Story
Whiskey (Male) and Shine (Female) are brother and sister, 4 year old chocolate Labs. They have been inseparable since birth and are two peas in a pod. They are very high energy and enjoy walking, playing, swimming, and chewing. They were adopted from a trusted AKC registered breeder and are pure bred. They are both fixed and unable to breed. Since they are litter mates they do not like to be separated and are exhibit high anxiety if they aren’t within eyesight of each other. Both dogs are accustomed to loose leash and leash free walking with training collars, obey basic commands, and love to snuggle. Whiskey (male) is extremely protective over his sister and doesn’t prefer other dogs be near her, even to play. I do not recommend homing these two dogs with any other dogs. They are sweet, lovable, and a lot of fun if given the proper attention and would love a home with some space to run.

Story
Jake is an approximately 7 year old pit mix. He is a mellow medium sized dog, about 75 pounds. He likes to walk, hike and play. He tolerates children well and loves to snuggle on the bed, when he’s allowed. We found him abandoned at a campsite 5 years ago. He was a bit wild, but house broken, when we first found him. He has been very responsive to training. He loves to walk, run and bike. He has been a loyal companion and a good dog. Unfortunately, we can no longer keep him. We want to place him with a loving family. He does well with humans and big dogs, he does not like small dogs and he is not sure what to make of cats.

Story
This is Pepper. She is a full blooded pitbull. She is 6 years old. Up to date on shots not fixed. Licensed in Louisville ky. My son got diagnosed with allergies and were no longer able to keep her. Here recently she has been getting aggressive with dogs and children she doesn't know. She will need to go to a home with no pets and no children. She is also very skittish with men. She has been a very calm since we've had her. We had a couple incidents with animal control that involved her and our other dog jumping the fence so if you are interested in her you will have to keep up with animal control.
