 | Rescue Me ID: 14-03-07-00145Bella (female)
She is a wonderful dog with wonderful temperament. I run a daycare and she has been wonderful around newborn to adult status. Very loving. thinks she is a lapdog. She sits on my 6 year olds lap next to fire all the time which is comical. We have had her since puppy hood. We have other dogs and has been fine with them up until Christmas. She has started to try and dominate the other dogs in house more so the female. This is causing dog fights. she cannot be in a house with other dogs for the betterment of both pets. We are so sad to see her go as my children both daycare and my own are so in love with her. This is a emergency situation as ...

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-03-05-00222Diesel (male)
This is an amazing dog that is only in need of a new home because my ex boyfriend is now incarcerated. I have lived with this dog for 3 years of it's 3.5 years of life, so I love it like my own and would honestly keep him if I could, but I do not have the space. I cannot see him go to the pound and be put down or taken for the wrong reasons. This beautiful baby's name is Diesel and he is a 3.5 year old pure bread 'red nose' Pitbull. He is approximately 75 pounds. He was a show dog who has won several 1st place trophies and awards. He is sweet above all else, will lick your face as long as you will let him, will cuddle with you for hours, ... (Read More)but will also protect you and your home from intruders. I never once felt scared of break-ins with him around. He is a naturally strong and athletic dog, and as a game dog is a natural at hunting, running and jumping, so someone that has any land or a fenced in yard at least would be best. He is good with other dogs, especially females, but with dogs it is never a guarantee that they will get along, so if you have other dogs, you must be committed to training them both to respect each other, or it's not a good idea for you to have him. The only issue he's ever had was because he and the other male dog he lived with were not neutered, and the female dog he lived with was in heat. He is neutered now, so that should not be an issue. While he likes other dogs, he would be very content as an 'only child'. He does not have accidents in the house and will not rip up furniture or anything left around. He has not had a lot of exposure to children, but he is great with people, so with a bit of training on boundaries (because he's naturally strong, he doesn't often know his own strength and could maybe knock a child over when he's excited) I'm sure it would be fine. HE IS A VERY SMART DOG THAT CAN LEARN ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TEACH HIM WITH A LITTLE EFFORT! This dog means the world to me and I want more than anything to find a good home for him. If you love Pits then this dog could be perfect for you and I promise you he will brighten your life and make you smile every single day! (Less) Jefferson County Louisville, KY MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 14-02-27-00390Buddy (male)
Buddy is a very sweet dog, we rescued him off the streets when he chose our family. He was a stray in our neighbor hood for around 6 months and everyone was scared of him because he is a pit. My husband gave him a piece of cheese one day when he walked up to our back porch as my husband was eating a sandwich. He used to sit in the street a few houses down and watch us outside with our other dog, playing fetch and playing with the kids. its like he watched our family and yearned to be with us. One Saturday morning a few weeks after the cheese sandwich incident my husband was backing his truck out of our drive way to go to the store, Buddy ... (Read More)walked out from behind the neighbors house limping, looking at my husband like, please help me :( My husband being the dog lover he is (I call him the dog whisperer) opened the truck door and Buddy jumped right in. My husband was surprised but happy because he wanted to help the dog. We put a harness on him and took him straight to the vet. Come to find out, Buddy incurred a torn ACL. We had no money to get him surgery and the vet told us that if we were to keep Buddy we would be very surprised that Pitbulls can handle pain better than any other animal and that he would eventually get used to having a hurt leg and be fine. Well long story short, we did not get the surgery, its been almost 2 years and Buddy is fine. If he plays outside to much in 1 day he will act sore but is back to being his normal self the next day. OK now on to the sad part. Buddy does not like anyone in uniform. I mentioned earlier in the story that Buddy was a neighborhood stray for many months before we 'rescued him.' The neighbors called the dog pound many times on him and tried to get him out of our neighborhood. Buddy was almost captured one time when the dog pound shot him with a tranquilizer but Buddy got away. I believe this is the reason Buddy does not like anyone in uniform. He is a very smart dog and knows what the dog catcher truck looks like and also knows what a policeman looks like. 3 uniforms he doesnt like are dog catcher, policeman, and mail man. Getting on with my story.... last summer buddy was outside on his chain in our back yard so that my brother in law could eat his lunch in peace without Buddy starring at him begging for food (he loves human food and will star a hole through you the entire time you are eating.) It just so happen that the mail lady (walking door to door mail person who buddy barks at everyday when she comes) walked by our driveway. Like i said, Buddy does not like the mail lady. Buddy broke off his chain and bit her. I know it sounds bad and sounds like he is a scary aggressive dog but he isnt. We all know dogs hate the mail man and most dogs would have done the same thing. I really feel this would not be a big issue if he was not a pitbull. He is being hated on becasue of the word pitbull and it isnt fair. He is a very loving cuddly dog. He thinks he is a lap dog. There was only 1 bite and Buddy let go. I think he realized what he had done and let go because really he doesnt want to hurt anyone. So, the mail lady being a baby called the EMS and left on a stretcher, although she only had 3 small puncture wounds. We filed a police report as well as a report with Animal Services. We had to keep Buddy inside the house at all times except for 3 mins at a time on a hand held leash for 14 days. Upon no extra instance with in the 2 week time limit given to us by Animal services, we were able to go back to our normal lives. The case was closed with the Police and Animal Services. Now on to present day. Its been a little over 7 months, today the owner of our house, our landlord, got a letter in the mail from a lawyer stating that the former mail carrier is planning on suing our renters insurance carrier and maybe our landlords home owners insurance carrier. Our landlord is giving us 7 days to get rid of him. We feel as if we are loosing one of our children. Both of my sons, 7 yrs old and 10 yrs old are loosing a brother. We would actually move from our home of 5+ years to keep this dog if we were able but do not have the money to move right now. PLEASE HELP US!! We are scared that if we dont find a home for Buddy we are going to have to take him to the dog shelter and we do not live in a no kill county. Buddy will most likely be put to death for protecting himself and our family. PLEASE HELP US! Call me, text me,email me. anytime day or night and you can come meet him. He just needs love. Please help us save our family members life. PLEASE CONSIDER. (Less) Jefferson County Louisville, KY MAP IT!

