We are looking to rehome Rocky, he is a very energetic dog who loves to play and we do not have enough space for him to flourish in life, he is great with other dogs, cats, and children. If you are interested or know someone who is please let me know, we move into a smaller place with no yard Friday. He is a great dog and deserves a happy life where he can flourish. Between work, school, my 9 month old we can’t give him the time and affection he needs. He is about 15 months old. He loves to play fetch, and tug of war or zoom through the yard, he loves affection and has gotten along with all animals introduced (cats and dogs). He is crate trained, and knows basic commands. He is very good driven, and is able to learn quickly.

Story
Honey's owner recently had a stroke and is unable to care for her. She is a high energy dog who needs a large area to run around! I would not recommend small children or elderly, she gets excited and jumps up to greet you, this may be a danger for people who are easily knocked over. She has been housed with two smaller dogs. When we leave she is crated. She was trained to puppy pads due to her owners mobility issues. Honey is a loving dog that can bring a lot of splendor to someone energetic and patient.

We love our Trixy but she needs to be in a home where she is the only dog and with children that are 8 or older. She is between 3-4 years old. We need to find a new home for her because she is not getting along with our other dogs. We rescued her from a friend who took her in because their neighbor moved and left her at the house. She is extremely loving, sweet and kind. She loves to play, snuggle and even swim. She is also potty trained and knows sit and shake. She deserves to live a long happy life.

Story
We brought Gunner home from the humane society. He is 5 years old. He is a very loving and loyal dog. He loves to play catch. He can be aggressive towards people he doesn’t know. Once he warms up to them, he is fine. He doesn’t like thunderstorms or kennels. He is an inside dog, but probably could be an outside dog if trained to stay in the yard. Gunner is our daughter’s dog. She is now in the military, and we are too busy to give him what he needs. We live in the country, which doesn’t provide any socialization with other people. We just want him to go to a good home.

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!

Story
Rubble is 9 months old now. We got him at 7 weeks old and he is such a good boy. He’s a big boy too at75lbs! Unfortunately he doesn’t get along with our other dog, who is a male Jack Russell. We also have 2 adult cats, 1 male and 1 female, and he hasn’t shown any major sign of aggression towards them but more like he wants to play or is curious by them. From what we’ve been able to gather since raising him from a pup is that he needs a home where he is the only animal, just to be on the safe side. He is great with people, even strangers to the home. And he is great with kids as well that live in the home with him. Rubble loves to fetch and tug outside with you and he loves to snuggle and be a big heavy weighted blanket for you as well! This is our first time having to do anything like this and we put the $20 adoption fee on him to weed out people who aren’t serious and want to abuse his breed. Thank you for taking time to look into our boy and take care.

These pups are in Louisville, Kentucky too!
