1. Pee-Wee
Young · Male · Bichon Frise / Maltese / Mixed (long coat) · 13 mi from Centertown






PEE-WEE IS READY FOR HIS PERSON!
At just
10 months old
, Pee-Wee certainly didn’t expect to find himself homeless and in rescue. This sweet boy was surrendered after it became clear that he wasn’t comfortable living with the family’s larger dog. Now we’re helping one of our rescue partners near the
Kentucky/Indiana border outside Evansville
find Pee-Wee the home he deserves.
Pee-Wee’s breed mix was reported by his previous family and seems fairly accurate, although
no DNA testing has been done
. But whatever his DNA says, we know the important part:
Pee-Wee is a phenomenal little dog.
❤️
Read more about Pee-Wee
He’s looking for someone who wants more than a dog sitting quietly in the corner. Pee-Wee wants a
person
. Someone with time for him. Someone who wants a companion to ride along, go places, explore, play, and simply be part of everyday life. We think he could make an amazing little traveling buddy for the right person.
Like many adolescent dogs, Pee-Wee can sometimes hump when he becomes nervous or overstimulated. It’s something that can be redirected while he gains confidence and learns what is expected of him. At only 10 months old, he’s still very much a youngster figuring out the world.
Most importantly,
Pee-Wee needs someone who isn’t searching for perfection.
He needs someone willing to give him the same thing we ask adopters to give our rescue cats: patience, stability, commitment and unconditional love. He’s already lost the only home he knew once. We want his next home to be the one he never has to leave. ❤️
Pee-Wee is
fully vetted
, and his adoption fee is
$350
. His rescue helps many cats as well as dogs that are older, medically needy or otherwise difficult to place. Adoption fees from fully vetted, highly adoptable animals like Pee-Wee help them continue caring for those animals whose expenses often far exceed their adoption fees.
Located near Evansville on the Kentucky/Indiana border
10 months old
❤️
Sweet, active and ready to be somebody’s best buddy
$350 adoption fee — fully vetted
Please share Pee-Wee!
Somewhere out there is the person who is going to look at that little face and say,
“You’re coming home with me.”

How to adopt from Kentucky Kitty Cats, Inc.
We generally adopt out fully vetted cats and older kittens, but we are attempting some new options. Since the covid we have taken in over 140 felines, and we are not set up for this. We have cats everywhere and lots of new fosters; many of which intend to adopt once cats are spayed/neutered.
Adopting a dog in Centertown
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
