Scout is one of a set of twins. They have grown up on 25 acres and love to run and chase squirrels. Most of the time you can find them taking it easy in the backyard. His brother, Chance, is never far away. We would love for them to be adopted together. They are 19 months old and sweet, laid back good-natured dogs just looking for attention.

Story
I adopted this Australian Shephard mix from the shelter. I don't know what he's mixed with. He is neutered has his shots. He's very smart! Eager to please. I've trained him to sit, stay, come, paw, crawl. He goes potty outside and on the pad but isn't fully potty trained only issue is he is HIGHLY energetic. He is not suitable for an apartment. He NEEDS a yard or farm otherwise he ends up chewing everything. I want to find him a loving home he is good with other people and dogs. He has never been around cats so unsure .

Story
This is Akira (uh-keer-uh). We fell in love with her while visiting the shelter one day and immediately added her to our family. We've recently entered a hardship which has forced us to move and we can no longer provide her the space or time she deserves. We were told she's a little over a year old (estimated birthday to be 8/12/2022) and is presumed to be a Greyhound mix. She has beautiful brindle coloring and looks a bit like a tiger. I am also able to provide the vet records the shelter provided to us for your safe keeping. She is currently on heartworm preventative and up to date for shots until around August of 2024. She was spayed 8/17/2023. She is a big sweetheart and enjoys interactive play time and lots of snuggles. She's very energetic and her favorite thing in the world are bones.

Her name is Joy and she is great with kids, cats, and dogs. She is about 4 years old. She will come with toys, crate, and collar. She does know some commands like sit and stay. She does need certain foods and can use a probiotic but we haven't found one that works. She has allergies. We can't afford her anymore since I'm the only income in the home.

Bitsy was found wandering around at a hotel in Lexington. She was immediately scooped up for care. UYR was contacted for care. The dogtor determined that Bitsy was essentially a puppy mill momma. While she was undergoing a puppy hysterectomy, the dogtor discovered that Bitsy had good teeth. She did not need a dental! Great news. Bitsy is estimated to be about 8 years old . She is an energetic pup who loves to cuddle. She wants sole attention. She would love to be an only pup with a loving person or couple. She soaks up attention and will become your shadow. She gets along well with other dogs.
