Breed: Border Collie (?) mix
Sex: Female spayed

General information: Velvet is such a sweet girl. She’s learning her basic commands in our canine-inmate program and is very motivated by praise. She is affectionate with her person and will bond closely. She came from a rural county and probably hadn’t had much socialization. She’s friendly to everyone she meets but it might take her a moment to feel brave. She is crate trained, likes other dogs, and will let you know when she needs to go outside. She will do well in a variety of households as long as she continues to get positive reinforcement and consistency.

Andy

**Adoption currently on hold as we are unable to schedule meet & greet appointments with the recommendations from the CDC to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.**

Breed: Mixed breed
Sex: Male neutered
Estimated birthdate: January 2017
Size: M, 52 lbs
Good with cats: unknown
Good with kids: unknown
Housebroken: yes
General information: Andy is an all American mixed breed…possibly some Border Collie, maybe even some Beagle…but it’s hard to say. He is a favorite in our canine-inmate program and his handler there says that Andy is one of the best he’s ever trained. He knows his commands, isn’t destructive, loves to play fetch and play with other dogs in the program. He’s an excellent walking buddy but isn’t super high energy. He’ll curl up with his ball in his mouth and lay by your side at the end of the day. Andy will be a great companion for a family or an active individual.

Gretel

Breed: Mixed unknown
Sex: Female spayed
Estimated birthdate: 7/2019
Size: S/M, est. 25-30 lbs full grown.
Good with cats: unknown
Good with kids: unknown
Housebroken: yes with consistency
General information: Gretel is a really sweet girl who’s a bit on the shy side. She likes other dogs and one on one time with her person. If she gets a little overwhelmed she simply goes to her kennel and lays down. She came in with her brother, Hansel, who is also in our program. Neither of them seemed to have had much “dog experience” prior to joining us, but both have already learned so many new things. Stairs were a bit of an obstacle at first, but they’ve mastered those as well. Gretel will do well in a household that encourages her to continue to blossom. We have not tested her with kids but suspect that she’d be just fine with them, specifically 5+. She’s camera shy and therefore hard to photograph, but once you meet her in person you’ll see how pretty she is!

Hansel

**Adoption currently on hold as we are unable to schedule meet & greet appointments with the recommendations from the CDC to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.**

Breed: Mixed
Sex: Male neutered
Estimated birthdate: May 2019
Size: M, estimated 35-40 full grown
Good with cats: unknown
Good with kids: unknown
Housebroken: yes
General information: Hansel should’ve been named Handsome…just look at that face. He’s a beautiful, medium sized mixed breed, possibly some Beagle in there but hard to say. Regardless of his mix, he’s a sweetheart! He came in with his sister, Gretel from a rural shelter in Kentucky. Hansel is more reserved initially, once he has a few minutes to get to know you, he’ll be your biggest fan. He is part of our canine-inmate program where he will be working on basic commands and general socialization. As with any young dog, it is important to remember that training is an ongoing part of their health and happiness along with daily exercise! Please submit an online application to meet Hansel.
