We got Sugar Maggie when she was just 6 weeks old. I found out I was pregnant a few months later so she has been growing up with my now 4 year old son. She is very affectionate and protective of children. She is energetic and loves to play. Sugar does have some skin allergies with symptoms such as red skin and a bit of odor, but these can be managed with weekly baths and medicine. I hope to see her go to a home that is as loving as she is.

She is outgoing, loves belly rubs, going on walks, and staying at you while you eat. I’m pretty sure the person who gave her to me was abusing her, so she just wants and needs a lot of loving and quality time. Her safe space is her cage!

Story
Onyx is a two year old, spayed, female pit mix who is up to date on vaccines. This is what her foster mom had to say about her: "As you can see in her pictures, she's a bit of a goof :) She loves long walks, but is also content to snuggle on the couch. She likes to be covered up with blankets. She doesn't like going out in the rain. She takes treats very gently and prefers soft over crunchy. She loves ice, and comes running every time I open the freezer:) She sits/waits while her food bowl is put down. We have been working on leash manners and she's doing well, though not yet perfect. We have also been working on recall and waiting at the door to go out, she's doing well with both. She likes car rides, but 100% needs to be restrained with a harness and seatbelt . She is potty trained and good in her crate.   She doesn't destroy toys and generally doesn't chew things that she shouldn't. She has a high (wildlife) prey drive and I don't think she could live with cats.  She is non-reactive to other dogs while out on walks. She had positive interactions with a Trainer friends' dog and another dog at the shelter. Both my friend and shelter staff believe that she will be fine with other dogs with proper introductions and supervision." Let's get Onyx adopted!

Story
Zero is a 4 year old pure bred Blue Pitbull terrier! We rescued him from a family member who neglected him. We’ve had him for 2 years. He is the sweetest dog I’ve ever known, and does not have a mean bone in his body. He’s VERY high energy, and has anxiety due to his previous living conditions. He just wants lots of love, cuddles, walks, treats, and playtime!! He would best be suited for someone who can walk him atleast once a day if not more, and a big yard. He does well with other dogs as long as they are friendly. He loves cats and currently lives with 3. Good with kids but be mindful with him around young ones, because he does not understand he is big and can’t jump or be in their face. He loves every person he meets. He is up to date on shots, fixed, and microchipped. He is house trained, and cate trained. Unfortunately we cannot give zero the time and exercise he needs and deserves. Please reach out if you can give him what he needs and will love him forever!

Story
Dubby is a special dog with a lot of love to give. He is friendly, affectionate, loyal, gentle, playful, smart, funny, and athletic - to name a few of his shining characteristics! He is a very loving dog who adores kisses and giving kisses. Dubby would be the perfect fit for a family with older children (13+), or just adults living in the home. Dubby loves to play with other dogs, and an old injury is not holding him back in any way. If you believe you could be the right family for this sweet boy, please complete an application at https://www.cognitoforms.com/SaveOneSoul/SaveOneSoulAdoptionApplication , so that you can meet him.

Story
We adopted Sandy 3 months ago. She was abandoned in the desert in Arizona, where we currently live. Her and our 7 year old lab mix got along perfect in the beginning but the lab started becoming aggressive towards her which we recently found out was due to me being pregnant. We are home in Kentucky for the holidays and they escalated and we are unable to take her back on the 24 hour car ride to AZ. Sandy is the sweetest most purest soul of a dog that there is. If we had not had our other dog since she was a puppy we would never part with her. She will complete anyone’s family and we are saddened that it is not ours. She is perfectly healthy, HWT negative and CBC/Chem25/UA all normal and was done at her visit for vaccines when we got her. We have reached out to every rescue possible and are unable to find a foster for her. We are at such a loss and can’t fathom having to take her to the pound. Please help if you can she deserves so much more than this.

Story
We brought Gunner home from the humane society. He is 5 years old. He is a very loving and loyal dog. He loves to play catch. He can be aggressive towards people he doesn’t know. Once he warms up to them, he is fine. He doesn’t like thunderstorms or kennels. He is an inside dog, but probably could be an outside dog if trained to stay in the yard. Gunner is our daughter’s dog. She is now in the military, and we are too busy to give him what he needs. We live in the country, which doesn’t provide any socialization with other people. We just want him to go to a good home.

Story
Cupcake is a 9 year old, pittie mix female. She weighs all of 40 lbs, so she's petite. Unlike so many others, we know a little about her. She originally came from TN. We know, because we pulled her. That was back in 2017. We did what we always do. We found a great family and we adopted her. Fast forward to 2024. Clearly her life took a few twists and turns and she was spotted - and then trapped - in Iroquois Park. No attempts to claim her followed so she's officially back in our program. Thank goodness for microchips! When she was wanded, the number came straight to us and she was able to sidestep a trip to Louisville Metro. The volunteers are getting to know her. She's a favorite! Someone took care of her and someone loved her because she can't get enough attention. She is very well behaved and not bothered by the company of other dogs. She is in great health and she's willing to give this a go, again! If interested in adopting, our process begins with submission of our application. Please visit our website at www.adoptmebluegrasspetrescue.com and click on Cupcakes'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!

These pups are in Louisville, Kentucky too!
