Story
Piggy is a loving pitbull. She would do better in a home as the only dog. She loves pizza and cinnamon rolls! Piggy has been introduced to my two year old toddler and has done great. She is friendly. It is unknown how she would react around other dogs, cats etc. The ideal home for her would be someone that will love her and take her on walks and play tug of war with. She would also give bonus points for special treats. Please help us find her a home!

Story
This cutie patootie is Bronx! One thing you need to know about Bronx is that he is a hap hap happy boy! He finds joy in cheese treats, silly voices, smiling, car rides, pup cups with whipped cream, rolling in the grass, stretching out like a frog, and playing with stuffies. This guy is not high maintenance, we promise! Most of all, Bronx is happy being with his people and making them laugh. He is great with kids and shows them how much he appreciates their attention by giving them the sweetest kisses. If you're feeling not so happy, Bronx will be there to help you through the rough patches by listening to you and putting his excellent snuggle skills to work. He's a very good boy in the home, of course -- Bronx is housetrained and stays out of mischief when you're gone. A perfect gentleman, for sure! Bronx is good on leash, but a fenced yard would be fabulous. Bronx needs to be the only pup in his new home; it cuts down on competition for car rides and pup cups. Bronx would love to meet you! Just call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7287. Bronx is already neutered and is up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He's in the KC metro, but transport is available to the right home.

Story
Midori, who is about 11 years old, is one of The Pet Connection's longest-term dogs. She came to us from Unleashed Pet Rescue almost 10 years ago with the understanding that she'd probably remain with us for life, but her rehabilitation went so well that she's most certainly adoptable and deserves to know a real home as a senior. Please read about Midori and consider giving her the gift of a home. I'm Midori! Not the sweet liquor kind of Midori, but the sweet dog Midori! Not to boast or anything, but I've been called "a good listener," "lovely," "gracious," "wonderfully silly," and "obedient." Pretty nice, right? I love to be with my people, so if you're inside, I'll want to be inside with you. If you're chilling in our yard, I'll be chillin' with you! Maybe we can play with toys while we're hanging out? I do think my toys are pretty awesome. After we're done playing, we could snuggle on the couch. Speaking of good dogs, aren't you so done with unruly puppy behavior? I'm past that puppy stage, so I know to do my business outside and I love hanging out in my crate. I'm not destructive in the house at all. In fact, I'm what the folks around here call a "great house guest"! I've had time to think about my perfect home and I've decided it would be one with only adults (those little humans are a lot like puppies, now that I think about it. . . ) with no cats, and probably no other dogs living with me, although I have gotten along with other dogs, big and small, after a slow intro. I really want some special person (or people!) to love me. I promise to love them right back. Think we might be perfect together? Just call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 so we can chat a little more and get a meeting set up. I'm in Beloit, Kansas, right now, but The Pet Connection will happily deliver me to the right home.

Story
"Well, she's amazing. And adorable. And THE BEST SNUGGLER. She likes to bury herself in blankets on the couch, then get down and run around like a little kid in a ghost Halloween costume. She has had a few canines removed but still chews bones just fine. Her kisses are just a lil extra gummy. She hates storms and will charge out the door barking at the sky like it offended her ancestors if there is thunder." It's Wednesday, a pretty pit bull mix looking for a patient and loving home! She's initially timid with new people and things but is an affectionate, fun pooch once she knows you and settles in. Wednesday will thrive in a home of her own. All it takes is some time and plenty of treats and she'll open up to you and let you into her world. Wednesday will be your loyal companion every single day of the week. Wednesday is staying in the Kansas City metro, but transport is available to the right home. With her adoption, you'll get the ongoing support of The Pet Connection for her training needs! Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 any day of the week for more information on Wednesday! #thepetconnectionks #adoptdontshop #adoptWednesdaytoday

Story
Hidey ho, my human friends! I'm Cress, a 2-year-old pittie mix looking for my purpose in life. Oh, and a home, I'm also looking for a home. More specifically, I'm looking for an active home that will give me a job to do. Not like a paying job, mind you! I'm thinking more along the lines of a volunteer job. For example, want to fetch balls? I'm your girl! Want to play frisbee? That's me! How about running? I'm down with that! Want to play hide and seek with treats? I'm all in! You see, I have high energy and drive and need mental and physical exercise to keep me healthy and happy. Once I'm done with my "job" I settle in for some love and affection. I'm a really good student if you give me consistent training. I already know "sit" and am a good treat taker. As a bonus, I seem to like other dogs, with the proper introduction. (You just can't rush finding the right friends -- am I right?) Think we might be a good match? Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more information and to set up a meeting with me! Please contact The Pet Connection if you can foster, adopt, or sponsor a special needs dog or cat. 913-671-7387 Text. Www.thepetconnection.net.
