Story
SWEET AS PIE! Finn is a super cute and very unique Golden Retriever/American Bulldog. He has an unusual brindle and black coat that we have never seen before. He is a one year old puppy who is full of fun. This sweet boy loves his brother and plays with him all day long. Finn is a gentle boy who enjoys being held and getting cuddles. He is very affectionate and longs for his furever home to have someone to give him the love and attention he deserves. Right now he lives on a farm and is used to being around horses, ducks and chickens. He learned very quickly how to sit and is now learning to walk on a leash. He would do well in a home with other dogs and older children. This little boy is already neutered and has a microchip. His adoption includes a collar and training leash as well as two training classes with our trainer for you to learn good leash skills, how to interact with other dogs and people, and how to be a good leader. Our rescue provides life time support for you. We are available by phone or in person to assist with pet parenting. Call or email us to meet this sweet boy. Ph: 502-509-9886 info@arielbullyrescue.com

Story
We are looking to re-home our Tootsie Pop. Our senior dog was her best friend and the past 3.5 years since we lost her have been extremely difficult on Tootsie. Now with two high-energy toddlers along with our full-time jobs in healthcare requiring frequent travel and long days away from our home, Tootsie spends more time in her crate than our hearts can handle any longer. We know she would do best in a home with another dog to keep her company again and we just cannot take on that responsibility at this time in our lives. So if you are perhaps looking for a companion for your dog(s), have at least a little outdoor space or ability to take her on walks, and TIME to give her the love and attention she so desperately needs, please consider bringing Tootsie into your family. She is 6.5 years old, crate trained, walks ok-ish on a leash (prefers to run wild!), loves people and other dogs and makes a great snuggle buddy. Please help us give her the life she deserves.

Story
Hi, my name is Daisy Mae & I'm the goodest girl. Or I was the goodest girl until I got really sad. See, I had a very special family, a brave hooman dad who was a marine, a hooman mom who did everything for her family, & a hooman brother with special needs. Life was perfect. Until my dad got really sick & went to heaven. Then my mom had to sell our country home for a home that she could afford near my brother's special school. The only place she could find didn't allow me to stay. So she tried to find other places that I could stay. I went from one home to the next but all I wanted was to go back to our same home in the country. Once my mom even found me back on the porch of our old country home. My new foster parents have taught me all kinds of new tricks like heel, shake, and down. I love learning. But I'd really love a forever home with kids that like to read me stories but no other cats or dogs. If I could I'd be the goodest girl again. Just like my brave dad always said
