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.

Story
Jack was a rescue from Louisville Metro animal society. He is a beautiful young dog that needs someone with lots of energy and time. He's a very smart, learns very quickly. He is not a good fit for our home as I don't have the time that he needs. I'm looking for someone that will love him and take care of him until he is no longer with us.

Story
I got tippi as a surprise Christmas gift three years ago, Since then, he has been glued to my hip. The moment I got him in the truck, I knew something was off. I’m not sure if he has a mental disability or neurological problem.I have tried to get him diagnosed, but became a parent that was out of my financial reach.He is protective when new guests arrive , but adjusts after 5/10 mins once he gets to smell them. Mostly barking. He is a very sweet goofy dog, We like to describe him as Jim Carrey because of the way that he overreacts with his body language. He’s very enthusiastic and playful. He does live with a cat currently and they get along very well and even play with each other. I’m not sure how that will be for others, I think just time to adjust will do. I have noticed that he has a lot of Leash aggression, Which I have tried to work on with him by giving him treats and positive reinforcement. He hasn’t been around a lot of children. He is mostly used to adult

Story
SHERLOCK SHERLOCK is a 1-year-old male, catahoula/cattle dog mix but that's just the start! You'd have to be Sherlock Holms to unravel the other 17 breeds mixed up in this happy little body! (how about Beagle, Cocker Spaniel, St. Bernard, Boxer, Chihuahua and the list goes on!!) He is full grown and weighs 45 lbs so the big and the little balanced each other out! SHERLOCK is very outgoing, and good with other dogs. He came to us from a local shelter where he was picked up as a stray. More than likely, someone got him as a puppy and then was not able to provide the proper amount of exercise. Thanks to our volunteers, he gets to go on long walks and investigate lots of things. Thanks to our Paws Behind Bars prison dog training program, we had an inmate who was able to get him going in the right direction and teach him basic obedience. Time and alot of TLC, and we can really turn these dogs around. Sherlock's perfect family should be active. A good fenced in yard and another young dog to play with are also desired. He's fun to be around! IMPORTANT: Please Keep in mind both the age and life expectancy of Sherlock. 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 SHERLOCK, our process begins with submission of our online application which can be found at www.adoptmebluegrasspetrescue.com. Additional FAQ's can be found here also. Meets will be set with approved applicants. Thank you!

Story
Hank came to us as an owner surrender. Hank is a sweet young dog that is very timid. Although he is extremely timid, he has shown us zero signs of aggression. Once you sit with Hank awhile, he melts your heart! He loves to give kisses. He was an outside dog before coming to our shelter and has never been on a leash prior to coming to us, but we are working with him on leash training and confidence. He has already shown much improvement since arriving. He is said to be good with kids and other dogs but has not been cat tested. We can do that upon request.

She does sometimes do tricks as in "paw" & she does sit.

Story
Charlie came to us at 6 months old from an animal control shelter. He had a rough time as a puppy and needed lots of love and care. We have now had him for two years and he has rounded out to be a sweet and obedient dog. He loves cuddles, tug of war, and any opportunity to get treats. He is well trained in basic commands and walking. Charlie would thrive in a home with a medium to large yard where he can sprint and play. . He would also be most comfortable in a home with adults or older children and as the only pet or with one other medium sized dog. He is generally very friendly but is anxious and needs reassurance and low stress environments. He is friendly with other dogs but is sensitive about food. He also has been friendly with kids (we have a 10 month old) but likes his personal space and not to be poked and prodded by them. He is very cuddly with adults but struggles with infants and toddlers that do not know enough to respect a dog’s boundaries.
