Story
Meet Ranger – The Sweetest Gentleman Around! Looking for a loyal, loving, easygoing companion? Ranger might just be your perfect match! Ranger is an adorable 33-pound Collie mix, approximately 8–10 years young, with a heart of gold and so much love to give! This handsome boy is an absolute dream in his foster home! He’s completely house-trained, sleeps peacefully through the night in his crate, and is incredibly well-behaved when left home alone. No destruction, no fuss — just a perfect gentleman who enjoys sitting on the couch, watching the world go by while patiently waiting for his people to return. What makes Ranger so special? *Loves other dogs! He’s met several neighborhood pups and has adored every single one. *Loves everyone he meets! Ranger has never met a stranger. *Wonderful house manners! Fully house-trained, quiet, and trustworthy when left alone. *Sleeps through the night in his crate without a peep. *Smart and food-motivated! He’s already mastered “sit” and is eager to learn more. *Rarely barks! Unless, of course, there’s a squirrel that needs his attention! Ranger is also discovering the joy of toys! He’s a little shy about playing in front of people, but his foster mom recently caught him having fun with one when he thought nobody was watching. And if you’re looking for affection, Ranger has plenty to share! No matter where you’re sitting or what you’re doing, he’ll gently tuck his sweet face under your hand to request his favorite thing — head scratches! He’s still working on his leash manners because his curious nose likes to lead the way, but he isn’t a strong puller. Ranger may be a little older, but he’s truly a gem! He’s the perfect combination of sweet, calm, friendly, and affectionate. All he needs now is a forever family to love him as much as he’ll love them. Could you be Ranger’s happily ever after? Apply to adopt this wonderful boy and give him the loving home he deserves! **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our adoption questionnaire.** As part of our Silver Paws program for senior dogs (7 years and above), this dog has had a thorough senior pet exam, complete bloodwork, and (if recommended by a veterinarian) a dental cleaning. The adoption fee for this dog is $250, which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. PetConnect Rescue is committed to the rescue and care of senior dogs and to providing their adopters with all of the information they need to set them and their new family member up for success.

Story
Meet BERNIE (fka Ernie)! Bernie is a sweet, playful, tail-wagging pup who loves to meet people of all ages! He is an adorable 11-12 month old, 45 pound tan and white smooth collie/pointer mix, with black eyeliner on his very expressive, sweet face! He has that young dog playfulness you'd expect from a 11-12-month old, but he also is smart and eager to take direction. As with any young dog, he will need to continue with some basic training to thrive. Bernie is dog-friendly and "just wants love." He is crate-trained. Poor Bernie was on the urgent list at a local overcapacity shelter -- volunteers made an urgent plea to save this sweet boy. With an offer from a great foster, we were able to pull Bernie to freedom and he is very happy to find his forever family! Bernie seems to be the kind of young dog who is excited about life, interested in the world around him, and ready to connect with someone who will give him the attention, guidance, and affection a young dog needs. He would be an excellent new member of the family and is eager to find a family to love! **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our adoption questionnaire.** The adoption fee for this dog is $425. Routine vetting and spay or neuter surgery are included in the adoption fee. For more information, please email rturner@petconnectrescue.org

Story
Meet David Bowie! Take one look at my photo and you’ll see how I got my name: one ice-blue eye, one warm brown eye, and two giant radar ears! I’m David Bowie, a one-year-old Collie/Husky mix, and at an easy 32 pounds, I'm the ultimate compact companion. I'm naturally shy around new people and take my time warming up, but once I know I'm safe, I soften right up. In the house, my foster mom says I’m remarkably calm and chill. I don't bark, I listen well, and I have an easy, peaceful routine when it’s time to go to bed. Loud noises and fast movements make me jump, and I can be a little head-shy at first, but once we're bonded, my favorite move is sticking right against your legs like a little shadow. (I take treats with the gentlest mouth, and I just ask for a quiet corner to eat my dinner in peace! ) Other dogs are where my goofy side comes out! I play so nicely with furry friends and even threw a play-bow to my own reflection in the mirror. Having a confident, friendly dog sibling at home would be huge for showing me the ropes. Because quick movements still startle me, a patient, low-key home without young kids is where I’ll do best. I’m already neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all my vaccines. If you have a soft spot for gentle souls and an easygoing pup at home to be my guide, come say hi! ##2841879##

