Story
Cooper is very loving and lovable. He’s a big goofy boy. He is very high energy. He has been house trained for a while. He will sit and wait for you to tell him to go ahead and eat. He does need to be neutered which will probably help with his behavior. He loves exploring, used to do well with car rides but now he gets car sick. up to date on shots. He’s been getting nextgard plus for flea/tick prevention. He loves treats and eats pretty much anything. He will counter surf no matter how many times he gets told to get down. He does well with tooth brushing and coat brushing. He has never snapped at or bit anyone. He is loved but I am not able to keep up with him and financially I can not afford to get him fixed. My job has changed and he spends too much time crated than I like, he would tear my house up if I didn’t I want him to have a better life than I can give him.

Story
Hello, I`m KJ. I`m a pretty laid-back guy, you know? I`m not one for rushing into things. It takes me a little while to get used to new faces, but once I do, I`m your friend for life. I``ve got a lot of life and love left to give. I love a good romp in the play yard! I`ve been known to chase my tail and play with the squeaky toys. It`s the simple joys that make my tail wag. When we go for walks, I will do my best to stay by your side, enjoying the journey with you. I can be your companion on quiet nights in or your partner in crime on outdoor adventures. I`m looking for a family who can appreciate my vibes and give me the time I need to adjust. In return, I promise to be a loyal, loving companion.

Story
Hi there, I`m Axel! I`m a sweet, energetic, and smart fellow. I’m a 4 years and 9 months old male terrier. My days are filled with chasing my tail, napping, and dreaming of treats. I can`t resist a good treat, they`re my absolute favorite! But, I must admit, I get a bit grumpy when it comes to sharing my food. It`s just because I love it so much! I`m also quite the charmer, giving out kisses to anyone who`ll accept them. I`d do best in a home where I can be the only pet, soaking up all your love and attention. I need a little patience, but I promise I`m worth it. I`ve spent most of my life indoors, but I am learning to like the great outdoors. They tell me there`s lots of adventures out there so I am trying to be brave, I just need a little more time to adjust. I`m eager to learn and ready to become your loyal companion. Adopt me and let`s embark on a beautiful journey together.

Story
Hello, I`m Jasper! I`m a ball of energy and a total sweetheart. I love treats - they`re the best! But I need a bit of patience. I`ve spent most of my life indoors, but I am learning to love the great outdoors. They tell me there`s lots of adventures out there so I am trying to be brave, I just need a little more time to adjust. I`m not always the quickest learner, but I promise I`m worth the wait. I need a comfy, cozy home where I can relax and just be me. I`ve lived with another dog before, and we got along just fine, but I must admit, I`m a bit protective when it comes to my food. I guess I just love my kibble too much! If you have a lot of love to give, and you`re looking for a loyal friend, then look no further. I`m your guy. I`m Jasper, and I`m ready to make your life brighter!

Story
Meet Keeno, a 7-year-old, 60lb Pitbull mix with a heart as big as his smile! Rescued from a NYC high-kill shelter after being abandoned by his previous owners who claimed they 'had no time for him anymore,' Keeno is now ready to find his true forever home. Keeno has a lot to offer: he’s house-trained, knows basic commands like “Sit,” “Speak,” “Paw,” “Touch,” “Yes,” and even “Give Me Kiss.” He’s a couch potato at heart with medium to low energy, making him a perfect companion for someone seeking a laid-back dog. Understandably, Keeno has a mild history of separation anxiety, but has improved in his foster home and thrives with a predictable routine. Otherwise this sweet boy is fully vetted, neutered, and vaccinated. While Keeno is exceptionally friendly to strangers outside the home, he does have protective tendencies when visitors enter his home. This excitement, mixed with overprotectiveness, can result in nipping or going after pant legs, which has caused minor scrapes. For this reason, he needs a low-traffic home without kids and with few visitors. When strangers enter the home, Keeno should be leashed or crated to ensure a calm introduction. He would do best with a homebody, retiree, or someone with a consistent schedule who understands how to provide structure and security. He’s happiest when he has his person to lean on. Keeno loves some dogs, especially females or those smaller and younger than him. However, he can feel intimidated by dogs his size or larger, so off-leash parks or group daycare settings are not recommended. Keeno hasn’t been tested with cats but does have a tendency to chase critters, so a cat-free home would be ideal. If you’re ready to give Keeno the forever home he’s been waiting for, please apply on our website or email us at happygoluckymastiffrescue@yahoo.com for an application. This is an opportunity to become a part of his happily ever after, and in return, Keeno will provide you with loving and fiercely loyal companionship.

