Story
Nugget is a very affectionate if not a little anxious older gal who needs an immediate placement due to housing challenges. We are open to a temporary year-long placement or a forever home. She has lived with two other dogs for the last 3-6 years and is still very energetic for her age. She gets protective at home when she does not know people who are in her space but no aggression and does very well in public. We would love to be able to see Nugget from time to time if possible. We appreciate any help in our situation!

Story
Minnie is ~5 years old, 25 lbs, female, black and tan patterdale terrier/beagle mix (best guess). She is a sweet and friendly gal who loves to get attention from humans! Everyone she meets adores her. While she is a tripod, she does not let that hold her back, she can be energetic & playful & loves playing in the yard. After a walk, Minnie settles down for a nice nap or a cuddle in your lap. She has done well with cats in her home. She is up-to-date on vaccines, crate trained, house trained. Minnie was found by animal control in NC with a leg injury. The shelter made an urgent plea to save her life. PetConnect Rescue came to her rescue, bringing her to a foster in the DC area and giving her necessary medical care, including leg amputation.Please get in touch to fill out a non-binding application to meet Minnie OR go to www.petconnectrescue.org (search for Minnie in adopt tab).

Story
Rick is a golden retriever hound pit mix who is very food motivated! He works outstanding with any dog he meets, he play with any dog of any size and temperament. He is protective of the family which means while in the home, he is wary of guests. He does not like to be pet directly on the head (stranger danger!) He loves to snuggle with family and he is very effectionate with children and babies. Though it may take some time for him to warm up to his new family! Hes loves to hiking, running, and general play! Due to some personal matters and our first baby we are unable to give him the quality time and play he needs. Truly wanting him to go to a nice and loving home. Please feel free to message about anything you are interested in, TIA!

Story
📌 Important Adoption Information All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea. Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States through legal and approved international transport procedures. Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process. 🩷 Rescue Story Louis was rescued from the euthanasia list at "Jeongeup Shelter" in South Korea. After receiving proper medical care, including completion of heartworm treatment, he was moved into a foster home where he has been able to relax, feel safe, and show his gentle, affectionate nature. 🌿 Temperament & Behavior Louis is a sensitive and sweet dog who prefers calm environments. He does not enjoy overly energetic dogs, regardless of size. He may do well with another low-energy dog who shows little interest in him, but he is also well-suited to being the only dog in the home. With people, sudden movements—such as hands raised quickly or abrupt approaches—can be frightening for him, and this is currently being worked on through training. However, when his name is called or someone sits calmly and invites him over, Louis approaches on his own, happily cuddles up, and showers them with affection. He has no history of biting or barking at people and genuinely likes human company. His compatibility with cats has not yet been tested. 🚶 Walking & Daily Life Louis truly loves going on walks. He may start out slightly excited at the beginning, but as the walk continues, he settles down and walks nicely while matching his handler’s pace. He handles stairs well and, while traffic noises can make him a bit nervous, he does not panic or try to flee. He enjoys sniffing during walks and does not scavenge or pick up food from the ground. His shedding level is moderate, about 5 out of 10. He has no food allergies and eats well without being picky. 🏡 Habits & Training Louis uses indoor pee pads reliably (100%) and also goes potty outdoors about 85% of the time. He accepts baths and brushing calmly without resistance. He does not have separation anxiety and is comfortable staying alone. He is generally quiet and does not bark, though he may softly whine for a short moment when he is extremely excited or waiting for meals. He rides well in the car and does not appear to experience motion sickness. 💛 Likes & Personality Louis is not particularly interested in toys. Rather than high-energy play, he prefers resting quietly on his own or staying close to his person. He finds comfort in human presence and enjoys peaceful companionship. He is currently living in a foster home. 💙 Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee. Your support directly helps us continue rescuing and caring for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.

Story
We got Carlos about two years ago and adore him, but I'm having health issues that make it difficult to keep him. Also, I feel guilty about keeping him in a small apartment when he needs to run regularly. He's leaving puppyhood, but still jumps a lot and is the fastest dog at the dog park. He thinks he's smaller than he is and will often try and sit in my lap. Mostly, he just stands on me and pushes his body into me. He is great with my kid and never jumps on her or tries to climb on her. He's a sweet boy. Ideally the adopter has a yard where he can go sniff more often that I can get him to the park.

Story
Seven years ago, Maverick entered the world as the tiniest pup in a litter of big personalities. As the runt, he had to learn early how to keep up with the crowd, but that just made him tougher, sweeter, and full of heart.This handsome Lab/Pit mix may have started out small, but he’s grown into the perfect companion. He’s past the wild puppy stage and has settled into that wonderful, sweet spot where he’s calm, affectionate, and happiest just being near his people. He does like to bark at dogs on TV (even cartoon dogs).Maverick loves the simple things in life—a cozy place to nap, a walk where he can sniff everything, and someone who will scratch behind his ears. He’s the kind of dog who will quietly follow you from room to room, always wanting to be part of whatever you’re doing.
