My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

For those of you who don’t remember Syd, she is the pit mix puppy who was attacked by another dog, spent time at @kingsburgvet and surrendered to PC. Syd has had a long recovery time, besides the initial injuries from the attack she had difficulty breathing. Our wonderful vet partner @kingsburgvet did various testing, x-rays, bloodwork, & cultures. While they were able to eliminate some disease concerns, we never were able to pin down the exact issue. Syd has a crazy overbite and still snorts when she breathes so it may be possible that her anatomy also contributed to some of her early breathing issues. The vet along with her foster mom provided Syd with supportive care to help get her thru the worst of her issues. It was touch and go for awhile and not being able to figure out a definitive answer was frustrating for everyone but we are just glad that she is doing better now and growing into such a good girl. Syd has been raised in a home with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and gets along with everyone. She is crate trained, housebroken, very treat motivated and is lower to medium energy level. She has completed her puppy vaccine series, microchipped, flea tick treated, dewormed, received her rabies vaccine and spayed.

If you would like to be considered for the adoption of a dog or puppy, please follow the steps below and submit an application through our independent process (Petfinder “matchmaking” emails are not part of our process and we are unable to respond to them). If you have questions you must reach out to us as we do not have the capacity to individually contact all applicants. You may call 559-393-1946 between 6PM and 9PM if you have additional questions AFTER SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. We hold adoption events at Petsmart San Jose every Saturday starting at 11am, and most of our adoptable dogs can be met by appointment at these events. Copy and paste the link below to submit a pre-screen application for the dog of interest, or find the link on our website www.pawsitiveconnections.org. Due to the overwhelming amount of interest our dogs receive, we unfortunately will not be able to reach out to all applicants who apply. If you do not receive correspondence from us, it is likely a reflection of the amount of applications we received. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScGSOxbGTIIintrGXUi8H-ddLv41aA0XUbELmNi0YhUIWQHRA/viewform /Adoption fee will include spayneuter, microchip, rabies vaccine (dependent on age), bordatella vaccine, parvodistemper vaccine (1-4 depending on age of dog), dewormer (2-4), monthly nexgard for flea and tick treatment./

More about this rescue

Pawsitive Connections Inc, is a no-kill, 501(c)3 nonprofit dog and cat rescue. We are not a breed or age specific rescue. We take in Chihuahuas to Great Danes and puppies to seniors. We also have foster hospice cases (fospice) who live out their life with us. We adopt out approximately 300 dogs per year in addition to permanently supporting non adoptable dogs who for either behavioral or medical reasons stay with the sanctuary. Those dogs get the same medical, food, preventive treatments and playgroup time as our adoptables.

Pawsitive Connections Inc is based out of Kingsburg, CA. Founded in the Spring of 2010, we provide the service of quarantining and/or fostering dogs and cats while following appropriate vaccination schedules, as well as providing any other necessary medical care or treatment. All our animals are micro chipped and spayed or neutered prior to adoption.

California's Central Valley is a hot spot for homeless pets. As an independent rescue, we partner with Central Valley animal shelters. These shelters are often inundated with large breed adult dogs who have lower adoption rates and have a higher risk of being euthanized due to lack of space in shelters. Presently, many of our adult dogs spend many months and sometimes even years with us due to lack of interest. Most of our dogs travel on Saturdays from Kingsburg to an adoption event in San Jose, California where adoption rates are much higher.

In addition, we often take on the extra cost of pulling medical case dogs from shelters. These dogs are not considered adoptable due to the shelter's inability to afford treatment and/or lack of staff availability to provide the necessary round the clock care, and would be at risk for euthanasia without this intervention. Shelters are often not equipped to house baby animals. In a shelter environment, puppies and kittens are at high risk for catching parvo, distemper, feline panleukopenia,FeLV, and other potentially deadly viruses. Pawsitive Connections Inc supports two feral cat colonies. For felines we take in special medical cases as well as one or two litters a year that we adopt out.

As a last resort, we continue to accept owner's surrender canines. We also provide the Last Litter Program where we work with individual owners that are having unwanted litters. As part of the Last Litter Program program we spay the mother dog, who remains with the original owner, and then we take in her puppies. In this situation, we often provide healthy dog food for the nursing mother. In some situations we provide puppy food for the puppies until they are ready to be transferred to the rescue.

After each dog or cat is medically and behaviorally ready for adoption, we strive to place them in their best forever home.