Hi I'm Hazel I'm a 45pd 4yr old terrier mix The ladies at the rescue say I'm a little queen! I'm not active more of a couch potato. I like to sit outside and enjoy the weather while watching the birds, squirrels and butterflies! I sometimes can be adventurous when comes to Logs and trees lol. I'm a very sweet girl and my foster mom can do anything with me. My only downfalls is i pull hard on leash, It does take time for me to trust men, No small children. I will need fed separately from other dogs and will need a slow introduction with dogs. I prefer male dogs. I love making new friends! If interested in meeting me please apply!

Meet Rufus. He is a very loving and playful 2yr old dog. I adopted Rufus to have a friend for my other dog. Rufus is very rambunctious and needs more attention than I can give him; as I have 3 young children. He is caught up on all vaccines and potty trained. Rufus would make a wonderful addition to any family.

Story
If you want a companion that isn't overly affectionate then look no farther. Charlie will appreciate everything you do for him such as walking him and giving him the occasional treats. He is not a in your face kind of boy. Charlie will keep you active with a routine exercise plan, his favorite thing to do at the shelter is to walk the BCHS trail. He is a strong boy though so he needs someone that can handle him on a lead. He also loves going for car rides, but it's recommended the windows stay mostly closed or he gets a doggie seatbelt. Going to Shawnee and hanging out in the water is another thing that he enjoys. We often say he would make the perfect "shop dog" because he would just love to sit in the garage with you while you tinker with your hobbies. Charlie needs to be in a home with no children as he seems to get overwhelmed by any kind of rowdiness. He also needs to be the only pet in the home. If you think Charlie would be a great addition to your household, please apply or call for more information.

Story
Zeus was brought to BCHS on August 6th, 2021, as an owner surrender. Zeus resource guards which means he is very protective over his items. The staff could tell when he arrived that he was not properly trained and was not socialized with other dogs or people. He also has what we call "kennel stress" so we recommend meeting him in the side runs instead of inside. Zeus is the sweetest boy outside of his kennel! He loves going on walks and has pretty good leash manners although every now and then he will see something he wants to investigate and will pull. He knows basic commands and is treat motivated so he should be pretty easy to train. Zeus is very loving to the girls here at BCHS and they have learned that he doesn't like his back end touched very much. He keeps his kennel very clean and loves curling up on a soft bed with his favorite Nylabone wishbone toy. Zeus's ideal home would be with someone who he could be their one and only, as he's not good with children. He is dog selective and only seems to tolerate females that are smaller than him so any meet and greet would have to be done very slowly. If you think Zeus would be a great addition to your household, please apply or call for more information.

Story
I`m Bandit. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I`m a gentle soul, a little on the mellow side but full of sweetness. I`m always up for a friendly chat and a car ride, windows down and the wind in my fur. I do love my treats, and I promise I won`t tug on the leash. I seem to have a soft spot for men, but I assure you, the kids I’ve met so far - I like them too. I may not be a fan of having my paws touched, but I`m as friendly as they come, just give me a bit to warm up first. I`m just a laid-back buddy looking for a companion to share life`s simple pleasures with. If you`re seeking a sweet, mellow, and friendly partner, I might just be your Bandit.
