adopted

When Hank came into rescue, he had been neglected and abused, as is evident from the scarring on his body.  And still he is the sweetest, most loving and trusting dog I have come across.  Hank absolutely craves attention....you cannot love and pet him enough.  He wants nothing more than to please you!  He is very submissive with the other dogs and for the last two weeks just cowered from them.  Finally, last night, he actually started playing with them for the first time.  Hank is approximately 2 years old, gets along great with other dogs, is crate trained and house trained.  Hank's only Christmas wish is to have a home and family of his very own.

Adopted

Angus-Adopted

Angus is a 2 y.o. boy who was taken by animal control along with his companion (Paisley)from their owner for neglect. Angus is a very nice guy but he does need to work on his manners.  He is crate trained but still needs to work on potty training.  Angus would greatly benefit from a basic obedience class. He has been fully vetted and is ready for adoption.

Taz 1207-Adopted 

Hi, my name is Taz and I am 3 years old and am looking for a new family who will be home more often with me than my other one was. I absolutely LOVE kids and dogs, playing is so much fun! I think it's fun to chase cats around, but I would never hurt those cute little fur balls. I love hanging out with my family and would love to have some kids and dogs to play with again. They said I am up to date on all my shots, I just need to get neutered. I don't quite know what that means but I'm ready for anything! Can I come home with you?

This little beauty just came in and has her vetting complete. She is doing very well in her new home and doesn't even mind the kitty cats. We will post more as we learn about her. Please check back.

Adopted

Harvey Berry-Adopted

Harvey is approximately 9 months old.  He has not had a very good life so far.  He was starved and had been on his own for quite some time before he was rescued.  He also has several scars from trying to defend himself and will need to be an only pet in his new household.  We will post more on Harvey as we learn about him.  Please check back on Mr. Harvey.  Call Sandie: 270-302-7920 for info.

Adopted

Liddy - renamed Libby-Adopted

This is me breaking in my new home and family.  I believe I got very lucky when I came into rescue.

Liddy is a new girl to the rescue program. She is 15 months old and extremely loveable. She gets along well with children of all ages, adults and other dogs. She is a very submissive girl. She was turned into rescue because her owners were moving and rented an apartment with no pets. She was hit by a car in the spring and underwent surgery and was casted for a couple months. The bone fused on the rear leg above the knee and froze the knee in place. Her leg is very stiff and will not bend at the knee. Liddy doesn't think she has an injury, she will run and play her heart out. She just can't do it as fast as the others. She would do best in a home with older children that won't be falling learning to walk and possibly fall on her leg. She would also do best with other dogs that are not quite so rambunctious as a young boxer her age but still quite playfull. She is housetrained and crate trained, very eager to please you and only wants love and some attention. This is one beautiful girl.

Mindy-Adopted

Bo-Adopted

Bo is very sweet....very loving, non-aggressive, crate trained and
seems to be housed trained.  Poor thing, I think he was chained up outside
for sometime...his toe nails were so long that he could barely walk, he
was filthy and had fleas but we got all that taken care of yesterday
morning.  He is a big boy, and we think under a year old.  We will post more as we learn about Bo.

Paisley-Adopted

Hi Kelly,

 

I thought that I'd follow up on our voicemail exchane with an e-mail, just in case you want to post a more updated report on Paisley.  I saw that she made it to the Adoptions page on the website!

 

Paisley has turned out to be one of the best dogs we have ever been blessed to adopt.  She is a constant source of affection and humor and her personality really shines through since we got her just over a month ago.  It seems as if we learn something about her everyday and it's always more happy discoveries.  She is funny and talkative.  When we get home she literally jumps for joy and charges around the yard, leaping over every obstacle, including her hounddog brother.  Paisley quickly got the hang of our doggie routine and now enjoys the pet door and fences yard all day long.  She's in and out all day, depending on whether she feels like sun bathing and barking and chasing rabbits (who are actually on the other side of the fence), or if she prefers to lounge around the house in the leather chair that she shares with her older brother, Tiger. 

 

She is sweet and playful with her two geriatric siblings and we think that her energy will keep them younger for a little while longer.  We go on walks everyday and she gently greets all people and animals, she has not met a stranger.  In fact, we fostered a rescued kitten for a week - we didn't know what to expect from Paisley, because we don't have cats.  She would not let that kitten out of her sight.  She followed him everywhere, licked him, nudged him with her nose, layed next to him and kept constant watch.  Eventually, the little kitten got comfortable and chased and attacked her throughout the house, which she happily accepted.  We have crowned her "the perfect dog".

 

Deb and I are convinced that we struck gold when we connected with you and you were able to match our new sweet baby to our home.  You were right on the money and we could not be happier.

 

Thank you for Paisley. 

 

Best,

 

Maureen

Paisley is a 5 y.o. white female. She and her companion (Ricco) were taken by animal control from their owner for neglect. Paisley was very skinny, infested with fleas, and had severe hair loss when she was rescued by animal control.  She is a wonderful girl, housebroken, crated trained and is very loving.  She does well with all other dogs. She is a quite girl not your normal rowdy boxer type . Would be a great companion for a elderly person, she has wonderful leash manners .....   Doesnt bark at anything ....... She has been fully vetted and is waiting for her new family to apply.

