🐾 Meet Mateo! 🐾
This handsome boy has been at the shelter since September due to neglect, but despite his rough past, Mateo has come out on the other side as a true champ! ❤️
Mateo is about 1 1/2 years old and weighs a solid 56 lbs. He is very active and incredibly loving—if you’re looking for a dog who will play fetch all day long, he’s your guy! With his mix of Cattle Dog, Blue Heeler, and Retriever, he has a high drive and will need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation.
🏡 Mateo would do best as the only dog in the home. He does well with children, but due to his high energy, older kids may be a better match. He also needs an active family willing to work with him on his leash manners—he’s a strong puller and may do better on a harness.
If you’re ready to give Mateo the forever home he deserves, please call the shelter at 270-821-8965 to schedule a meet-and-greet!
Please share far and wide to help Mateo find his perfect family!💙

🐾 Tippie Needs a Forever Home! 🐾
Sweet Tippie is still waiting for her family! 💔 This adorable shepherd mix came to the shelter with her littermates in November, meaning she’s spent over half of her 6 months only knowing shelter life.

She is great with other dogs and children who have visited the shelter!
Interested in a meet & greet? Call us at 270-821-8965!
Her adoption fee covers her spay, rabies vaccine, and microchip. If you’re interested in adopting or fostering Tippie, please fill out the application online.
Please share and help Tippie find her happily ever after! 🏡💖 #AdoptTippie #RescueDog #ForeverHomeNeeded

Why Should You Microchip Your Pet? This is Why!
Meet Piper and her incredible story! 🐾❤️ So many animals come to the shelter as strays, and without identification, we have no way of knowing where they belong. If they had been microchipped, they could have been reunited with their families in no time!
Don’t take the risk—microchip your pet today for just $24 + tax. It’s a simple, lifelong way to ensure your furry friend finds their way back home if they ever get lost.
📞 Call 270-821-8965 to schedule your appointment and give yourself peace of mind!🏡🐶🐱 #MicrochipYourPet #Reunited #PetSafety #PeaceOfMind

Meet Lightning!
This sweet boy has found his way back to the shelter through no fault of his own. Lightning was adopted in 2024 but sadly returned when his owner faced health issues and could no longer care for him. 💔
🐾 What makes Lightning special?
- He walks well on a leash and is great with kids.
- The stress of being back in the shelter has made Lightning nervous, and he’s longing for a loving forever home.
- His adoption is fully sponsored, meaning there’s no fee to take this wonderful boy home!
If you have room in your heart and home, Lightning would love to be part of your family. ❤️ Call the shelter today at 270-821-8965 to schedule your meet and greet! 🐶✨ #ForeverHomeNeeded #ShelterDogsRock #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #shelterdog #BreakTheStereotype WE DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THIS MUSIC
