My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Otis is 100% house trained. Not at all destructive. Knows several verbal commands: sit, lay down, come, "out"-of-the-_____ (whatever room). Loves to fetch toys. Is so easy to please with a short simple car ride. Lives for car rides actually, even if he doesn't get out, he is a good errand buddy. Very well behaved in the car when i run into the gas station. Loves going into dog friendly stores, and is well behaved in stores such as pet stores and Lowes, Tractor&Supply type stores. He is a great communicator. Adapts to routines and follows them perfectly. He gets anxious/upset when on leash in the outdoors when encountering strangers or moving vehicles close by.

More about this rescue

Bluegrass Bully Rescue is a non-profit, 501c3 volunteer-run dog rescue organization serving the Central Kentucky area. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs left homeless for whatever reason – dogs in public shelters where they are at high risk of euthanasia due to pet overpopulation, dogs given up by their owners because of difficult circumstances, and those in danger of abuse or neglect.
We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives.
Animals in our care are spayed or neutered, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist all dogs in distress without regard to age, but our primary focus is “bully breeds.” To the extent our finances allow, dogs in the greatest need take priority.
We are determined to be transparent with finances, always being accountable to use funds for the care of the animals and to sustain the rescue. Our group remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the dog beyond the adoption process.
We strive to work with area shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless pets. We also strive to educate the public regarding our mission and all it entails including knowledge of the breeds under our focus.
