Story
Gracie is five years old. She is a pitbull mix. Gracie is spayed and housebroken. She is also micro chipped. Gracie loves her people fiercely and greets you with a wagging tail and wiggling body. Gracie loves to play with toys, chew on bones, play tug with the rope, hunt lizards and sniff the ENTIRE yard. She is not the biggest fan of clothing. She loves to give kisses and snuggle and is happy to sleep on the end of the bed if given the opportunity. She is afraid of loud noises such as fireworks. Her arch nemesis is the vacuum. She would be best suited for a home without cats or small dogs.

Story
Meet Bosa! a sweet and energetic pup we found on the side of the road two years ago close to Ohio State. He is playful, loving, and full of life, but unfortunately, our jobs have become more demanding, and we are unable to give him the time and attention he deserves. Bosa is fantastic with other dogs and would thrive with a canine companion to support him, especially when he is feeling nervous. Though he may take a little time to warm up to new people and environments, once he feels safe, he becomes a loyal and affectionate companion. He is potty trained, knows commands like; “sit”, “wait”, and “paw”, and walks well on a harness. He is incredibly food motivated and loves bones! He is a truly wonderful pup looking for a loving forever home! We have no adoption fee listed because we truly want him to find the best home and family.

Story
This is Red, he is 4, born Jan 11, 2021. We got Red in Greenville, South Carolina from a hunter who was breeding his redbones but not registering them. We've never had to do this before, we've had several large dogs that we've kept until they passed away at almost 14 years old. Because of medical problems we just can't keep him. He doesn't jump on people, he is sweet and loving. All the neighborhood kids come to the fence, pet him and love on him. He plays with our 8 lb dog and our 12-year-old Blue Tick, both female, they are both spayed and he is neutered. He has regularly been around small children with no issues. Anyone who's had a red bone can imagine how hard this is for us, this was my husband's dream dog and we love him so much but he is not getting the love and attention he deserves.

Story
Adopted in Louisville in 2014 at around a year old. He is low energy and gets along okay with cats and dogs, but can be territorial around food. Would do best in a home without other dogs or small kids. Very low maintenance, very well house trained and enjoys laying on the couch or dog bed. Crate trained but sleeps in a room with dog bed. Leash trained but can pull. Would be a great fit for a couple or someone with a fenced outdoor area as he enjoys spending time outside on the deck.

Story
Meet Trenton! This good boy is the whole package! He is a mixed breed, best guess English pointer/boxer mix, and no one breed is evident. He is 2-year-old medium sized (55 pound) love bug who is gentle and adores kids. He is house trained. It does not appear he has been taught basic commands, but he should be a quick learner as he learned the doggy door ropes in a single day. The crate is not his favorite. He will go in when bribed with delicious treats and sleep quietly through the night. He mimics the vibe of the house by playing when we are active and snuggling on couch when we are quiet. He also gets along with other dogs, playing or backing off at the appropriate times. As he has settled into his foster home, he has started wrestling with the alpha dog of the house. Trenton deserves someone who will shower him with attention, car rides and rounds of fetch. He is everyone’s best friend, can he be yours? Trenton is neutered and up to date on all vaccines, flea and heartworm medication.

Story
Zoey is a 3 year old hound mix who is full of energy. She gets along great with other dogs and loves to go on walks. She will do well with an active family who will walk her and play with her. She has also done well with various kids of all ages she has met on her walks. She is still working on her potty training but has been doing well with only a few accidents in the house. We do believe she would benefit greatly from some obedience training as she does love to chew on one of the dog beds but can easily be redirected to chew on a toy. She does well in her crate while we are gone and through the night with no issues in our room. When feeding it would be best to feed her separate from other dogs as she has growled at the resident dogs when they were nearby while she was eating. She does not growl at us when we grab her food or move her bowl while eating. We think this stems from when she was a stray and wasn’t sure when her next meal would be. We are working on the growling and hoping she learns that she will always have a meal. She would do great with anyone and would love to be the next addition to your family.
