Bleu is a social butterfly who loves playing outside, snuggling on the couch, and being around peopleโ€”kids and adults alike! Heโ€™s gentle with children and just wants to be loved. While a little skittish at first, once he warms up, youโ€™ll have a best friend for life!

Meet Beau, a 6-month-old Great Dane who has joined our rescue and is currently undergoing medical evaluation. Weโ€™re working to diagnose the cause of his difficulty gaining weight and chronic loose stool, and heโ€™ll need specialized care in the coming months.

To support Beauโ€™s veterinary care, weโ€™ll be hosting fundraisers soon, but if youโ€™d like to help now, donations can be made here (please note it's for Beau's vet care): โžก๏ธ https://checkout.shelterluv.com/donate/kgdr

Beau is not yet available for adoption and wonโ€™t be for a few months. However, if youโ€™re interested in giving him a future forever home, you can apply now and note your interest in Beau:

Hey there, Iโ€™m Timber!

I know... I canโ€™t believe I havenโ€™t been adopted yet either! Seriously, what does a pup have to do to find a forever home around here? Iโ€™m only 1 ยฝ years old and the ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต boy youโ€™ll ever meet. I love everyoneโ€”even those fluffy meow-boxes (you humans call them cats, I think?).

I recently visited my vet friends, and they did something called a neuter and a gastroโ€ฆ gastropexy (whew, big word!). They say itโ€™ll help keep me healthier, so I was all ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ. While I was there, they also told me I have something called HOD (hypertrophic osteodystrophy). It makes me walk a little differently, but I donโ€™t let it slow me down! I love playing with my foster dog siblings and going on our daily walksโ€”stairs are a little tricky, but other than that, Iโ€™m just as happy and playful as any other pup. One of my favorite things? Splashing around in ponds!

Because of my HOD, I take a yummy joint supplement every day, and Iโ€™ll need it for life. But hey, if it keeps me feeling good, Iโ€™m totally cool with that!

When KGDR first took me in, I was pretty skinny and hungry, but now Iโ€™m a strong, healthy 130 lbs.! When my foster family leaves the house, I sometimes stay in my crate, but lately, theyโ€™ve been letting me roam free since Iโ€™ve been doing so well and not being destructive!

Now, letโ€™s talk about my dream home! Iโ€™d love a ranch-style house (stairs arenโ€™t really my thing) with another dog buddy to play with and a human whoโ€™s home most of the day so I donโ€™t have to be in that pesky crate too much. Iโ€™d also be great with kidsโ€”๐—œ ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ป, ๐—œ ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜†๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ!

Not to toot my own horn, but any family would be so lucky to have me as their best friend. My adoption fee is $500, but I promise Iโ€™m worth it! Iโ€™m already fully vettedโ€”neutered, gastropexy done, up-to-date on vaccinations, parasite and heartworm negative, and on my supplements and preventatives.

Meet Stella! She is a 6 year old female Great Dane mix. She is roughly 80 lbs. and a super sweet, affectionate pup!

She is good with kids and has previously lived with smaller children (gentle around them). She loves other dogs (very gentle) and does great at the dog park. She will chase outside cats, but when the cats are inside, she is curious and gently tries to check them out. She hasn't been aggressive toward cats, so it would be good to test her with them.

Stella is housebroken, and for crating, she hasn't been trained BUT when her foster is away, she has not been destructive. She is a smart girl, so she takes to rules well and eager to please. You will always be greeted by an excited, sweet dog.

Unfortunately, she can be leery of new men, so we recommend taking it slow for her to get comfortable with new people and then she is happy go lucky once she adjusts! One of her favorite things is going for walks and smelling all the smells. She does like to walk all over, so it would be good to continue her leash training.

Stella is spayed, up-to-date on her vaccinations, negative for parasites & heartworms and ready for find her forever home! Her adoption fee is $300. โค๏ธ

Zeus is a 1 year & 10-month-old black silky great Dane who loves companionship, whether itโ€™s playing with his foster dog brother or just being near his foster parents. Zeus loves his dog toys and will prance around with them to show them off and entice his foster dog brother or parents to try and take them from him. Zeus is a loving companion, super soft, and well-behaved boy.

Zeus is extremely smart and food motivated, which has made training easy. Zeus is house trained, crate trained, dog door trained and does not destroy property. Although he is crate trained, he has not been in his crate for several months now, because of how excellent he does while left out of it.

Zeus has not been without companionship, as he came to the rescue having previously been with a litter mate. Since coming to his foster family, he has had constant companionship with his foster dog siblings, so itโ€™s unclear how he would do if left totally alone. We feel that because of this, a home with another dog would be preferred. Zeus is great at meeting other dogs, and there have been no issues when greeting new dogs. Zeus has had limited interactions with children, but he has done absolutely fine when around kids. He welcomes any and all attention and does not know a stranger. However, like most Danes, he is unaware of his size and is a leaner.

Zeus does have an unidentified issue in his right leg, which we believe involves his right knee. The injury happened while he was with his previous owner and they did not disclose the injury, so the nature of it is unknown. This issue causes him to limp or occasionally lift up his leg. Zeus has been receiving treatment and medication for his leg and has been showing recent improvement. However, the possibility for further issues with it remains high. Despite this, Zeus does not let this slow him down one bit. He loves to play and chase his foster dog siblings around the yard. He also has learned to love car rides and will jump up in the car to go, and eagerly wants to go on walks. The walks have been limited to short distances and because of this, he still needs to learn better leash etiquette. Zeus likes to pull, as he is excited to be outside on a walk, but does just fine when encountering other dogs.

Unsure if itโ€™s due to his leg, but Zeus does not want to use certain steps. He refuses to traverse the steps to the basement, but he has been fine with all outside steps so far. Because of this, a 1 story house would probably be the best fit for him. He also has an odd unknown fear of not wanting to go into any bathroom of the house. Overall, Zeus is a sweet guy and gentle giant who would make a great addition to any family!

Zeus is up-to-date on vaccines and negative for parasites and heartworms. He has not been neutered yet to allow him to gain more musculature in his leg and since heโ€™s required sedation for X-rays and a biopsy. The rescue will reimburse the adopter up to $200 for his neuter.

Hoss is a senior Dane that has been with his foster for a couple months. Unfortunately, his foster has recently been admitted to the hospital and will be unable to continue to care for him.

Hoss has done well with other dogs he has met, but must go to a home with NO CHILDREN! Hoss does have anxiety that he is currently being medicated for. There have been occasional bouts of aggression that have resulted in two bites, one being over food. His foster has continued to work with this behavior, but his being gone has been hard on Hoss.

Hoss is updated on all vetting, including a neuter and gastropexy. Heโ€™s located in Mayfield, KY, but transport can be arranged.
