Story
Meet Vivi 🐾❤️ Vivi is a beautiful Pointer/German Shorthaired Pointer/Hound mix with the sweetest soul and so much love to give. At just about 3 months old, this smart, cuddly girl is already stealing hearts everywhere she goes. She is spayed, playful, affectionate, and happiest when she’s close to her people—whether that’s curling up in your lap, following you around the house, or enjoying some front porch sittin’. Vivi has been wonderful with other dogs, does great with cats, and is already coming along with house training. She walks wonderfully on leash, which is amazing for a puppy her age, and she has already learned how to sit—such a smart girl! Vivi is also quite the little adventurer and absolutely loves car rides. Whether it’s a trip to the beach, a hike, a weekend getaway, or just riding along for errands, Vivi is always ready to be your copilot. She would thrive in a family that loves adventure and making memories, because wherever you go, Vivi is happily along for the ride. She has a gentle, loving personality and the perfect mix of playful puppy energy and calm, snuggly moments. Vivi is ready for a forever family who will love her, spoil her, and give her the happy life she deserves. In return, she’ll give endless kisses, loyalty, and unconditional love. Vivi is spayed and up-to-date on vaccines, and now all she needs is her forever home. Welcome to rescue, sweet Vivi—we know your perfect family is out there waiting for you! ✨ The adoption fee for this dog is $475 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
We are seeking a new home for our female German Shorthaired Pointer mix, born June 2020. She is spayed, healthy, and up to date on care. This is a very difficult decision, and our priority is finding the right, safe, and experienced home where she can thrive. About Her: • Well trained and knows basic commands • Crate trained and house trained • Good with other dogs and cats • Loyal, affectionate, and bonds closely with her people • Does best in a calm, structured environment What She Needs: She has resource guarding behaviors and is not compatible with children, so she must go to an adult-only home. Because of this, we are looking for an experienced dog owner who understands behavior management and is comfortable providing structure and consistency. She has many wonderful qualities and thrives with adults, but we want to be transparent to ensure the best possible match and long-term success. We are happy to provide additional details, vet records, and answer any questions.

Story
Meet Bubba! Rescued from a high-kill shelter, this is a big, lovable, playful guy who could be the newest companion to your pack!  With soulful eyes and a tail that wags for days, this four-year-old darling is a sweetheart who just wants to find and be with his people.  He is very house-trained, working on being crate-trained (going well), knows his name, “sit" and “down," and is non-destructive when left alone. Bubba is a polite house guest. He doesn’t bark at dogs or people as they walk by, both when he’s in the house or whenever out on walks.  Attentive and affectionate, Bubba is happiest on walks or runs, playing in the yard, chewing on his toys and lounging on the couch with his people. He is a big lap dog who loves to show love and get love in return. Though he is large, he is well-behaved enough for an apartment, as long as he gets enough exercise. But if he had his preference he would love a bit of yard to go along with his walks. (And he is always down for a walk!) He is an active guy who will walk/run/play hard and nap hard. He loves to romp around in the yard, sniff everything, play fetch, and has shown to be interested but not aggressive toward wildlife. He is eager to please, food motivated (good for training) and is a champ in the car. He responds well with firm/calm direction but also handles the noise of (a lot of) kids, play and laughter with ease. Bubba needs a loving household and a person/family who will continue to train him and treat him kindly. Bubba would be happy as your only dog or with another playful dog or dogs. He has socialized well with other medium and large dogs. He shows no food aggression or resource guarding. He would do well with younger and older kids alike. He isn’t totally aware of his size but will remind you of it when he gets excited, pushes into you for attention or play or when he lays on you for cuddles. With his loving and playful heart, Bubba is ready to find a forever family who will love him. Adoption fee includes: first 2 DAPP, bordetella, deworming, flea preventative, sterilized, heartworm test, microchip Adoption fee: $525.00   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have. The adoption policies and applications can be found at the following links: https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-cat and https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-dog. Email us at  adoption@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued cats. Email us at dogadoptions@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued dogs. See our calendar of adoption events at https://fancycats.org/(scroll towards bottom) You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please visit: https://fancycats.org/volunteerApril 28, 2026, 9:19 pm
