1. Harley

Adult · Male · Beagle / Mixed (medium coat) · 36 mi from Olive Hill

Harley has been with us for a while due to an abandonment situation. He was left on the back porch of a house without any supervision or companionship. As a result, he took a while to settle down. He was terrified of going to the vet but was neutered and got all his shots. Now he is a happy go lucky fella who gets along with other dogs (although sometimes he can be a bit much in play). He's good with kids.

2. Balloo

Adult · Male · Cattle Dog (medium coat) · 36 mi from Olive Hill

Balloo came to us from an unfortunate bite incident. His owner was trying to break up a fight with his four dogs and Balloo bit the owner on his wrist. From that point they advised us to come get him or they would euthanize him. Since he had to be held on a bite hold, we took him in. We were stunned at his submissive behavior and his overall friendliness. We believe the owner just got in the way of a dog quarrel. He walks well on lead and gets along well with most dogs.

6. Buster

Young · Male · American Staffordshire Terrier / American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 36 mi from Olive Hill

One of the most difficult decisions in animal rescue is when to euthanize a dog. As most veterinarians will tell you, they will only euthanize an animal for severe aggression or terminal illness. Buster, a pup under a year, was brought to two vets to be euthanized because he ate part of a porch. Both vets refused to euthanize him and the second call us for help in placing this sweet, wiggly pit. Appears to be good with other dogs and with people.

9. Percy

Young · Male · Mountain Cur / Mixed (short coat) · 36 mi from Olive Hill

Adopting a dog in Olive Hill

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.
