PREFERS A HOME WITHOUT
Cats.
Hagrid is all about affection and connection. The rescuer reported after she finally was able to get him for us, that the first thing he did was lean up against her. She said that as she tried to walk, he would just sit on her foot. She said he was so sweet and so craving of human connection. This beautiful big boy is used to being someone’s companion. And he is not used to being without a companion. Yes, Hagrid recently had some serious disappointments; a few months ago, his owner died and since then he has had to try to find food and companionship on his own. Being a big boy, 80 pounds, likely a mastiff/plott hound mix, three years old, probably didn’t really help him to make connections. Also, living in a remote country area of KY, the next “neighbor” was about a mile away, which made his journey harder. He hung outside one neighbor for a few months and they gave him some food. Apparently, their dogs were not friendly with him, so they did not bring him into the house. He visited some other neighbors' porches as well, but they didn’t want visitors. Finally, someone called a local rescue group, not a shelter. Thank goodness no one called a shelter!!! But even though they called a rescue group, his travel to us was delayed with all the time complications associated with this pandemic period. So, he was outside at least two or three months, maybe more. There he was subject to the elements so he picked up heartworm and erlichia, both of which we started treating today, May 6, 2020. The meds will straighten that part out. It is pretty common for rescue dogs to have one of these conditions. Otherwise this boy, (approximately) 3 to 4 years old, is extremely fit, muscular, and healthy. We would like to adopt him with a family with no other dogs because he really deserves and craves attention and would like to be the only one. Plus if there were any personality conflicts we would like to avoid that. Additionally since he will need time to recover from heartworm we don't want him to be enticed to play with other dogs until he is well. He is now up to date on all his shots and will be neutered this week. He is super sweet and loving with people. He has not been tested with cats, so we are not adopting him to a family with cats. Every rescue group has been getting tons of applications for each dog posted and we can only choose one adopter, the one we think has the least chance of returning the dog, because after the fact they realize they can’t handle him or a dog. We don’t want this dog’s heart broken again. We also process the earliest applications. So, we want to be very clear on the type of family that is a match for Hagrid:
1. Experience, love, and comfort for larger dogs
2. Experience, love, and comfort with “bully” breeds--he is probably a mastiff/hound mix
3. Time at home to spend with Hagrid (Including in normal work times)
4. Experience with dog training as Hagrid may not be familiar with a leash
5. Patience with decompression--Hagrid has been living outside for months; he may need a housetraining refresher. But he loves giving paws!
6. Fenced in backyard tall enough for a large breed; he is very used to “roaming/outdoors” right now
7. Responsible about the heartworm healing process; the dog needs low activity temporarily
8. Active family for when Hagrid is ready for moderate or higher activity
9. Ability to commit financially and emotionally to this “big bear” companion Hagrid!
So if you would like to adopt Hagrid, please visit our website www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. Thank you so much!

Meet super affectionate 4-year-old, 72-pound yellow lab mix Creole. For reasons beyond his control he ended up at a kill shelter; he came in as a stray. His family may have been too poor to keep him. They couldn't feed him enough (he's underweight) or put him on heartworm preventative.
But as his Mississippi foster said, he was definitely loved because he just loves people. His foster said he will stick right by her side, sit on her foot even just to snuggle close. His priority is people! He was very friendly with all the staff at the shelter. Regarding his interaction with other shelter dogs they gave us this report. "He has been to playgroup with other dogs three times since arriving. Creole was part of a dog playgroup on 6/12/20. It seems like he could take it or leave it. He's not a fan of rambunctious dogs and doesn't hesitate to correct them strongly when they are rude or invade his space. Staff thought he enjoyed his solo yard time more than playgroup. Creole might do OK in a home with calmer, more independent dogs, but he probably wouldn't love living with a very energetic dog who insists on them playing together." He also is heartworm positive meaning he should not be getting high energy activity at this time which may be playing a part in his feelings about group interactions. He was picked up by his foster on June 23. Creole was a very good boy on the car ride. He was fine with the other dog in the car, 10-month-old Cadlas (also adoptable). At his foster's house he was fine with her cats
A gentle boy she said. We haven't seen him with kids yet, so we seek a home with kids over 7 years old. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all his shots. Since he has heartworm, he has begun treatment for that, and we expect him to do very well. To adopt handsome Creole please visit our website www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application.

Meet Kimmy the sweet 33 pound 6 month old coonhound/border
collie/lab mix puppy. She was surrendered with her mom Ellie Mae and
sibling puppies Sofia, Jennifer, Meghan and Lucy to a shelter because
they had too many dogs.
We quickly rescued them and as of 7/6/20 they have all been spayed and
are receiving our normal extensive vetting protocols. They have never
been to a shelter or a vet so have been scared. They will need time to
learn about new things and a loving household. The are not leash
trained and are afraid of a leash right now so a home with a fenced in
backyard would be best. These pups would not be suitable for city
apartment living because they are afraid of things and they will have
high exercise requirements when adjusted to their new environment.
They are good with other dogs, cats unknown, housebroken unknown but
are smart and eager to please. To make Kimmy your new family member
and devoted best friend please visit our website www.peace4paws.org
and fill out an adoption application. Thanks!

Meet Max! This handsome one-year-old little boy, white and red rat terrier is only 10.9 pounds full grown. He loves kids and other dogs. His family abandoned him and his brother at a scary shelter because they were very poor. Looking for a loving active family who understands the rat terrier breed. Max is housebroken, up to date on his vaccinations, neutered and microchipped. He like all re-homed pets will need decompression time to feel secure in their new environment. He probably did not get much training from his previous owners, so we are looking for an applicant who is interested in participating in some basic dog training. To adopt Max please visit our website www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. Thank you.

Meet Sadie, a sweet two-year-old 43.7-pound beagle/treeing walker coonhound mix. For reasons that Sadie may not even know, Sadie was stray and living on her own for a while. She may have caught a scent, chased it, and gotten lost. She may have been abandoned by a Southern hunter. We don’t know. But we know she loves the comforts of her foster home. She very much appreciates a cozy bed, bath, and affection. She presented covered with ticks but has since been treated by the vet. She is up to date on all her shots now, spayed, and microchipped. She will make a very loving addition to an active family who understands and appreciates hounds. She loves everyone. She gets along well with other dogs.