We've had Zoey her whole life, all of which she's also spent with her brother Tyson (who's not available for adoption). Finding her a new home isn't something we want to do and is not something we were ever planning on doing. She's not an aggressive dog and she's one of the most loyal and sweetest dogs I've ever met. She's not dominant towards people, she's actually very people submissive. She's just somewhat dominant over other animals but never in an aggressive way. She's had hip surgery so she's sensitive about her back end. She's also been vaccinated but she may need some boosters. We have to find her a new forever home because she's ... (Read More)getting older and just can't deal with small children anymore. This is a problem because we have two little ones. She is 6, so she definitely has plenty of good years to spend with someone who is willing and able to give her the love and attention she deserves. We're trying everything we can to find her a new suitable and permanent home. She's a very good dog and would be an amazing addition to a one pet family with older children.

 | Rescue Me ID: 13-07-04-00418Mariah (female)
MARIAH is a sweet, short, smiley little girl that has unfortunately been with us for a VERY long time. After sitting at the shelter for months and months, funds were eventually raised so that she could attend a two-week professional board and train with Curtis Craig of The Calm K-9. She successfully completed that program and is now ready for her forever family! Mariah is wonderfully sweet and loves to smile. She's low to medium energy and is just as happy to sit and watch a movie as she is to go on a leisurely stroll. This lovely lady is also treadmill trained and enjoys a daily 30-45 minute walk. Set up two treadmills side by side ... (Read More)and you can exercise together on inclement days - talk about motivation to keep yourself fit! Mariah is very much a people dog and tries hard to please. She gets along with most dogs and is more than mildly interested in cats. She has learned to not react to the two kitties in her foster home, but she does need additional structure in this area. If you're interested in adopting or rescuing Mariah, please contact the Daviess County Animal Shelter at 270.685.8275 or dcacanimals@yahoo.com.

| PIease Read Before Adopting a Pit Bull in Kentucky | |||||||||
Pit Bull Dogs can make good pets in Kentucky if they match your IifestyIe. The American Pit Bull Terrier is a powerful dog with an undeserved reputation for inherent viciousness. A Pit Bull that receives attention, firm training, and thorough socialization makes a wonderful family guardian that is trustworthy with children. Pit Bulls need committed, experienced owners that exude leadership. Pit Bulls excel at high level obedience with proper training. Pit Bulls have been bred for dog fights, and unfortunately a dog that is abused, neglected, or whose instinctive aggression is encouraged, can become hostile and dangerous. Pit Bulls can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise.
