Story
Meet Rico! Rico is a handsome 2-year-old Chow mix who weighs about 56 pounds and has a heart as big as his fluffy coat. This sweet boy was found as a stray in North Carolina and spent nearly a year at a shelter before making the long journey to Maryland in search of his forever home. Rico may be a little shy when meeting new people, but give him a little time and he’ll show you his gentle, affectionate nature. He’s been wonderful with other dogs and while not required, he would love a calm, confident canine friend to help him feel right at home. Rico's favorite pastime? Playing with stuffed toys—he’ll happily toss them around and keep himself entertained. He’s neutered, up to date on vet care, and ready to settle into a loving home. Rico isn't a huge fan of getting into the car (understandable after that 11-hour road trip!), but once he’s in, he rides like a champ. If you're looking for a quiet, loyal companion with a playful side and the sweetest soul, Rico may just be the one for you. Come meet this soft-hearted boy and let him steal your heart.

Story
Meet sweet Cookie! Cookie arrived with her daughter, Oreo, from Texas, and both are ready to find their forever families. Cookie is about 7 years old and 35 lbs of beauty! Cookie is incredible smart and eager to learn. She is good with dogs, cats, and kids. She is house and crate trained. Cookie loves exploring outdoors and her favorite thing is to go on walks. While she enjoys playing with other dogs, she's also very happy to hang out with you while you for your work or watch a movie. Cookie can be a bit shy initially, so she would do best in a home with another dog to help her build her confidence. She'd love a family that will be patient and give her a chance to come around. Once she learns to trust, she'll be your best friend. Cookie is spayed 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
Muffy came into my life after her previous owner passed, and she’s proven to be one of the sweetest, smartest dogs I’ve ever known. While she’s shy at first—she needs a few slow, patient meet-and-greets to warm up to new people—this loyal girl becomes a total lovebug once she trusts you. She’s very well-behaved, masters cues like “sit” and “come,” and adores daily walks or hikes. Muffy would thrive in calm, quiet home with 1-2 adults who understand her cautious nature. She’d do best in a home without cats or small children. She could enjoy a home with another friendly dog if it is the right fit (she can be particular about other dogs but there are some that she really loves). A securely fenced yard is a must, as she loves being outside. Muffy’s heart is full of love—she just needs the right person to give her time and space to share it. If you’re ready for a loyal companion who’ll repay your patience with endless devotion, Muffy is your girl.

Story
Jesse James is a calm, cool & collected easy going guy. The noise & confusion of busy events or barking & chaos of all the dogs never phases him. Jesse walks great on leash is crate trained and likes car rides especially if he gets to ride shotgun :)He likes to sit with his person watching what's going on- kind of like that "nosy neighbor.. but a LOT cuter :) It takes Jesse a little while to trust new people or to feel safe in new places but not too long. In no time he'll approach for pats or treats. Good with dogs and accepts pets from strangers or kids. Jesse James went from, the streets to a rescuer in Louisiana, then to a boarding place when his rescuer got very ill ;( His rescuer passed away and he was then transferred to a high kill pound in LA ;( Our rescue saw him with several other dogs who were from the same rescuer and decided to save two of them!! His friend was adopted pretty quickly but Jesse was more reserved and traumatized by all the changes in his life... I mean, as we get older we definitely are slower to adjust :) Now he is READY for his real family!! He is a great boy, and just like a chow he loves his people! He has waited for this opportunity so we are praying that the right family will see him and say... WE have been waiting for Jesse James too!!! ADOPT....DON'T SHOP!!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in tX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Catrina is a 1.5-year-old Australian Shepherd Dog/Chow mix with a low center of gravity, a thick coat of fluff, and a whole lot of personality packed into her 49-pound frame (she’s working on slimming down to a healthy 40—but don’t tell her that).This girl is obsessed with toys. Plush toys, squeaky toys, chew toys—she’ll happily empty the entire toy box and entertain herself with whatever she finds. Fetch is her favorite game, and she’s always up for a round of zoomies in the yard or a good long walk to sniff the neighborhood. She’s surprisingly athletic and would probably crush it in agility or obedience training.Catrina is very food motivated and already knows a few basic commands. She’s crate trained and does great overnight or while her foster is at work. House training is still in progress—but she’s getting there with routine and patience.Leash walking is also a work in progress. She loves her walks but gets excited by dogs, squirrels, and other Very Interesting Things. She’s stronger than she looks, so she’ll need someone ready to work with her on leash manners.Catrina gets along well with other dogs and would enjoy a playful companion, but she’d also be fine as a solo dog—as long as she gets enough activity and attention. She is shy with new people and appreciates slow, gentle introductions on her own terms. For this reason, she’d do best in a calm home without small kids and with an adopter who isn’t hosting a parade of guests every weekend.Once she trusts you, though, Catrina is loyal, silly, and full of affection. She’ll stay close, nudge you for attention, and supervise all your snack-prep activities. She’s a one-of-a-kind pup looking for someone who appreciates her quirky, playful nature and is ready to help her continue growing into the awesome dog she’s meant to be.If you’d like to take Catrina home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application. The adoption fee is $350 and and covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like this one for their forever homes. By the time you meet them, they’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. They’ve been checked by a veterinarian and are up to date on necessary vaccinations, including Rabies and DHLPP. They have also been tested for heartworm and tick-borne diseases and have started heartworm and flea preventative medication. Some of our dogs have even undergone extensi
