Story
Meet MERCI! Sweet Merci is about 4 years old, 39 pounds, female, white and brown terrier mix. This sweetie is such a happy gal; sauntering over with butt wiggles to greet everyone she meets with face nuzzles. What makes her extremely happy personality even more redeeming is that it is clear Merci has not always been properly cared for. Merci settles down for a nice nap or just to hang out with her people. She is learning to enjoy the creature comforts in her foster home. It took a few days to figure out the soft comfy dog beds were for her and she did not have to sleep on the hard floor! She has done well with other dogs. Merci has great house manners. Poor Merci has not always been properly taken care of; she arrived at the shelter with a cherry eye, some patchy fur, and heartworm. Because she was so so sweet, the shelter made an urgent plea to save her....PetConnect Rescue was able to come to her rescue, bring her to the DC area to a great foster, and will give her the necessary medical care she needs. Her eye already has been surgically fixed, the fur/skin will resolve with good food and care, and she will be treated for heartworm. So now Merci has left her horrible past behind and is ready to find her new, and this time, forever home. She has so much love and happiness to give to her new family for many years! Merci would love to curl up in your lap to hang out on a winter evening; she loves to cuddle and get pets! Merci is up-to-date on vaccines, preventatives. She is eager to find her person(s) to love! ***Please note that our first step is to fill out an application (it does not commit you in anyway but allows us to discuss with you if you and the dog are a good fit). In addition, an important step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies ), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** 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 Robin at rturner@petconnectrescue.org. **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**

Story
She has been a part of my family since she was 10 weeks old, and making this decision has been incredibly difficult. She is now 6 years old and has grown up in a loving home. She is a loyal, gentle, and affectionate dog with a very good temperament and is not aggressive at all. She is fully house trained, well-mannered, and enjoys being around her people. She does great with children and gets along well with other pets. She enjoys being active and playing, but also loves relaxing and spending quiet time with her family. She forms strong bonds and truly thrives in a home where she feels safe, loved, and included as part of the family. I am looking for a responsible, loving home that can give her the time, care, and stability she deserves. My biggest hope is to find her a permanent home where she will continue to be treated with patience, kindness, and love.

Story
Meet Snow From the “coldest” name to the warmest heart. Hi… I’m Snow. Just a few weeks ago, I was about to be put to sleep at a local shelter, unsure if anyone would ever come for me. Then everything changed. Someone looked into my big hopeful eyes and decided I deserved more—a family, a couch, a life. And now here I am, ready to meet you. Since getting my second chance, I’ve been working hard on being the best girl ever: I walk nicely on a leash—okay, okay, sometimes I get a little happy pull when the world smells extra exciting. I know sit, down, and even place (I told you I was smart!). I’m super treat-motivated. Like… SUPER. Got snacks? We’re friends. I stay calm around other dogs—just taking in the vibes. I’ve met some kids, and wow, I love them. They’re small, giggly snack machines and I approve. I’m 62 pounds of gentle sweetness, 3 years old, and so ready for a warm home where I never have to be scared again. If you’re looking for a girl who was saved just in time and is ready to repay that kindness with love, cuddles, and loyalty… Come meet Snow— I promise I’ll melt right into your heart. December 11, 2025, 2:44 pm

Story
Pocket Rocket!MEET ARTEMIS! (Descriptor: Pocket Rocket!)   The name Artemis means “safe” or “unharmed” and refers to the ancient Greek goddess of the hunt, wilderness, wild animals, and chastity. A more perfect name doesn’t exist for this pup! “Artie” may be small, but she is mighty in spirit. This 30-pound, 1 year old, pocket rocket is all about living life with enthusiasm! Whether that’s sprinting around the yard, playing hard with her people, or melting into a puddle of snuggles on the couch afterward.   Artie is a sprinter, not a marathoner: she loves short bursts of high-energy play and then settles beautifully in the home. She would thrive with an active adopter who enjoys hiking, wants to explore beginner dog sports, or simply loves a dog who is always excited for the next fun thing. She is almost fully housebroken, is friendly with new people, and genuinely adores adults and older children who have learned to be respectful of dogs. Artie also gets along with most other dogs, but she isn’t big on sharing toys or food, so she’d do best as either an only dog or with a very savvy, structured home that can manage resources thoughtfully. She can be dog selective so a slow introduction is necessary.   Artie is confident and environmentally stable, not much fazes her. She’s affectionate, social, and happiest when snuggled up next to you. She does have some FOMO behaviors in the crate, but she improves significantly when crated away from high excitement. Because of her high prey drive, Artie should not live with small pets.   She is being fostered by her trainer (we just love a well trained dog!) and will come with an instruction manual of how to keep her new-found structure going to keep her on her learning journey. (In other words, she is an energetic young dog that needs to have boundaries enforced and her trainer can help you understand what that looks like.) If you’re looking for a dog who is equal parts adventure buddy and cuddle companion, with a big personality in a compact package, Artie might just be your perfect match. She’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and a whole lot of heart into her forever home.   Artemis’ adoption donation fee is $450, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for her 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.December 6, 2025, 7:44 pm

Story
Meet my girl — a 5-year-old Pit Bull/Staffordshire Terrier with the sweetest heart! I adopted her 6 months ago from a friend, and she’s been nothing but loving and well-mannered ever since. I’m looking for a home that welcomes responsible pet owners and appreciates a calm, affectionate dog. She’s gentle, loyal, goofy, cuddly, and super friendly with people. She loves her walks, naps like a pro, and thinks belly rubs are a full-time job. She’s house-trained, easygoing, and has a very soft, relaxed personality — truly the definition of a good girl. If you’re looking for a sweet, well-behaved companion who brings nothing but love and comfort, she’s the perfect match.
