Max is a loving and amazing dog. He is such a people person and always shows constant affection. He is very energetic and needs lots of attention. He is trained well and responds quickly to commands. He would be a great fit for a young family or a farm that can give him the space and time for his energy. I am relocating a cross the country this fall and need to find an amazing home for this sweet boy.

Story

Theo is a two year old puppy who loves to play, run, and cuddle. He loves to give kisses and tries to be a lap dog. He loves to sleep beside you under the covers and wake you up with kisses in the morning. He's a great guard dog and is always on alert. Unfortunately, Theo requires a lot of attention. We recently moved out of my family home and he's alone most of the day. He has a lot of anxiety when being left alone and cannot handle being in a cage for hours. I and my husband both work long hours throughout the day and the shift has been hard for Theo. We don't want to rehome him, but see it as a better option for him in the end to be with a family who can give him all the attention and proper training he needs.

Story

Misha is an incredibly affectionate heeler mix. She has yet to meet a person she doesn't immediately like. Misha has done well with children and cats. She follows basic commands (sit, stay, leave it, etc) and loves to go for runs or play with tug toys. She recently started getting into fights with one of our dogs and needs a new home for her and the other dog's safety. She is spayed, chipped, and up to date on all vaccines. Misha needs a home where she can get more attention and play than I'm currently able to give her. To avoid surrendering her to a shelter, we need to re-home her quickly. Inquiries please call .

Story

LENNOX is a 2 year old, female cattle dog mix. She weighs 39 lbs. She was originally adopted out as a puppy and came back when she hit her "terrible teens". Those days are now long gone and she has blossomed into a lovely, young lady. Our Paws Behind Bars prison dog training program was just what she needed. Here, the rules are the rules and slowly, but surely, Lennox started to fall into line. Cattle dogs are a very task driven breed and obedience training was actually what she needed. She also polished up her social skills. Upon graduating from the program, she went to a great foster home. Here, she became BFF's with the foster's dog. (Who was also in our program and came back as an unruly teenager before he, too, went through Paws Behind Bars) Her "perfect fit" home will be an active one with older children. (cattle dogs will always want to herd). If there is another dog, a male would be preferred. A fenced in yard is a must so she can get the proper amount of exercise. She loves people and thrives on obedience and structure. If interested in adopting, our process begins with submission of our application. Please visit our website at www.adoptmebluegrasspetrescue.com and click on Lennox'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!

Details

Good with kids, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Beethoven was born deaf to a litter of ten purebred Australian Cattle Dogs. His brothers and sisters all went to good homes to either be family pets or working dogs. However, because of his special needs, Beethoven stayed with us to be cared for. We already have three other dogs and realize we have stretched ourselves a bit. We want Beethoven to have his best life with someone who can care for him properly. Beethoven has been an outside dog who is crated inside at night. He is incredibly intelligent and sweet. While he can occasionally be ornery, he mostly wants to run and bark at squirrels when he sees them. He has shown food aggression in the past and we have worked with him to correct but we have seen him try to bully other dogs out of the bowl. In his life, Beethoven has interacted with at least five other dogs but never with cats. He does well around children.

Story

Copper is a Texas Heeler, or Australian cattle dog mixed with an Australian shepherd. Copper is 7mnths old (7/24/24) and the last of his litter to be adopted. Many of the other Texas Heelers had merle patterns and were adopted swiftly. However young copper has a pattern that resembles a Beagle. While his coat may look like a Beagle he is a heeler through and through. Very energetic and playful. Copper loves to please and wants to help when he sees someone working. Copper is very playful with other dogs but does not have experience around cats. Copper has been around children and, while he doesn't have good manners he is not aggressive. Copper is very timid but once you show him some little affection he opens right up. He has the snout of an Australian shepherd with the tenacity of an Australian cattle dog. Copper is not house broken, he is an outside dog that is crated at night.

Story

I’m looking to find separate homes for my two sweet and loving 7-month-old Blue Heelers. They have litter mate syndrome and need to be separated to thrive. Both are great with other dogs and children, but they do chase cats and sheep. They’ve chased one of my sheep to the point it passed away, and they tend to nip at the noses of the sheep, causing lacerations. They will need homes that understand their breed and can provide the right environment. Both are energetic and would do well with an active owner familiar with cattle dogs. Serious inquiries only—please reach out if you're interested in adopting one of them.

Story

Meet Leona! Leona is a 5 year old cattle dog/pitbull mix. Leona needs a home with no cats or small animals and no small children. She is still very much a puppy and loves to play. She loves people and loves to give kisses. She would do best in a fenced in yard. If you would like to make Leona a part of your family, fill out an application at www.barktownrescue.org LEONA'S ADOPTION FEE IS $170 *Due to Covid 19 restrictions some of our new intakes vet scheduling has been delayed. We will still go ahead and schedule your meet and greet even if all the vetting needed has not been completed. Once vetting is complete the approved adopter will be able to take their dog/cat home to their forever home.The shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at the dog's predominant breed or breed mix. We strongly encourage you to select your new pet by looking at each dog's individual personality and pet qualities rather than relying on a breed label that is only our best guess. Our adoption fees vary from $150 and up. All of our dogs are up to date on vaccines, heart worm preventives, and flea/tick medication, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Portions of your adoption fee also help care for the sick and injured animals that we take in. Thank you for supporting us and considering a rescue dog! October 16, 2024, 2:41 pm

Story

Milo is a high energy 5.5-year-old, half Austrian Shepard, half English Shepard. I received him from a breeder off a farm near Elizabethtown, KY when he was an 8-week-old puppy. He has lived most of his life in the city, however my parents have a farm that he visits frequently. Milo loves to run around the farm and explore. He has always been a very smart dog, he would learn tricks quickly, but he will push the boundaries of the trick/command. Milo has had some problems with aggression in the past. Generally, Milo is friendly with humans, just give him time to greet you, but other dogs tend to make him defensive, specifically large male dogs. Usually, if he has time to slowly meet another dog and get used to the dog, he is very playful with them. Milo has tons of energy and would be a great dog for lots of exercise, I have walked with him and run with him before on the leash, but he does pull some. The ideal home for Milo would be lots of land, or at least somewhere with a large yard.
