But it wasn't the case. We guess "Baby," just felt the great Energy exuding from his Rescuer's home and he was drawn to the love. But Baby is far more than a gorgeous face; he's affectionate; he's loving; he's playful and he is wise. He's like an old soul in a year old 62 pound body. Here's what Baby's Rescue Mom says: "Believe it or not I still call him "Baby," He is an extremely affectionate fella! He loves to follow me around the house and he’s quite playful. He prefers to eat out of my hand versus a bowl. He does not go in a cage or a crate at all! if I need him to stay somewhere, I just toggle him and he’s fine with that. He would be wonderful in a family home without small dogs. I think he is OK with dogs his size or bigger. When it comes to sleeping at night, he’s quite independent. He likes to lay on the hardwood floors throughout the house. he likes to go for walks. I just have to remind him that he’s not pulling a sled. he is extremely smart and loving" To learn more on how bring a wonderful "Baby," into your home, write to us at adoption@shamrockpets.com Associated volunteer: Carmi View full description »

Some of the Many Reasons to Adopt Minnie! ? On the way back from Alabama some heartless human was spotted tossing a small black puppy in to a Dumpster. An odd time to drive by but thank goodness they made the only possible kind decision. Minnie would make the long ride back to Louisville. Not knowing how close she was to being another sad statistic she intuitively nuzzled up as close as possible to the humans who saved her. Now Minnie is ready for her forever home! There's so much to love about Minnie! What are the many reasons to love Minnie? Well...she's pint sized at only 17 pounds. Pretty easy to scoop up; can fit into tiny spaces (Including laps) Knows how to appear smaller by rolling up in a compact comfortable ball. Minnie? She's funny; entertaining and at only 6 months old Minnie is very much puppy. Minnie would do well with someone who will continue pawsitive puppy training and someone who is home more as she really likes (understandably) to have her human in her sight line. Minnie would do best with older children. With some loving patience and consistency this already amazing little girl will continue to blossom! One of the many other things to love about Minnie? Those EARS! Each ear has a mind of it's own. Sometimes the ears listen together and stand up straight! Sometimes they get a little lazy or happy and lay flat against her head Most times? One ear is up and one ear is down. Just one more of the many things that make our Minnie so special! If you'd like to talk more about adopting little Minnie we'd love to hear from you. Minnie had a tough start in life but we promised little Minnie no human will ever hurt her ever again!

It's little Mystic!! There truly is something very mystical and magical about this 10 pound 3 year old kiddo. Maybe it's the way he sits next to you (Straight up) on the couch so he can look you straight in the eye. Or the way he seems to have the most focused "I'm looking into your soul," expression or that intense stare when you're watching television and not quite paying attention to him... "Truth is Mystic is happy and content to be anywhere his human is. He's been known to sleep on a shoulder; in the nook of an arm; under the covers; if there's a space to cuddle? Trust us he's going to find it!! And if it that spot happens to be on you? Well all for the better! Mystic has been with a most amazing foster family (Thank you Angela and family) and he's been adored. Their love and patience has paid off in a most secure and loving and very fun and funny boy! Mystic would do well with another sweet dog. If children; older. This little "Houdini" can run and he can climb and and we know he can get into and under tiny spaces so a very secure above ground privacy fence is a must.

Willow was living the majority of her life in a small dog crate standing or lying in her own urine and feces - the fur on her paws was stained!
