Story
Hi, my name is Nala! My birthday is August 7, 2025. I am spayed and have all my puppy shots. As you see from my pictures, Im pretty darn cute. I am now in a foster home with a nice lady that rescued me from a very bad situation. My foster mom says that I am sweet, loving and smart. She loves that i am not a barker. The problem is that she already has 4 small elderly dogs. Since I am a puppy with lots of energy and want to play, they do not want to play with me, so that stresses them out. My foster mom loves me so much and this makes her sad, but she needs to find me a new forever home. My foster mom says I am active, but I also enjoy hanging out on the couch with my toys and watching T.V. with my foster family. I also go to the door when I need to go potty, but sometimes my mom has to remind me to go potty, so I do what she tells me. When we go to bed, I snuggle between my foster mom and dad and I sleep all night. I love that! Please consider adopting me and giving me a safe and loving home. I would love you forever and if I say so myself, I am pretty perfect!!

Story
Bill is a 2-year-old neutered male retriever mix with the perfect blend of adventure and affection. He can be a little bashful at first, but once he feels comfortable, his goofy, sweet personality shines through. Bill loves car rides, enjoys exploring at his own pace, and is always up for an outing.Despite his energetic side, Bill is also a world-class cuddler who’s happy to curl up in your lap and shower you with gentle kisses. He’s currently learning sit and working on walking politely on leash, and he’ll do best with a patient adopter who enjoys helping a dog grow and gain confidence.Bill is looking for a home that will build his confidence, give him space to explore without overwhelming him, and offer the perfect balance of adventures and cozy cuddle time.

Story
This gorgeous girl is June Bug, our friend from The Rescue Project. She's a lab mix and about three years old. But more importantly, she's a happy girl is so much fun! June Bug isn't just pretty. She has the smarts, too! She's very willing to work for people she likes (and food, she's willing to work for food). June Bug particularly enjoys showing people that she knows shake with both paws, as she's perfected that skill, and knows she'll get ... food! She likes learning new things, so go ahead and teach her all the fun stuff to help keep her mind busy. June Bug can be cautious around new people and things, but give her a chance and show her you're one of the kind, good humans. She'll love you to the moon and back and show you her snuggly, goofy side. She is worth your time, we promise. June Bug is looking for an adult-only home with a fenced yard, as kids can be loud and scary and apartments aren't going to work for her. She needs to be the only pet in her new home. Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more information. June Bug is staying in the KC metro, but transport is available to the right home. #thepetconnection #JuneBug #LabMix #DogTraining #DogLovers #RescueDog #AdoptDontShop #KCmetro #DogRescue

Male, 6 yrs 11 mos
Raytown, MO

Story
Rocky is a gentle soul who starts his morning with some stretches, downward dog yoga poses, and meditation (aka naps in the sun). He's a big chap at about 80 pounds, but don't worry, at just about five years old, Rocky won't be growing more! We recently learned that Rocky loooooooves to swim! Like, really loves it and could possibly be a water sports dog, too. He dives for the ball and really commits by putting his head and body under the water! This pooch has heart *and* skills, we're happy to report. He's also super cute -- bonus! You couldn't ask for a better pooch than this guy. He's intelligent, affectionate, loving, house-trained, and doesn’t chew on anything (except for toys and Benebone wishbones). Do you have a dog in need of a canine companion? Fantastic! Rocky adores the dogs in his foster home. He carefully picks out toys to share with them, and then they enjoy a good game of chase in the yard. He would also do great as the only pooch in his home if he gets plenty of attention from the humans. Rocky is not so much a cat guy, though. Rocky already knows sit, stay, come, touch, and shake. He loves earning treats by doing these tricks and could be easily trained to learn even more. Rocky takes treats so, so gently from your hand, too. (He's such a good boy!) Some of Rocky's favorite things are getting pets, riding in the car, being outdoors, playing with toys, and going on walks. While Rocky loves cuddling in bed with his humans, he patiently waits to be invited up, because he's polite like that. What Rocky would love to do most of all, though, is find his forever home. Please call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 if you're The One. If not, please share Rocky's information with everyone you know so you can visit Rocky at their house when he gets adopted. #thepetconnection