Story
Meet Duffy — a gorgeous young collie with a bright smile, a playful spirit, and so much love to give to the right family. Born on October 13, 2024, Duffy is still very much a puppy at heart. At home with the people and dogs he knows, he is affectionate, silly, and incredibly loving. He adores snuggling on the sofa, handing out enthusiastic kisses, and spending his days playing with his canine friends. He requires a home with another young, playful dog and a large fenced yard where he can run, wrestle, and burn off his youthful energy. Duffy is also a smart and well-mannered boy. He is neutered, housebroken, well trained, and generally a wonderful house companion — though he does occasionally enjoy “redecorating” with any paper products he can find. Like many young dogs, he’s still discovering what counts as a toy! What Duffy truly needs, though, is a patient and understanding adopter. New people and unfamiliar environments can make him nervous, and he tends to express that uncertainty by barking. He is not aggressive at all, but he does need time, slow introductions, and consistency in order to feel safe and comfortable. Once he trusts you, his sweet and loyal personality shines through beautifully. Duffy is not the kind of dog who will walk into a new home and instantly act like he’s lived there forever. He’s the kind of dog whose trust is earned — and for the right person, that bond will be incredibly rewarding. Watching him grow in confidence and blossom into the happy, loving companion he wants to be is something very special. He’s also going to be absolutely stunning as he matures. Already tall and handsome, Duffy’s full collie coat is still coming in, and he is only getting more beautiful with age. Duffy is looking for a calm but active home, a playful dog companion, and people who understand that some sensitive dogs simply need a little extra time and patience. In return, he’ll give endless affection, loyalty, laughter, and love. If you are interested in rescuing a collie, please complete this short adoption questionnaire. Our standard adoption fee is $450. This fee helps us to cover (and sometimes only partially cover) the expense of providing each dog with a Health Exam, Rabies/DHPP vaccines, Heartworm Test, Heartworm Preventative, Flea & Tick Protection, Microchip, Neuter/Spay, a Bath and any other medical needs.  Thank you for your consideration in adopting a collie in need!!!

Story
Meet Kodo — a smart, playful, and adventurous pup looking for room to roam! 🐶❤️ Kodo is a 7-month-old mixed-breed puppy with a wonderful combination of intelligence, curiosity, independence, and affection. For such a young dog, Kodo has already developed some great habits! He knows his basic obedience commands, is crate trained, and can settle calmly on his bed when directed. He's comfortable entertaining himself, making him a playful yet self-sufficient companion. Kodo absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys socializing, playing, and exploring. This active, athletic youngster thrives with plenty of space to stretch his legs and burn off puppy energy. His ideal environment would be a quiet country home with a large yard or plenty of open space—somewhere he can enjoy outdoor adventures, room to explore, and a peaceful place to relax afterward. He needs slow introduction to new things as he gains confidence.

Story
Located in Alexandria, VA Meet Carmie! 💕 QUIZ: DO YOU QUALIFY FOR THE CARMIE VIP LIFESTYLE? Some dogs are built for any old boring routine. Carmie? She requires a fun and active lifestyle. If you answer YES to the following criteria, you might just be the chosen one destined to adopt this Laughing Buddha lookalike. YOUR HOME IS A "NO PETS, ALL PEOPLE" SANCTUARY • The Lifestyle Fit: You want a ride-or-die canine companion, and your home is free of other dogs and felines. • The Carmie Reality: Carmie wants to be the undisputed center of your companion animal universe. In return, she offers universal love. She is obsessed with all humans—every age, shape, size, and color. If your lifestyle involves hosting friends, greeting neighbors, and being the popular house on the block, Carmie will act as your official welcoming committee. YOU WANT AN ADVENTURE CO-PILOT • The Lifestyle Fit: Your weekends involve road trips, exploring new places, and occasional home improvement projects—and you like a clean car. • The Carmie Reality: Carmie has a 100% perfect track record of never getting carsick. She is crate and potty trained, handles road trips like a seasoned pro, and knows plenty of commands (which she will happily perform... when she feels like it). Her favorite places include Lowe’s and Home Depot, where she charms shoppers with her Laughing Buddha smile and crinkly eyes. YOU’RE HAPPY TO SHARE CHORES • The Lifestyle Fit: You find laundry tedious, wish you had a fuzzy foreman to supervise, and wouldn’t mind a canine surveillance camera either. • The Carmie Reality: This 1-year-old, 40-pound, adorable girl has that cattle dog vibe and loves jobs. She actively helps get clothes out of the dryer and runs strict quality control to ensure no socks or underwear are left behind. Plus, she guarantees 100% protection against completely undetectable security breaches. YOU THINK "WALKIE-TALKIES" INVOLVE SNEAKERS, NOT RADIOS • The Lifestyle Fit: You view daily walks as an engaging team sport, not a mindless chore where you stare at your phone. • The Carmie Reality: Carmie is working hard on her leash reactivity and needs an active handler who can continue her "Walkie-Talkies"—structured walks where we train with high-value treats. She would also benefit from a fenced-in yard where she can zoom safely when she’s not out on official training missions. YOU DON’T TAKE LIFE (OR TOOTS) TOO SERIOUSLY • The Lifestyle Fit: You have an easy sense of humor and want a dog who makes you laugh whether she means to or not. • The Carmie Reality: Carmie is the reigning champion of Mrs. Steal-Your-Seat. You’ve been warned. You must also be okay with a dog who occasionally startles herself with her own toots and literally "talks" back when she's annoyed with you. THE VERDICT • If you answered NO: No hard feelings! The Carmie Reality isn't for everyone. • If you answered YES: You have found your canine soulmate. Carmie has a managed heart condition (ventricular arrhythmia), but that doesn't slow her down. She just needs a family who will commit to her medication schedule. As she’s not quite a puppy and not quite an adult, Carmie also needs pet parents who will continue her good dog training. She comes with six virtual training sessions with a certified trainer in the first 60 days to help you start off strong together! And the secret weapons to getting her to behave are ham and cheese and cheek scratches.
