Story
My name is Babies and I am ready to be the best girl in your home or apartment. I am a refined lady and always use my manners, such as, sitting at the door when we are getting ready to go on an adventure! They say you shouldn't ask a lady her age but I am ok telling you that I am 5 years old and I don't look a day over 3! I am obsessed with peanut butter and if you are up for it, I'd LOVE to play tug-o-war or snuggle on the couch while we watch a movie or read a book. I will even share you with kids and cats. Sound like a good time? Call and set up an appointment to meet me today!

This is Zeus!! He is a 6 year old pittie/boxer mix who lovessss to snuggle. He loves snuggling under blankets and cuddling lots! He's kind of like Eeyore! He would do best in a home as an only child no other dogs preferably with no little children unless old enough to respect his space and follow direction (like teenagers). He is not a fan of loud noises. I'm looking for a home as we have our first baby and Zeus and our other dog aren't mingling well any longer. He is such a sweet boy look at that face!

He has the most boopable nose! Atwood is a playful three-year-old terrier/pittie mix who would love a quiet home to call his own, whether it's a temporary foster or permanent adoption situation. He spent some time in a noisy shelter environment and is so over that noisy chaos! All those dogs yap yap yapping all the time and all he wanted was a nap, darn it. He loves to pose for pictures and play with his toys, especially his stuffies. Atwood prefers a peaceful existence in an abode with no kids and no other pets, please. He's such a lovely, sweet boy. Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more info. Atwood is in the KC metro, but transport is available to the right home, foster or permanent. #thepetconnection

Story
Hi there, I’m Dexter! I’m smart and affectionate and just a bit lazy, all wrapped up into one fantastic companion. I’m silly and goofy and such a nice friend, but I can be shy and unsure sometimes, too. I’ve just had a life full of instability and change, that’s all, so it takes me a little extra time to learn to relax and to know that you’re my people. Once we bond, you’ll find me to be such a lovely dog. I’m the sort of friend who will stay with you in your heart forever. I’m a handsome, ~60-pound sweetheart, with stunning, gentle eyes that will make you melt, beautiful markings, and an unassuming, charming personality. I’m already fully housebroken too! I found myself all alone as a stray with no one to turn to when Foster Mom stepped into my life. She was just what I needed at just the right time. She has been teaching me manners and all about how great life can be as part of a family, and I have been busy soaking up every ounce of love and attention that she shares with me. She says I’m ready now to start the next chapter of my life. I’m ready to be adopted! I hope you’re the one who will welcome me into your family! I’ve come so far during my time in foster, making Foster Mom beam with pride. Everything was so new and strange to me, but I settled right in with my new routine, and I’m very well behaved. My perfect day consists of lounging on the couch or bed, playing with my favorite stuffie toys, going for a short walk, and curling up next to you as you tell me what a good boy I am. I’m a sensitive soul, so please don’t be harsh with me. If you stay patient and calm with me, praising and encouraging me when I do the right thing, it will help me learn what you expect from me. I am one smart cookie and eager to please. Training me is easy and fun, aided by my love of delicious treats, of course. I don’t need a ton of exercise to keep me happy, but I do enjoy a daily walk. I’ve worked really hard on my leash skills during my time in foster, and I typically walk very well on my leash these days. Sometimes people or other dogs startle me though. Foster Dad helps me keep my distance from others, which works great. I prefer walking in familiar, low traffic areas, where I know what to expect. I am picky with my dog friends, so slow introductions help me to be more at ease. I currently live with two older female dogs in my foster home and we get along just fine. If you have another dog, I will need to meet them before we go home together, to make sure we’re a good match for each other. I need a home without cats, please, because I like to chase them. And I will be happiest in a home with all adults or older kids. The younger kiddos make me nervous. I’m looking for a quiet and calm home without a lot of commotion, and with kind, chill people who like the fact that I enjoy being a couch potato or a big lap dog most days. All I’ve ever wanted is to live a safe and peaceful life with people I love. It really is as simple as that for me. Living in my foster home, I’ve learned that life is so much sweeter when you get to share it with someone special. I want to share mine with you. Love, Dexter. Would you like to get together to make sure I'm your forever pup? Then go ahead and call/text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 and ask about me, Dexter! My foster home is in the Kansas City metro, but my friends will transport me to my forever home! What a deal! #thepetconnection

Story
Guess who loves her toys? Sterling does! She tries to fit them all in her mouth at the same time, which makes her that much more adorable. Sterling is a super smart girl and is very food motivated, which makes training this wiggly, happy pooch loads of fun! She also likes other dogs and is good on leash. What more can you ask, really? It can be scary for Sterling to meet strangers, so she needs a slow intro to new people. Once she knows and trusts you, Sterling will be your best girl, your ride or die, the peanut butter to your jelly, the carrots to your peas, and you won't want to be without that smiling face, we promise. Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more information on Sterling. She's in the KC metro, but transport is available to the right home. #thepetconnection #adoptdontshop #sterling #socute #happy

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Virginia (virginiak@tarasdream.org) for more information about this pet. Please visit our web site at https://tarasdream.org/adopt to fill out an adoption application for this pet and for more info about our adoption process.  Meet Letty! She is a 1 year old pitbull that is just now getting to learn the world, and let’s face it, that’s both fun and scary!  Letty was surrendered to T.A.R.A after a rough start, but it hasn’t phased her a bit and she loves people and other dogs, although her rough play style can be intimidating to some. She also previously lived in a home with kids which she would love to do again! (She told us that ! ) This girl has a heart of GOLD and absolutely adores everyone! Letty is still learning about the world around her, so she is still a bit timid of everyday things like leashes and stairs, startling noises, and people who don’t keep dogs inside! Ideally Letty would find a home with a dog savvy individual, couple or family, who gives her love and training, so she knows what she is supposed to do with her young self! We know with the right family she will blossom into an amazing companion, who would love a spot on your sofa, and in your heart. C ome meet Letty, and give her an opportunity to live the good life with you!     Approximate Birthdate:  Jan 2023 Adoption Fee: $200 TARA's adoption fee includes: spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations, microchip, heartworm test (if age appropriate), heartworm and flea prevention, and deworming.  TARA's pets are all eligible for a TWO WEEK TRIAL.
