Meet Shania: Curious, Happy & Full of Love

Shania is a 4 year old dog currently being cared for in foster care through Da Vinci's Dream, a foster-based nonprofit dog rescue in Kentucky.

Shania is a 4-year-old Bloodhound mix from our Double the Love Litter, alongside her beloved sister, Sasha. The two share a special bond and are looking for a home where they can continue life's journey together.

Shania is a curious, happy girl who enjoys seeing what's going on around her. Her cheerful personality and friendly nature make her a joy to be around, and she's always ready to greet the day with a wagging tail.

Along with her sister Sasha, Shania brings twice the love and companionship. Together, they enjoy spending time with their people and make a wonderful pair for a family looking to welcome two devoted friends into their home.

If you're looking for a sweet, happy companion—or better yet, two—Shania and Sasha would love to meet you.

HOW TO APPLY TO ADOPT

If you are interested in adopting, please understand that clicking Im Interested or submitting an inquiry through Petfinder is not an adoption application.

To be considered:

Submit an adoption application through our website
Our volunteer team reviews all applications carefully
Dogs are matched based on best fit, not first-come, first-served

Because we are a volunteer-run nonprofit rescue, application review can take up to 10 days, and sometimes longer depending on volume.

If you do not hear from us after that time, it means we have chosen not to move forward with your application.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT OUR FOSTER-BASED RESCUE

We are a foster-based nonprofit dog rescue located in Kentucky. Our dogs live in foster homes rather than in a public shelter setting, which helps us better understand their personalities, routines, and needs before adoption.

This allows us to make thoughtful placement decisions that support long-term success for both the dog and adopter.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSPORT INFORMATION

Although our dogs are fostered in Kentucky, we also offer transport for approved adopters in select locations.

Current transport locations:

Greenwood, Indiana
Wilmington, Ohio
Washington, Pennsylvania
Bordentown, New Jersey

Transport is available only after:

Application approval
Deposit payment
Signed transport agreement

A transport label means the dog may travel through our scheduled transport program once these steps are completed.

If the dog is listed and does not show adoption pending on our website, we are still accepting applications.

Please note that many dogs receive multiple applications.

Unless specifically stated in the dogs bio, assume potty training is still in progress.

THANK YOU

Thank you for considering adoption through Da Vincis Dream. Every adoption helps us continue rescuing dogs in need and placing them in loving homes.

The bloodhound is a large scent hound known for its exceptional tracking abilities. With a distinctive wrinkled face and droopy ears, these dogs have a keen sense of smell, second only to the beagle. Bloodhounds are gentle, affectionate, and good with children, making them excellent family pets. Their determination and relentless tracking skills have made them invaluable in search and rescue missions. Regular exercise and mental stimulation are essential to keep these intelligent dogs happy and healthy.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

At Da Vinci's Dream, our mission is to save and improve the lives of cats and dogs in need. We...
