2011PICS/Dolly.jpg 2011PICS/Dolly1.jpg

Dolly is 5 years old & has a very special rescue story.  Dolly's Craig's List ad was noticed by a concerned individual who communicates with many rescues.  Her ad was shared & cross-posted via Facebook.  This network of individuals, cooperating together, got Dolly into rescue.  She is a calm, quiet and sweet girl, who had her health issues neglected for quite some time.  Dolly had chronic yeast & bacterial infections in both ears that were previously untreated.  Dolly underwent lateral ear resection surgery on both ears in late August which has helped her ears quite a bit.  Despite Dolly's previous neglect, she has regained her sense of hope since coming into her foster home.  We have seen her smile and wiggly butt return.  She enjoys children & is very calm & gentle with them.  Dolly occasionally likes to play with toys & she never bothers household items.  She really wants to please you & has a lot of love to give.  Dolly is crate trained, housetrained walks well on a leash & has good house manners.   She also knows basic commands.

Noelle is 2-3 years old and came to us just before Christmas. She was brought to a local shelter as a stray. Upon intake, the shelter discovered she had a prolapsed uterus.

She would love to have her forever family waiting for her once she is cleared for adoption. Noelle gets along great with all dogs, both large and small. She is well suited for a home with children of any age. Noelle is perfectly crate trained, but is continuing to work on her potty training and basic manners.

2011PICS/Stormy6.jpg 2011PICS/Stormy7.jpg
   
Stormy just turned 3 yrs old.  She has always lived outside with her sister Achilles.  The sisters will do better being placed in separate homes.  Not getting monthly heartworm preventative & living outside have resulted in Stormy & Achilles testing positive for heartworms.  Both girls have undergone treatment & are cleared for adoption.  Stormy is a dominant female & will need a home without cats.  Stormy is very bouncy, energetic & loves to be the center of attention.  Stormy has a strong desire to please,  & is doing well developing good house manners.  Stormy has learned to sit on command for a treat & will do best in a home with another large breed male or as an only dog.  Stormy is good with children but will probably do best in a home with older children due to her high energy level.  She is crate trained & is continues to make progress on her house training.

Stormy is being fostered in Paducah, KY.

2011PICS/Achilles3.jpg 2011PICS/Achilles4.jpg

Achilles just turned 3 yrs old & is needing to find her forever home.  She has always lived outside with her sister Stormy who is also needing a forever home.   The sisters will do better being placed in separate homes.  Not getting monthly heartworm preventative & living outside have added up to potentially deadly consequences for Achilles & Stormy.  Both tested positive for Heartworms.  Both have completed heartworm treatment & should suffer no long term effects afterward.  Achilles is the non-dominant, more submissive personality in comparison to her sister.  She is also quite a bit calmer than Stormy, but both have the high energy level typical of young boxers.  Achilles sits on command & will easily offer her paw to you.  Achilles needs a home without cats.  She does well with children & really enjoys playing with toys so much so that she sometimes confuses her toys with kids toys.  Achilles is learning good house manners, is crate trained & continues to make progress on her house training.

Shae
  2012PICS/Shae1.jpg 2012PICS/Shae2.jpg
Shae was found abandoned in a field; scared, emaciated, and with a broken leg. Shae is less than a year old and only weighed 28 pounds when she came into rescue. She needed orthopedic surgery to repair her leg, which was fractured in two places. Because Shae's health was so poor, her surgery had to be postponed. Shae is doing much better now that her leg has been repaired. It will still be several weeks before Shae is ready for adoption, but she would love to have her forever family waiting when she is ready for adoption. She is good with other dogs and kids. Shae is fully house and crate trained. She listens very well and knows her basic commands. Shae is a petite little girl, who will do good in almost any home.

