Story
Swedan is around 5-6months old, he loves to play, he will give you his paw if you dudge his front leg(he hasnt done it for anyone else yet but does it to me sometimes) his nickname is big baby or babyboy cause he act like a baby sometimes. I hate to get rid of him cause he is a very good dog and I have no issues with him. He is a outside dog right now but his siblings didnt take long to be trained my friend has his brother.

Story
Boston is a 3 legged dog that came into the shelter as a stray so we don’t know his background. His age is estimated at 3 years. He is now neutered and on heartworm preventative (tested negative). Boston is now in foster care after being in kennel since February. He is a devoted friend and loves hanging out in yard with his foster parents and other dogs. He was curious about horse and cat but didn’t try to harm them. Boston’s breed is a guess but we are thinking Catahoula mix and weighs about 50#. If you’re looking for a devoted companion to spend time with...Boston might be your guy!<br>----------------------------------------------------------------- <br/>Visit our website at <a href=""http://www.stardogrescue.org"" target=""_blank"">http://www.stardogrescue.org</a>.<br> Visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SavingTheAnimalsOfRowan <br> Email us at star@stardogrescue.org<br> <em>When contacting STAR, please identify yourself as a local adopter, long distance adopter (indicate city/state), rescue, sponsor, or potential foster home/local volunteer in Rowan Co KY.</em><br/>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br> How big will this dog get?

Story
Axel is a laid back dog about 7 years old. He was a “neighborhood dog” for a long time and the college kids looked out for him. Everyone that he stayed with has now moved and he needs a new home. The down side is he doesn’t like cats and iffy about some dogs. On occasions he has shown jealously concerning another dog but he has also been allowed to roam loose with another large dog for a couple days with no issues. He’s also been fine with 4 20# dogs he let loose to join him one night. Axel weighs 60# and loves his human companions. He’s been at a kennel since February so please find room in your heart and home for Axel. He’s been neutered and tested negative for heartworms. If you would like to foster him for a while, that would also be great!<br>----------------------------------------------------------------- <br/>Visit our website at <a href=""http://www.stardogrescue.org"" target=""_blank"">http://www.stardogrescue.org</a>.<br> Visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SavingTheAnimalsOfRowan <br> Email us at star@stardogrescue.org<br> <em>When contacting STAR, please identify yourself as a local adopter, long distance adopter (indicate city/state), rescue, sponsor, or potential foster home/local volunteer in Rowan Co KY.</em><br/>-----------------------------------------------------------------<br> How big will this dog get?
