To learn more about Grumpy, please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Grumpy will be at one of our adoption events this weekend! Visit our event page (https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/) to see which one—event listings are usually updated on Fridays with attending dogs. Much like Snow White’s dwarf, the name Grumpy doesn’t describe his true nature. He is a high-energy, strong, extroverted, playful pup who is bursting with enthusiasm and ready to share it with anyone willing to keep up. He needs to brush up on his walking etiquette because he just gets so excited to explore the world. Grumpy is a bit of a jumper and throws all of his energy into playing. He is ready for a new home life and seems willing to follow the leader of the pack if he has dog siblings.

Story
Meet Odie, an adorable German Shorthaired Pointer puppy. This tiny puppy has a huge heart. He was surrendered to a very high-kill shelter in Virginia simply because his owner no longer wanted him. Despite everything he has been through, Odie is affectionate, loving, and incredibly sweet. He loves attention and is happiest when he is close to people. At such a young age, Odie deserves the chance to grow up in a safe, loving home where he will be cherished as a member of the family. Odie is looking for someone who will make a lifelong commitment to him and show him the love and security he should have had from the beginning.Accuracy is not guaranteed; however, information provided is accurate to the best of our knowledge.  For more information on the pet, please send an email to info@aforeverhome.org August 23, 2026, 4:19 pm

Story
IF YOU ARE VIEWING THIS LISTING ON PETFINDER OR ADOPT-A-PET, please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to access adoption requirements, more information and pictures. Meet Amelia! Amelia is about 4 months old and weighs about 18 lbs. We have no idea on breed mix, but our guess is German Short hair Pointer/Hound - JUST A GUESS. Amelia is a happy, playful and sweet puppy. She is at her happiest when she is sitting in your lap:) Amelia is great with the resident dogs in her foster home. Amelia is doing great with her house training. Amelia sleeps in her crate through the night. Amelia is ready for any adventure and is happy when she has a lap to sit on. Because Amelia is a young puppy, the adopter must be home during the day to continue training and socialization and help the puppy grow into a confident, well-adjusted dog. This puppy has age-appropriate vaccines, is microchipped and will need to be spayed/neuter at 6 months of age. The Adoption Fee for this puppy $400.00 ***You must be at least 25 years of age to adopt from CKRescue*** The adoption fee for this dog is $400, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. This fee DOES NOT INCLUDE spay/neuter if the pup is not already spayed/neutered. If the animal you are adopting is not already spayed/neutered, you will be required to sign a contract legally obligating you to have the animal altered. A $100.00 fee will be returned to the adopter once the animal has been sterilized. We will provide information on this process during the approval process. ***Note that puppy adoption fees most often help generate revenue that goes towards older, special needs animals that need our help. Surgeries, heartworm treatment, boarding costs and/or all things that often result in adoptable dogs and cats being left behind to be euthanized. So, adopting a puppy saves not just one life, but many! ***Please note that our first step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important to us, thus we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Our organization 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/or the general appearance of the animal. **Please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**

Story
Hi, I’m Tilly! I’m two years old, about 55 pounds and 23 inches of knee-high perfection. My best guess is that I’m a Harrier hound, or small English Foxhound—I’m stocky, with a beautiful square head, but I don’t howl or even bark much. What I do have are the most gorgeous multicolored spots… and yes, I’ve been told I’m simply beautiful. I humbly agree. 😉 During the day, I’ve settled into a classic hound routine: exploring the backyard, playing with my foster siblings, breakfast, a nice nap, walk time, and then repeating the fun until it’s time to crash on the couch for the evening. I also sleep through the night outside of a crate, which I really prefer since I spent too many hours in one in my previous life. 😔 True to my likely heritage, I love running the yard with my nose to the ground, catching scents like the little explorer I am. Adventure is definitely my middle name. I can’t tell you exactly what my early life was like, but my foster family thinks I may have been a hunting dog who missed out on a lot of puppyhood—so now I’m soaking up the world with joyful enthusiasm and making up for lost time. The good news is that I’m proving to be a wonderful companion. I ride great in the car, I am extremely affectionate and seem to love all people, and I’m great with other dogs. I’ve even done wonderfully at adoption events, happily meeting new friends and soaking up attention. I’m still polishing a few skills in my foster home (think of it as finishing school!). This might be my first time being a true family dog. The best part? I absolutely adore my people—hugs and pets are the best! So if you’re looking for a freckled, fun-sized explorer with a playful heart — who had a rough start in life likely in a kennel for a good part of it — and a whole lot of love to give, I’m your girl. And remember - life’s just better with spots. 🐾 Tilly 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.
