Story
Little PrinceMEET MR. BABY!   Mr. Baby is an adorable, sweet ~2 year old little boy who is housebroken, crate trained and walks well on a leash. He is fine with other dogs, although he definitely wants to be in charge (like the little Prince he believes himself to be) and tries to boss his 75 pound bully-mix foster sister around. He absolutely loves cats and is very frustrated that the cats in his foster home don't want to play with him. He loves to play and actually fetches!     Mr. Baby was obviously well taken care of before he found himself homeless and in the shelter. While there he was terrified and wasn’t himself but quickly relaxed and started to shine when he landed in his Tara’s House foster home. It didn’t take long to learn that he loves snuggling with his person. He also likes to be gently brushed and actually seems to appreciate when you take care of his coat, although he doesn't like his paws combed.    Mr. Baby's perfect home would have a calm person who wants a lively and loving little companion. Mr. Baby would be good with a friendly dog that doesn’t mind being bossed around and friendly cats. He is truly a pleasure to wake up to and will definitely enrich his new person's life. As with any small dog, small kids are generally not a good mix.   Mr. Baby’s adoption donation fee is $450, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for him by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org.  Please email us at info@tarashouse.net with any questions.January 1, 2026, 5:37 pm

Story
Meet Khloe! This little Maltese lady somehow looks like a literal baby doll. Khloe spent her ENTIRE life with one family, but as time passed, kids grew, and Khloe aged, they felt they could no longer care for her. So here she is, starting over in her golden years. It’s easy to see that her heart is a bit broken, but she's settled into her foster home beautifully. Khloe's foster mom describes her as the sweetest, gentlest, most demure and unassuming little princess. A true sleeping beauty, she happily curls up and naps the majority of each day. Initially a bit hesitant about venturing into the yard, she now enjoys sniffing around and exploring. She’s a picky eater but has made her preferences clear: Greenies, string cheese, and fish are excellent. Kibble, canned food, and meds? Absolutely not. Freeze-dried food remains under consideration. Also, it is very important for her to bury her food with her nose before eating it. Makes it taste better. Khloe is pee-pad trained and making great housetraining progress, sleeps straight through the night, and is happiest buried under a mountain of blankets. She doesn’t do stairs, isn’t into walks just yet (maybe when it’s warmer), and has never been crate trained ~ but when left alone, she simply curls up on her bed and has a good snooze while she waits for her humans to come back. She would prefer not to be picked up if it's avoidable. Khloe would do fine with another small, calm dog or cat. She could also live with older children (maybe 8+) who are calm and gentle around her. She is a bit of a mimic, so if your other dog likes to bark, she will join in with the song of her people. Khloe has hypothyroidism and, like many white fluffy royal pups, struggles with allergies that haven’t been well controlled. She's also working her way through possible pancreatitis for now. We’ve already started her on a fresh, allergy-friendlier diet and we’ve given her a proper medicated spa bath (which she handled like the quiet, gentle angel she is). Add a brand-new sweater and she’s serving soft reboot. This quiet, sweet girl deserves all the love and all the soft sweaters. She is looking for a calm, patient home that will let her move at her own pace and remind her that she is safe, loved, and home again. Khloe is approximately 12 years old and 9 lbs.

Story
Melbourne makes an entrance. This 14-lb, 4-year-old Maltese mix is jaunty, goofy, and packed with personality. He’s got bubble eyes, a confident little strut, and the kind of expressive face that suggests he’s always in on the joke. Melbourne likes people, gets along with other dogs and cats, and appreciates a quiet home where he can take a little time to warm up and settle in. Once he does, he’s loyal, charming, and endlessly entertaining. He enjoys using his voice from time to time, so apartments or close-quarters living aren’t the best fit. What is a great fit? Someone who loves a small dog with big expressions, playful confidence, and a cheeky spark. Melbourne is ready to steal hearts — possibly yours. He is neutered 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. For more information, please email Katherine at kberger@petconnectrescue.org. **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**
