Gunther is a really cool dude. He is fantastic at fetch but he's not a hyper boy. just loves attention and is very smart. Did we mention Gunther is very handsome, too? He keeps a very clean kennel, so we feel certain he is house trained.

Story
We recently got Marley from a friend who was about to take her to the shelter. I believe we are her second home. She is very sweet with an amazing personality, but we live in an apartment and it is not the ideal space for her. She’s a medium sized dog, but acts as a small lap dog and will lay around most of the day. She understands commands such as sit, lay, and shake.

Story
When we fostered Teddy (Ted Mosby), we didn't go through a rescue. Instead, we told a friend that we would foster him, get him neutered and chipped, and find him a home. Unfortunately, we have some upcoming medical procedures that won't allow us to keep a large, teenage dog, and they're coming up quickly. Teddy is a 74lb 11-12 month old mix of German Shepherd, Australian Shepherd, pit, and another 9 breeds. He's a gorgeous beast and we've started him with training. He's come a long way since June after being left on the street in 102 deg. Teddy is wicked smart. He's a super confident dog, medium drive, non aggressive (but protective) and trains easily. He's a rambunctious, fun dog that will need time and space to adjust and a firm leader to lead him. Ideally, he will be looking for a home without children or other pets, for now- and a home with a fenced in yard. He needs to live with someone who can take the time to work with him on stranger and other dog skills.

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Chip was adopted at 4 months old. He is a German Shepherd mix but we do not know exactly what. He is 5 years. He is honestly such a great dog. He loves cuddles and to be with you where you are. He loves hugs and being active. We recently have had some issues with Chip and our older lab. He has begun to guard any food in the house and will jump her if she comes near it. It can be dog food, human food, anything. We have a toddler in our home and a baby on the way and we don’t want anything to happen. He is usually quick to let go once intervened but not without some force. He also has a lot of anxiety about being alone. He is okay if left in an open space but not with a closed door. He has chewed up the carpet on our stairs, destroyed a wire kennel, and scratched up a door when left alone. He really is a great dog and great with kids. We want him to find a home that will be suited well for him.

Mia

German Shepherd Dog Belgian Malinois

LaGrange, KY
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Looking for an excellent dog and companion, but also a great potential protection dog or competition dog? Look no further than Mia, our 2-year-old German Shepherd/Malanois mix. This breed makes a loyal and devoted companion. They tend to be a little more level headed like the German Shepherd and are not as overly active as the Malinois and they are easier to live with as a house pet. Mia came to us when her owner decided he was too busy to devote to her the time she deserved. She has completed her basic command and manner training in Camp K-9 at the Kentucky State Reformatory. Her inmate handler describes her as having medium energy. She enjoys walks, playtime with dogs and humans, and playing with her own toys. She is house trained and crate trained. She does alert at strangers sometimes. Mia has a clean bill of health and is up to date on vaccines and is on flea/tick and heart worm prevention. She is microchipped. Mia needs an owner with experience with dogs of her breed or large dog experience. No cats and no children in the home. If you would like to meet Mia, please fill out an application on our website.

LuLu - Paws Behind Bars Trained

German Shepherd Dog Mixed Breed (Large)

Female, 10 mos
LaGrange, KY
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
LuLu -Paws Behind Bars Trained Lulu is German Shepherd mix, and as such, she is a smart, athletic, bundle of energy. Although she is a puppy, our Paws Behind Bars prison dog training program is the perfect place to let her grow up. She quickly mastered her obedience training and is able to work on her social skills in all different kinds of situations. LuLu will do best in a home with an owner who has good dog experience, preferably with working breeds. We already see that If LuLu isn't "working, she is looking for puppy mischief. She will need plenty of physical AND mental exercise. At her age, she can be successfully introduced to other dog(s) in the home but we are recommending young male dogs. We do not think she's a good fit for small children or cats. Her home will need a fenced in yard. Most importantly, she needs an owner who will maintain her training and understand her high drive to please and "work". IMPORTANT: Please Keep in mind LuLu is under an year old with a life expectancy of 12 + years. Our guiding principle for adoptions is to seek the right fit for our rescues and the families, including a home that can stay committed to the animal for life. If interested in adopting, our process begins with the submission of OUR online application which can be found at www.adoptmebluegrasspetrescue.com. Additional adoption FAQ's can be found there also. Meets will be set with approved applicants only.
