Urgent

Due to unforeseen circumstances and no fault of their own, Smiley and Dubby will lose their foster home at the end of this month.

We are desperately in need of another foster or adopter for either one of these great dogs.

Smiley is an XL Bully. She was bred to the point that she could no longer have pups and then found as a "stray". She was also found to have a mast cell tumor, which was successfully removed, and a subsequent gastric surgery. She is currently about 8 years of age.

Dubby came to us after he was tied to the gate of a local shelter and left there overnight. He has an old fracture of his front leg, which does not slow him down in the least. He is about 5 years of age now.

Both dogs are good with other dogs and do well with people of all ages.

Both dogs are fully vetted. If fostering, SOS will cover the cost of their vet care, food and supplies.

We will waive the adoption fees for the right adopter(s).

Please contact us if you're interested in fostering or adopting.

Smiley recently had an episode of vomiting, which required medical attention. We initially had her seen by our regular vet, where she underwent blood tests, x-rays, ultrasound. Since all of the diagnostic procedures were not showing any signs of concerns, we decided to treat her with fluids.

Sadly, this wasn't enough, and we opted to have an exploratory surgery done at Elk Creek Animal Hospital in Fisherville. Dr. Rohleder found that a part of her colon had folded onto itself, which essentially caused a blockage (which caused the vomiting), and he also found growths. These growths were of grave concern for him and for us. Of course, we had the growths removed and biopsied. Thankfully, they turned out to be benign, and Smiley responded well to the meds prescribed by Dr. Rohleder.

This episode was entirely unexpected and costly. The two vet bills added up to $1800 +

Chloe came to us in spring of 2025, after she lost her initial owner to violent crime.

Chloe was just a couple of pounds over weight, had ear and skin issues, as well as dental issues and she needed to be brought up-to-date on her vaccinations. Despite all of this, her foster calls her "Happy Girl".

This 7 year old Dachshund is lively, loves to go for walks, and enjoys car rides. Chloe is especially happy in the mornings, when her ears bounce as she trots. She enjoys chasing squirrels and letting her foster know when someone pulls up in the driveway. She loves spending time with her "person" and can be trusted home alone.

Please DM us if you are interested in adopting her. Our adoption fee is only $180.00

Please share.

Our Story

Save-One-Soul (SOS) is a Louisville, KY based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works towards improving the quality of life and welfare of pets in the Louisville and surrounding areas by providing veterinary care to un-owned or shelter animals that are in the most urgent need. After accepting animals into our program, we provide them with the urgent veterinary care needed to treat their condition before moving them into foster care. While in foster care, the animals get acclimated to a normal home life, and receive follow-up treatments, including routine veterinary care, thus allowing us to facilitate adoption into a loving and permanent home.

Save One Soul is an all volunteer, foster based rescue organization, dedicated to improving the health and living conditions of dogs in the Kentuckiana area.

Fosters and volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization. Fostering dogs is one of the most rewarding activities you can do: taking a dog that has gone through a tough time, and seeing him or her improve in terms of health and/or trust and self-confidence is truly priceless. As the foster provider, you are asked to take the foster dog to vet appointments, adoption events and other events. Save One Soul covers the veterinary expenses, food, and supplies.

Fostering is a great way of "test driving" a dog. Most likely, you will love each and every foster dog you take in, as if it was your own dog. Sometimes, the dog is a great dog, but there may be an owner out there that is better suited for the dog than you are. Other times, the dog is the perfect match for the foster family. While we cannot guarantee, we try our best to accommodate the wishes of the fosters with respect to adoption.