Snookie
is very obviously the cutest little one year old girl!  She is full of Boxer energy.  Snookie is learning about crate training & house training.  Currently, she is very timid around people but will warm up nicely if given time & patience.  This should improve the longer she is in foster care.  She is suspected to be a puppy from Izabella who is also in rescue.  Snookie is learning how to be an indoor dog & working on her crate training & house training.  Snookie will be available for adoption as soon as she is spayed.

Snickers is approximately 12 weeks old.  She is doing all the usual puppy things like chewing on things, playing, learning crate training & house training.  One thing she knows how to do really well is give kisses.  Snicker’s foster mom says “She is an absolute sweetheart that doesn’t potty in her crate overnight & will hold it until she gets outside as long as that’s the first place she goes in the morning.”  She is getting lots of socialization in her foster home with small dogs, big dogs, cats & kids!  She also looks like she will grow into a rather large girl because her paws are quite big.  Snickers will be ready for adoption as soon as she has her spay done & enough vaccinations to protect her.

Belle Belle2 Belle4

Belle is a sweet little lady of 6 or 7 years.  She only weighs 45 pounds and is very petite.  Belle loves to zoom around the yard and likes you to pretend you are going to chase her.  She is such a fun girl to be around and is very loving.  When she is not playing outside she likes to relax on the couch.  Belle loves kids, although when she gets frisky she could knock a young child down. 

Belle likes consistency and is happiest if she in not constantly being exposed to new situations. She likes to go for rides in the car, but prefers to wait in the car if you need to get out.  Belle likes to go for walks, but gets anxious when she crosses paths with other dogs and needs some redirecting. Belle will be happiest as an only dog. She mostly likes to be by your side enjoying family time. She is housebroken and crate trained, although she does not need crated.  She is such a sweet girl and will be a great companion for the right family.
Belle is being fostered in Florence, KY.

Holly
BBRPics/Holly2.jpg

Hi! My name is Holly. I was brought in as a stray around Christmas, which is how I got my name. I am about 2 1/2 years old and full of energy. I have beautiful markings too. They don't think I have ever been allowed inside because I'm still not sure about being in the house. I was very leary at first, but am starting to come out of my shell. I am a bit rambunctious at this point, so an obedience class might be helpful in teaching me manners and how to be an inside dog. I love to wrestle with my other foster siblings and my foster family has learned that I am a fence jumper. There is a dog next door that I love to play with, so if I'm not on a lead, I jump right into the next yard. My foster parents have been working on my manners to turn me into the excellent dog they know I can be.  Please see my video on
www.petfinder.org.  I just need a little love and patience! Do you think we would be a good match?

Lori Ann-Not Available

BBRPics/LoriAnn1.jpg    BBRPics/LoriAnn2.jpg    BBRPics/LoriAnn3.jpg
UPDATE: 6-22-06  Lori Ann went for a 2nd HW test and will not be treated.  She is to high a positive to survive the treatment process.  She will live what time she has left with her foster mom who loves her dearly.  We will be getting her teeth pulled and cleaned to cut down on the infection next week.  She will know what it means to be loved and cared for during the last part of her life.  It is a shame this is happening to such a wonderful girl when it could all have been prevented by using monthly heartworm preventative.  If you do not have your dog on Heartworm preventative - PLEASE get it tested and placed on monthly preventative.  THIS IS THE LIFE OF YOUR PET YOU ARE PLAYING WITH.  THIS COULD BE YOUR DOG DYING OF HEARTWORM.

Lori Ann is a 7-8 yr old classic brindle female that was pulled  from an extremely high kill shelter.  She is very loving and sweet.  She is new to the program and we are still learning about her.  She is very gentle, gets along well with the other dogs in her new foster home.  She has made herself at home on the sofa and follows her foster mom everywhere.  She loves attention and is very well mannered.  In getting all her vetting up to date she has been found a high heartworm positive.  She will not be able to begin treatment as scheduled for we are trying to kill the microfolora so her liver and kidneys can function more properly.  She will also be undergoing surgery for her teeth and several will be removed at that time.   Please keep your eye on this wonderful girl.
