Our otherJaxie loves kids & people in general, she loves to cuddle up on the couch or bed if allowed, she really just loves being with her people whether inside, outside or in the car. Jaxie knows her basic commands, walks well on her leash & is continuing to learn more as we continue to work with her. Jaxie likes treats & praise when she is being worked with. Jaxie is an amazing, sweet, cuddling girl who will be a remarkable & loving new addition to the family. Jaxie does need to be an only pet as does our other dog. We adopted Jaxie from Louisville Metro Animal House & Jaxie started to open up & our other dog started having resource guarding issues & she is showing resource guarding as well. They both need to be an only pets.

Story
Blu I have rescued since she was 8 months old. She is now almost 9 years old. She was always kind of skittish of people she was unfamiliar with but once she got to know me and anyone else shes quickly became a huge silly cuddly baby. She isnt the best with dogs but after some time to adapt shes grows accustomed to them. I love her to peices but her health has taken a consistent downward slope, with hips, joint, and skin issues. She still has energy in her but i see her skin is always irritated and she struggles with walking and stairs. I dont have the best resources or living situation for her to live her best life anymore and Im just hoping to find someone with more space, time, and resources to care for her like she deserves. I would like continuous contact as well.

Pudding is a 2-year-old brindle/whit pit mix. He's a sweet, inquisitive, smart dog. He still has puppy energy which long walks usually takes care of. He also loves to play fetch, tug of war and he'll catch treats when tossed to him I have to re home him because of medical reasons which prevent me from giving him the exercise he needs.

We got Sugar Maggie when she was just 6 weeks old. I found out I was pregnant a few months later so she has been growing up with my now 4 year old son. She is very affectionate and protective of children. She is energetic and loves to play. Sugar does have some skin allergies with symptoms such as red skin and a bit of odor, but these can be managed with weekly baths and medicine. I hope to see her go to a home that is as loving as she is.

She is outgoing, loves belly rubs, going on walks, and staying at you while you eat. I’m pretty sure the person who gave her to me was abusing her, so she just wants and needs a lot of loving and quality time. Her safe space is her cage!

Story
We adopted Ivy from Louisville Metro Services in October. We thought she was a great fit, however, she is a very rambunctious puppy. She is about 40 lbs and does not realize her size. When she is calm, she is very sweet and loving, but when she has a lot of energy, there isn’t much stopping her. She does great going outside to potty, but is still having accidents in the house. Our family feels that she needs a family who can embrace her energy and help give her what she needs.

Story
Cupcake is a 9 year old, pittie mix female. She weighs all of 40 lbs, so she's petite. Unlike so many others, we know a little about her. She originally came from TN. We know, because we pulled her. That was back in 2017. We did what we always do. We found a great family and we adopted her. Fast forward to 2024. Clearly her life took a few twists and turns and she was spotted - and then trapped - in Iroquois Park. No attempts to claim her followed so she's officially back in our program. Thank goodness for microchips! When she was wanded, the number came straight to us and she was able to sidestep a trip to Louisville Metro. The volunteers are getting to know her. She's a favorite! Someone took care of her and someone loved her because she can't get enough attention. She is very well behaved and not bothered by the company of other dogs. She is in great health and she's willing to give this a go, again! If interested in adopting, our process begins with submission of our application. Please visit our website at www.adoptmebluegrasspetrescue.com and click on Cupcakes's picture in "Adoptable Dogs". Additional adoption FAQ's can be found here also. Meets will be set with approved applicants based on our "best family fit" approach. Thank you!

These pups are in Louisville, Kentucky too!
