Story
AdoptAPet Inquires are not an application and will be ignored. Peanut is a 2 year old Basset Hound who amazes everyone she meets with her surprising athleticism. This girl is definitely not a couch potato. She can jump impressively high and will happily play for hours on end. She loves every new human and dog she meets and is always ready to make new friends. Her absolute favorite activity is playing bitey face and wrestling with her dog buddies, and she could do it all day if given the chance. She can get vocal when excited/playing. She enjoys sitting by the window and supervising the comings and goings of everything and everyone in her sight. Peanut loves going for car rides, walks well on a leash, is crate trained, and is a very smart girl who figures things out quickly, sometimes a little too quickly, as she has been known try to open things and help herself. She is very food motivated and will try to sample everyone else’s meals, so she’ll need a family willing to continue working on boundaries and manners. She also has no concept of personal space and believes she should be in her dog friends’ faces trying to play most of the time. Because she’s so athletic and playful, Peanut needs to be adopted by an active home with another playful dog. She enjoys tug and wrestling with other dogs, though she’s not big on playing with toys by herself and will need active engagement to stimulate her and get her energy out. She does have a prey drive and will chase squirrels. She is not a fan of cats. Peanut would do great in a home that will keep her active, continue her training, and give her lots of love and attention. Adoption radius 60 miles from zip code 20906.

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire athttps://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic.You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.Dog's Name:  Jameson  (JAM0226OWSMN) Estimated Breed:  Basset Hound Mix Approximate Age:  8-9 yearsApproximate Weight: 55 lbsCurrently Living at:  FosterAdoption Fee:  $300DOG'S DESCRIPTION:  Meet Jameson — an 8-year-young senior sweetheart who has officially mastered the fine art of relaxation.      Jameson is the definition of a couch potato with a heart of gold. He’s not here for chaos, drama, or cardio… but he is here for cozy naps, quiet companionship, and being your loyal shadow around the house. If you’ve been dreaming of a dog who’s happiest lounging beside you, Jameson is ready to apply for the position of full-time best friend. This sweet guy is crate trained, house trained, and also semi-stimulus collar trained. He’s lived the good life before and is looking for a calm, loving home to enjoy his golden years.     Jameson can get along with other dogs, though he hasn’t been introduced to new dog friends in a while. He’d likely do best with slow, respectful introductions. He’s not the type to demand the dog park lifestyle, but he’d be willing to go if it meant spending time with his person.     Jameson does have a sensitive side — he has a low tolerance for loud noises and fast movements, such as remote-control toys or running children. He also can be wary around unfamiliar men, like handymen or first-time visitors, so he’ll need a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time and love. Jameson would thrive in a quiet adult home (or a home with older, respectful kids) where life is peaceful and predictable.     If you’re someone with a soft spot for seniors and a heart big enough to offer comfort, stability, and love, Jameson will repay you with unconditional love, loyalty, and companionship. Apply today and don't let this one get away! Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.    Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. 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.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/ or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.orgSPONSOR ME! Help Save Lives!    Make a tax-deductible donation today and help save a life.

Story
Hi, my name is Waldo! 🐾 I’m a confident, happy-go-lucky pup with a big sense of adventure and an even bigger heart. From the moment I met my foster siblings, I jumped right in—literally! We were running and playing together right away, and they warmed up to me instantly (which I’m told doesn’t always happen). I love being part of a pack and naturally stick close to my dog friends on walks. If you call me, I’ll come running right back—no hesitation! I’m super food-motivated, which makes learning new things fun and rewarding. I’m also curious about the world around me—people, dogs, and all the interesting smells along the way. I might pause to investigate (or roll in something stinky…oops), but I’m easily redirected and eager to keep moving. Even with my short legs, I can keep up just fine—I recently went on a 3.5-mile adventure and loved every minute of it! When it comes to meeting new people, I can be a little shy at first, but give me a few treats and a little time, and I’ll warm up quickly. I’ve shown interest in other dogs on leash but haven’t had any negative reactions. I’ve even been doing well with a cat staying in my foster home! I’m still working on learning how to relax and settle down. I can get a little bit of FOMO (fear of missing out), especially if I think something fun is happening without me. I do best when I have guidance—like being on a leash, tether, or in my crate. I may take a few minutes to settle at first, but I’m getting better every day, especially when I have calm dog friends nearby to show me the ropes. I seem to be housebroken and am continuing to build great habits in my foster home. With a little structure, patience, and consistency, I’m going to make an amazing companion. Waldo is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. His adoption fee is $425, which includes routine vetting and care. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, loyal, and adventurous sidekick who will keep you smiling and moving, I might just be your perfect match. I can’t wait to meet you! 💛🐶 Waldo is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. Please contact svessali@petconnectrescue.org for any questions. 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.

Story
Mr Personality here! 😎 I am an adorable happy guy with good looks and dazzling eyes! I am front and center and greet everyone happily! I was dropped on a country road and promptly walked a half mile of a gravel driveway to scratch on their door and told them to let me in! I am a fun, loving guy with so much zest for a good time! I am not the protective dachshund, I am the Playboy Bassett! I love the other dogs and the foster home and really enjoy playing with any that will return the fun… from Greta Gremlin a 20# boston terrier also needing a home, to the 90# pit mix that cant keep up with me zooming under his body 😂. I love car rides, cats kind of intimidate me so I respect them, kids are great, men and women are all good, anybody who wants to play with me and tell me how gosh darn cute I am! If I’m getting scolded for doing something I shouldn’t have been, I flop on my back and move my paws up and down as if praying for mercy. It tends to work.😂 I don’t like being crated and I am good when I am left out. I will burst out the door and run down the street so that you have to chase me, so I am now required to have a fenced yard. It’s amazing how fast these short little legs can go! Foster mom has gotten me house trained, teaching me to back up at the doorway, and takes me on a daily 1 mile pack walk with six other dogs. I love to check out small dark places like empty cabinets and washing machine machines. Turns out I am heartworm positive… I have started my antibiotics and at the end of May I will require the first of three injections to kill the Heartworms. Adopter will need to follow the vet’s treatment schedule to make sure I get rid of them so they do not end up killing me. I need to be kept calm during June and July when the biggest treatments will be given as that is protocol. I could be easily amused with a ton of enrichment toys! I am very treat motivated!
