Story
We rescued Winnie from the KY Humane Society thinking that she was an Anatolian Shepherd. She is 6 years old and the sweetest girl. She loves to cuddle and be loved, but she needs to be in a home without other dogs. She is very jealous when it comes to toys and attention. She will take any toys away from our other dog, even if she doesn't want to play with it, but he also doesn't take up for himself. She is not like this around food, but she is getting very aggressive with toys and attention. She is house trained perfectly and knows how to sit and lay down.

He is a protective and loyal dog. He is a fun loving dog and loves attention. RJ is also a smart dog. His favorite food is roasted chicken or grilled chicken.

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, 11 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.

Spayed or Neutered,
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

Belgian Malinois

Female, Adult
Louisville, KY
Size

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
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
