Story
Meet Moses! He's a 35 pound Jack Russell/Rat Terrier Mix and is about 6 years old. My ex-husband and I adopted him from a rescue organization about 2 years ago. I'm now in sole possesion of Moses. For a few reasons, I've made the difficult decision to rehome Moses, as I think it would be better for him and myself. Once he gets to know you, Moses is such a sweet, cuddly, protective, loyal lap dog and loves to play and burrow under blankets. He does have stranger danger though. While it will take him a little bit (shouldn't last more than a day) to warm up to someone new, once he does he will love you forever. He has a lot of energy and loves being outside. I live in the city. I think he would do best in the suburbs or somewhere rural, with a fenced in yard to run around, and less stimuli for anxiety. I think he would do well with older kids. Make Moses part of your family!

Meet Tina! She is a 1 year old rat terrier/heeler mix rescued with her mom, sister and younger siblings after being dumped in a bad area of town. She is very submissive and a little shy at first but wants she warms up she loves belly rubs! She get's that from her mom! She is great with other dogs of all sizes but prefers medium and small dogs.

The adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport. An adoption application and adoption contract are all required.

We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

Story
Meet Shane! Shane is a 12-week-old male Cattle Dog mix with a soft white-and-cream coat and an irresistibly friendly nature. As he grows, his playful, curious personality is shining even brighter. He loves everyone he meets and is always ready to make new friends—human or canine. Shane is the perfect balance of snuggly and spirited. He’s eager for adventure, quick with the puppy zoomies, but equally happy to curl up for a cuddle. With his bright little mind and eager-to-please attitude, he’s picking up on routines beautifully. Shane thrives with gentle guidance, positive training, and plenty of opportunities to explore the world safely. This sweet boy is ready to bring joy, fun, and endless puppy kisses to his forever family! The adoption fee for this puppy is $475, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. A $250 spay/neuter deposit is required at the time of adoption. This fee covers sterilization at one of PetConnect’s preferred veterinary partners. If the adopter chooses to use their own veterinarian, the deposit will be returned with proof of sterilization. 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.

Marbles is the sweetest girl at 7 months old and ~30lbs fully grown. She knows how to have fun and loves playing with her dog buddies. Bitey face, wrestling, tug of war? She’s down for it all! Whenever she’s out in public, she is an absolute delight. Marbles will sit and calmly observe everything going on around her without a care in the world which is very rare for a puppy! Her foster mom taught her “sit” in one day and she keeps proving to be a smart pup! Marbles would be the perfect addition to any family!
