Adult Dogs for Adoption in Louisville, KY: 30 Grown-Up Dogs Looking for a Home

Meet SNOWBALL, a fluffy little poodle mix boy looking for a home. He's an energetic young goofball. Snowball is 1 year old and we're told he was purchased as a Maltipoo. He's fully grown, currently 17 pounds but could stand to add a pound or two. He's energetic, playful and good natured. He needs a little work on his manners, nothing major, mostly he's just a little too enthusiastic. Snowball really needs the companionship of another playful dog. He's not ready for lapdog life, this boy wants to have FUN!! Snowball's scruffy coat will require regular grooming, his adopter should be prepared for that expense. His coat is really short right now, we aren't sure if he was shaved down before he was surrendered to a shelter. If you'd like to meet Snowball, please fill out a dog adoption application at
dreamhouserescue.org.
We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Snowball at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate.

MIMOSA is a lovely little beagle mix girl looking for a home. This stunning young dog is sister to Aspen and Cedar but looks less beagly than her siblings.

She loves toys and loves to run and play with her doggie friends. Mimosa needs a home where she'll have a friendly dog playmate. She is uninterested in cats. Mimosa has some scarring on her back from an old wound. Something happened to her as a young puppy (we have no clue what happened). It almost looks like a cowlick now. If you'd like to meet lovely Mimosa, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Mimosa at our weekly adoption event, Saturday 11:30am-1:30pm at PetSmart Eastgate.

How cute is CEDAR? I mean seriously, how can you resist that sweet face? Beagle mix boy Cedar is 10-12 months old and fully grown at 19 pounds. If he looks a little familiar, he is Aspen's brother. Aspen has already found a home but her sister (Mimosa) and brother are now available! Cedar is a friendly, playful boy. He's a little timid in new situations and when meeting new people but warms up quickly to kindness. Cedar needs a home where he will have another friendly, playful dog. Cedar ignores kitties. If you'd like to meet Cedar, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter.

I'm a sweet energetic gal. House broken, crate trained, good with kids and other dogs. My parents took in some long term guests into the home, with the crowding and delicate nature of some of the new residents, I had to start spending a lot more time in the yard. I get bored sometimes and get into trouble in the yard. They said I am good in the house though, so they let me have run of the house while they are at work. I'm really hoping that I can find a new family to love me and let me be a central part of the family again.

LICORICE is one tiny little cow! Actually he's a lively little mixed breed boy looking for a home. He's a terrier mix-type, about 1 year old and fully grown at 12 pounds. What breeds? Really it's anyone's guess -- could be part rat terrier? Jack Russell terrier? chihuahua? Whatever the mix, Licorice is fun, energetic, friendly, good with other dogs, but one thing he's not is a lap dog. Licorice likes to GO. He'll cuddle when playtime is over, but this little guy needs to run and play and burn up some energy. He's best suited to a home where he will have another doggie playmate. Licorice is housebroken and crate trained and fine with cats and other dogs. If you'd like to meet this adorable little spotty boy, please fill out a dog adoption application at

This little guy is a certified snuggle specialist! He loves being held, cuddling up close, and soaking up all the belly rubs he can get. If you’re looking for a pint-sized companion who wants to be your little shadow, he might just be your perfect match!

A little about me:

Tiny but mighty: Just 5 pounds of pure cuteness!

Professional cuddler: Loves being held, snuggled, and pampered.

Furry-friend approved: Gets along well with other dogs and cats.

This boy stole everyone’s hearts yesterday! He showed off his tricks at Tractor Supply, was a pro for his bath, played in the yard, and then took a nice long nap.

He headed to the vet and was the perfect gentleman! He got his vaccines and medication for an ear infection, but otherwise received a clean bill of health. He was already neutered, too!

McRib is now safe with his lifesaving foster, Amy, where he’s enjoying the backyard and playing Frisbee. He LOVES people and just wants to be wherever you are!

Meet Billy Beau! At just about a year old, Billy Beau is one handsome little guy with a gorgeous chocolate-colored coat and an adorable look all his own! He’s a smaller-sized dog with some surprisingly long legs, and we’re guessing he may have a little Dachshund mixed in there somewhere.Billy Beau is still getting settled into rescue life, but so far he’s making a great impression. He’s been around several dogs with different personalities and has done well with both the laid-back pups and the more playful ones. He’s also been around cats and has shown some curiosity, but we haven’t seen any concerning behavior.He’s currently enjoying the good life, catching a nap on the couch, and looking pretty darn comfortable doing it!We’re still getting to know this sweet boy, but so far Billy Beau is proving to be a pretty easygoing little addition.

Meet Zoe — Our Spicy Little Shih Tzu
Zoe is about 7 years old and full of personality.
She’s a classic shih tzu with a cute face, a big attitude, and a whole lot of opinions about how the world should work. Zoe can be nippy and snappy, especially with new people or when she feels unsure.
She’ll need an adopter who understands that some dogs need time, patience, and structure to feel safe. The right person will go slow, set boundaries, and let Zoe settle in at her own pace.The good news? Zoe is very treat‑motivated, which makes training and trust‑building much easier.
Once she decides you’re her person, she’ll show you her sweet side — but she needs someone willing to put in the work to get there.
Zoe should go to a home with no young kids, and ideally someone experienced with small dogs who have a little spice.
If you’re the kind of person who loves a project pup with a big personality, Zoe might be your girl.

ZOE'S ADOPTION FEE IS $200
