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.

Story

🩷 Rescue Story Yeonji was first noticed near my home on two separate occasions after escaping from her leash. Each time, she appeared timid but showed strong affection toward people—wagging her tail, staying close, and following me quietly. Knowing where she lived, I walked her back to her home and politely asked the owner if he had lost his dog. The owner was a man in his nineties, living alone in a severely dilapidated wooden house, and he had noticeable difficulty communicating. Although Yeonji had willingly followed me until then, she immediately ran away the moment she saw him. Assuming she had simply wanted to stay outside longer, I gently took her leash and handed her back. The owner then tied her to an extremely short chain. Feeling uneasy, I stayed nearby instead of returning home. Shortly after, I heard Yeonji screaming. I rushed back and witnessed the owner striking her repeatedly with an iron rod while she lay on the ground crying in pain. As it was late at night, I intervened verbally and stayed outside the property for some time to ensure the abuse stopped. The following day, I returned in daylight and, with the owner’s permission, removed Yeonji from the property and secured her safety. She has been living in foster care ever since. 🌿 Temperament & Behavior Yeonji has limited experience with cats, but in brief encounters she showed no aggression and little interest. She is highly social with other dogs. During first meetings, she engages calmly through sniffing and exploration without any aggressive behavior. She is well suited for a multi-dog household. With people, Yeonji is initially shy and does not approach strangers right away. However, within about one to two hours, she relaxes significantly and begins to show affection. She is particularly fearful of adult men and may bark once or twice from a distance. This behavior is fear-based and not aggressive. 🚶 Walking & Daily Life When first rescued, Yeonji was very timid on walks and stayed close behind her handler. As she settled in, her young and energetic nature began to emerge, and she now shows some leash pulling. She is currently in leash training and continues to improve. Her shedding level is moderate, around 6 out of 10. She has no known food allergies and eats well without being picky. 🏡 Habits & Training Yeonji defecates exclusively outdoors. She may urinate indoors, but when a designated potty pad is provided, she uses it appropriately. Occasionally, she may mistake white rugs or similar items for a potty pad. She may whine briefly when someone leaves the house, but this does not last long and she shows no other signs of separation anxiety. She barks only occasionally when startled or frightened, such as hearing unfamiliar noises or someone suddenly entering her space. These barks are brief and non-aggressive. 💛 Likes & Personality Yeonji is extremely affectionate with people, especially with her caregiver. She enjoys playing with other dogs and likes toys she can hold and manipulate with her front paws. She does not have strong dislikes, though unfamiliar objects or situations can make her cautious at first. She is currently living in a foster home and has been with her foster family for approximately two months.

Story

🩷 Rescue Story Wory was originally rescued from a dog meat farm by another organization and later transferred to "Jeongeup City Shelter" in South Korea. Tragically, she was placed on the euthanasia list there. Just before it was too late, she was rescued and given another chance at life. Since moving into foster care, she has shown nothing but kindness and gratitude, revealing an incredibly gentle and loving heart. 🌿 Temperament & Behavior Worry is exceptionally gentle with other dogs. She gets along very well with them and is so mild-mannered that she sometimes gets pushed around without reacting. She is truly sweet-natured and non-confrontational. However, she does not enjoy dogs that approach her rudely or with overly intense behavior. She absolutely adores people—both adults and children alike. She often approaches first, offering affection and charming everyone she meets with her warm and loving personality. Her compatibility with cats has not yet been tested. 🚶 Walking & Daily Life Worry walks well on leash and enjoys taking her time to sniff during walks. She responds reliably when her name is called and stays engaged with her handler. Her shedding level is moderate, around 5 out of 10. She has a mild chicken allergy. While she eats well, she prefers her kibble mixed with something extra such as beef or sweet potato and may not eat plain kibble on its own. 🏡 Habits & Training Worry does very well with both indoor and outdoor potty habits, using indoor pads reliably (100%) and also going potty outdoors about 90% of the time. She truly enjoys baths and grooming and remains relaxed throughout. She does not have separation anxiety and stays calm when left alone. She may bark briefly when people arrive, purely out of excitement and happiness, but otherwise she is very quiet. She rides well in the car with no motion sickness. 💛 Likes & Personality Worry loves people more than anything—even more than treats. Human attention is her greatest joy. She prefers polite canine friends and feels uncomfortable around dogs that are overly pushy or lack manners. She is currently living in a foster home.
