Story
Lola is a 3 year old female German shepherd mix with some husky in her. I got Lola from a relative when she was 8 weeks old. Looking for a better home for her, she deserves a loving family or loving individual. She loves walks and can entertain herself with rope. She will let you know when she needs to go outside. She’s good with kids and she likes to play outside, she plays fetch and she knows a few tricks too. She sits, gives paw, gives high fives, lays down and jumps when instructed. But she not always high energy she also enjoys cuddling up on the couch and sleeping. She’s also crate trained and does not have food aggression. I tried to educate her as best I could.

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.

Story
MISTY is a 3 year old, female german shepherd that weighs 65 lbs. She is smart, affectionate, active and very ready for her forever home. This beautiful girl has been with us for a long time, 2 years to be exact. We dont know why? She's a beautiful dog that's and good with other young male dogs. She's a german shepherd so she loves people, but in a "I'll respect you if you respect me" kind of way. She has a good work ethic, so again, an owner who has the mental stamina to work with her. Her time has come! She's as brilliant as they come! Her perfect home will be with an active, adult family (she'd be fine with older children). She must have a fenced yard and will be just fine with older children. If interested in adopting, please submit an application which can be found at www.adoptmebluegrasspetrescue.com

These pups are in Louisville, Kentucky too!

Story
Lilah is a beautiful female Belgian Malinois estimated around 2 years of age. Lilah was a stray therefore we do not know her history or background prior to arrival at the shelter.    Lilah is a very sweet and social girl who has clearly been well socialized in the past. She loves people and is really looking for "her" person to bond with. Lilah is eager to please, wicked smart, and a bit of a trickster. She may present as a unicorn amongst Mals - calm, social, and not toy motivated... but once you get to know her she is a typical chaos queen who wants to be involved in everything that is going on, views 5 miles as a warmup, and happily hunts any woodland creatures that may invade the yard. True to her breed Lilah has energy and prey drive to spare and is seeking a home that understands working breed dogs and is willing to give her appropriate outlets.   Lilah is hit or miss with other dogs as she is a dominate queen-bee with a high drive. Lilah is Intense and few other dogs tolerate her level of wild in the play yard. She does well ignoring other dogs while out and about and has been able to adjust to a small playgroup with supervision. Lilah is NOT safe for a home with cats or other small animals.    Lilah is a smart, loyal, and sweet girl who is looking for a home that will return the dedication she freely gives. If you're the family for Lilah please email us at Tierhavenrescue@gmail.com for an adoption application or visit Tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for our FAQsVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 8:53 pm
