Story

Joey is an incredibly sweet, affectionate, and playful dog who loves to cuddle and make his people laugh. However, he is not a city dog—urban life truly overwhelms him. The constant noise, traffic, and commotion cause him significant fear and anxiety, which you can see in his body language: his tail tucks, he shakes, and he becomes visibly stressed even during short trips outside to use the bathroom. Joey has worked with professional trainers, a behaviorist, and is currently on medication to help manage his anxiety, but the environment remains too stimulating for him to feel secure. He does have some aggressive tendencies, particularly when on leash or around unfamiliar dogs, though he adores his 11-year-old Lab mix sister and gets along wonderfully with her. Joey thrives when he has space to run freely—his true personality shines when he’s off leash in an open area, where he’s happy, goofy, and at ease.

She’s friendly to her core and plays beautifully with other dogs. She greets humans with a happy wiggle, and believes belly rubs should be considered a universal right. Archidamia’s biggest dream?

K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.Foster Program: Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.

Story

Meet Baloo! 🐾✈️ This handsome guy made the long journey all the way from Djibouti and is now ready to find his forever home! Our best guess is that Baloo is a Basenji-Saluki mix, and he’s every bit as unique as that sounds. He has put on some healthy weight since arriving and is now 35lbs. Baloo has a gorgeous tan and white ticked coat and soulful eyes that tell the story of his journey. He can be a bit shy at first, but once he feels safe, his loving personality shines through. He warms up quickly to other dogs and will absolutely need a confident dog companion in his new home to help him continue to blossom. He has also gotten along great with the resident cat in his foster home. Baloo is crate and house trained and since being in his foster home has learned the ropes of life in a home—he has warmed up to his foster family and the resident pack. He came into foster care not knowing any basic house manners or training and is doing so great with a solid routine and continued reinforcement. He will need a patient adopter committed to helping him continue to become just as great as he can be! If you’re ready to help a special pup, write the next chapter of his life, Baloo might be the one for you. Baloo is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. Petconnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and the general appearance of the animal at the time they enter our system.
