Newport, KY

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story

Birdie came to SAAP from a cruelty case with 6 puppies. Unfortunately two passed so she’s been through a lot. She is spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Today she saw her pups get adopted and is waiting on her turn. She does have breed dna results: lab, chow, pug and Pyrenees Some facts about Birdie: Weighs 40lbs- she’s on the short side of a medium dog Age estimated at 3 years Mostly housebroken: She doesn’t have accidents if let outside frequently on a schedule She is good with dogs but will sometimes grumble at them if they are too in her face. Nothing aggressive though but she’s more of a coexister than a play mate While she does fine with the cats in her foster home, she can chase or bark at them at times so no cats are best unless they are dog savvy She loves people of all ages- would do best with a family home often She will sleep in your bed She does jump on people- we’re working on this but something to keep in mind with young children Will absolutely destroy dog toys! If interested in giving Birdie the forever home she deserves please apply online at www.adoptastray.comAugust 31, 2026, 9:25 pm

👑 ADOPT KING! 👑 📍 Located in Cincinnati, OH Meet King handsome, Doberman who comes with the full Doberman package: natural ears, full tail, brains, beauty, and plenty of personality! 😍 At 3 years old, King is fully vetted, neutered, and ready to trade rescue life for the happily-ever-after he deserves. ✨ A Little About His Royal Highness: 👑 Good with playful, large-breed female dogs 🚫 No Cats 👧 Kids 15+ 🏡 Physically fenced backyard required 🎓 Has graduated Basic Obedience Training 🧠 Smart, driven, loyal, and eager to learn ❤️ Sweet, affectionate, and VERY Velcro King does well with playful, large-breed females and enjoys having a doggy friend around. On leash, he can get excited when he spots another dog, but he’s easily redirected and can get right back to business. 👑 If you’re looking for a personal shadow… King has entered the chat. 😂 This boy is a true Doberman and would prefer to be wherever his people are. He’s affectionate, loyal, and ready to dedicate himself to his family. King has already put in some work, too! He has completed basic obedience training, knows his commands, and responds well to verbal corrections. He’s a smart guy who thrives when his brain and body both get a workout. Because King can be a little mouthy during playtime, we’re looking for a home with children 15 years or older. And because this energetic boy needs room to safely zoom, a secure, physically fenced backyard is required. Think you have room in your kingdom for King? 👑❤️ Visit our website and submit an adoption application for King today! www.bluegrassdobermanrescue.org 📍 King is located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Out-of-state adopters are welcome, but you must travel to meet King in person before his adoption can be finalized.
