About Sweetie

Sweetie is looking for a gentle, patient foster or foster-to-adopt home that can give her the time and safety she needs to come out of her shell. She’s a smaller medium-sized Black Mouth Cur mix, about 3 1/2 years old and still a bit underweight at roughly 31 pounds. Sweetie moves through her days quietly—she relies on people to carry her outside for potty breaks, eats her meals in silence, and usually finds comfort curled up in a quiet corner. The world feels overwhelming to her, and she hasn’t shown interest in toys, snuggles, or much exploration yet. Compassion and a calm home are essential for her recovery. She won’t be the dog that instantly seeks out cuddles or play—but there’s hope that with the right person and maybe another confident dog, her true personality will slowly emerge. Sweetie is house trained, gets along with other dogs, and will have cat testing arranged if needed for a foster home. Humane Society of Oldham County will provide everything except the love and space she needs to start over. Give her the chance to discover kindness and safety in her next chapter.