Hoss - Adopted

1-2-08 Update:

5-25-07 UPDATE:  Hoss is housetrained, crate trained and has better manners than expected.  He gets along well with other dogs and likes to play.  He is a very independent fellow and doesn't like to be loved on all the time.  He will come to you when he wants lovin.  He is a very laid back boy and is most happy sitting or laying by you.  Hoss is an all natural boy which includes his natural tail.  He would do best in a home without very young children.

Hoss is 1 of the 4 owner surrenders that was being turned into the shelter. He has been kept outside on a chain and will shortly be learning what it is like to be an inside dog, being part of a family, and getting the love and attention he so deserves. He is 6 months old. We are sure he is not housetrained or crate trained due to his previous circumstances but will soon be learning. We are beginning his vetting and he will be looking for a new home shortly. We would like to find a home that is familiar with housetraining and willing to take him through obedience classes since we are sure he will need them. He may need some patience on gaining good manners.

Adopted

Mork-Adopted

My name is Mork and I came into rescue with my companion Mindy.  We were picked up as strays and the shelter ladies decided to call us Mork and Mindy.  I am about 5 years old and I recently had a tumor the size of a softball removed from my left leg.  I have a scar on my leg and my incision is still healing,  my leg does not bother me when I play or run.  I get along with male and female dogs and would really love to be adopted with Mindy.  We are definitely a bonded pair.  More will be posted as my foster family gets to know me.

Joy-Adopted

7-9-07 UPDATE: I have full use of my leg now that the staples were removed. I am very playful and love to play with the boxer boy in my foster home. I really love all the toys and can't stand it when my foster mom picks them up and puts them back in the basket. I just have to get them out to play some more.

6-25-07 UPDATE:  Now that those staples have been removed, I am using my leg more and more.  I do wear it out running and burning in full boxer mode, but I am not carrying it near like I did.  I may have full recovery or at least it seems that way right now.

I am known as Joy and as my name implies, I am a very happy girl of 1.5 to 2 years old.  I am full of wiggles, love to run and just be next to you.  I do well with children, non-dominate males, but NO CATS PLEASE.  I appear to be housetrained and am very gentle, don't forget I am very loving and sweet also.  I came in from a high kill shelter with staples in my rear left leg that should have been out quite some time ago, but no one took them out.  I think I may have been hit by a car, stapled and taken later to the shelter.  I will sometimes hold my leg up when I am running hard and fast, but with use and some time that may disappear.  I am a very playful girl who LOVES toys.  I can entertain myself for hours with the toys.  I am also very good at not jumping on people.  I am learning to like my crate and will go in to lay down on my own.  I will start learning my obedience commands, but I am very good at listening.

Chlea aka Lola - Adopted

UPDATE 6-12-07:  Chlea is almost through the treatment process for Ehrlichia and will begin her heartworm treatment soon after.  She is one of the nicest girls we have in care.  She is housetrained, very loving and gentle with everyone.  She gets along well with other dogs, cats, and of course children.  How no one came to claim this girl at the shelter is beyond us.  She is just fabulous.

Chlea is a beautiful flashy fawn girl of 2.5 years old.  She came into the shelter ready to deliver her pups and was unclaimed by her previous owners.  She delivered in the shelter a couple days later but due to the stress of the shelter only 4 out of 12 pups made it.  She is a very good mother and is quite happy to have a safe and quiet environment to raise her kids.  Chlea also came in heartworm positive and tested positive for Ehrlichia (tick born disease).  She will have to wait for treatment until the pups are done nursing, then she will start an appoximate 6 weeks of anitibiotics to treat the Ehrlichia, then the Heartworm treatment and will be spayed after these two treatments are complete.  She is fully housetrained, has wonderful manners, is very laid back and walks great on lead.  She gets along very well with other dogs and loves being at your side.  She is an absolutely wonderful girl.

Roxy-Adopted

8-27-07 Update from foster mom: She is crate trained, walks great on a lead, housed trained , but when she alerts you to go out....take her out, since she is still young, she cannot hold it as well as the older dogs.  She loves playing with both males and females dogs.  We have had some food aggression issues that we are working on and she is improving.  She is a very sweet and loving little girls and likes lots of attention. 

 Roxy is new to the program and we are learning all about her. She is a sweetheart and loves attention. She is a beautiful little flashy girl with an endearing face of about  1 year old. We will be posting more as she learns.

 Kadie is a purebred brindle girl of about 2 or less. We think this may be her first litter. She is displaying that she is already housetrained, very sweet and gentle little girl. She loves your attention. She also does well with the kitties and other dogs. We are starting her vetting and she will be spayed as soon as she looses her milk and stops reproducing. She will be one gorgeous girl before long given a little time, patience and love. She needs a little TLC.
