Story
Kenai was rescued by us as a puppy from Texas. She is 4 years old (DOB 6/11/19). She became a reactive dog around 10 months old despite taking her to puppy classes and desensitization classes as well as socializing her through puppy day care and beyond. When COVID pandemic arrived, we had to move and lost access to the daycare. In our new neighborhood there are many dogs - she has found great dog friends, whom she is always eager to play with. However, certain situtations trigger her anxiety, and in turn, her reactiveness. Dogs that "stare her down" or reactiveness of other dogs will trigger her to raise her hackles and react in turn. Night walks, with low visibility, puts her more on edge. Despite working with a dedicated behaviorist and medication, her unease is clear. At home, and to those she knows, she is absolutely loving, sweet, and gentle (inc. kids/men). No resource issues. She would thrive in a wide open space where there are less distractions, fewer unknown dogs.

Story
🐾 Looking for a loving home for Peanut the Grey Blue-Nose Pitbull in Gaithersburg, MD! 🐶 Meet Peanut, our 6-year-old grey-colored, blue-nose Pitbull weighing around 60 lbs. Peanut is an absolute sweetheart with people, always ready for cuddles and belly rubs! He's trained on multiple commands, loves to play with squeaky toys, and comes with two different bark collars and training collars. However, Peanut struggles with anxiety and displays aggression around other dogs, which has been a challenge for us. We've tried training that's been helpful, but with a new baby in the house, we're finding it challenging to give Peanut the attention and training he deserves. He's currently on a daily apoquel pill for his allergies. We feel awful that we can't provide him with the time and energy he needs, but we want what's best for Peanut. He deserves a home where he can thrive and be happy. If you or someone you know can offer Peanut a loving and understanding environment, please reach out.

Story
Say hello to sweet Tiger!  Tiger is a very affectionate boy who will be your best friend forever. He is 2 years old, 75 lbs and wants to be the center of someone's world, as he loves people, especially teenagers. He is very treat-motivated and easily trainable.  Tiger is very playful with other dogs.  He could be in a home as an only dog to hog all the attention, or in a very bully savvy home with one other friendly young dog. He did not have the best start in life, so he is a little clumsy when meeting. Nothing that patience and consistency cannot improve. Training and enrichment to help him focus would benefit him greatly as well. He is a curious, intelligent dog. A fenced yard is a must. No cats, as he will chase them.  Tiger really deserves a great forever home!  He is an adorable dog who loves to please people and he's so handsome!  Tiger is fully vaccinated and neutered.  He is in New Jersey (but adoptable anywhere on the east coast) and would love to meet you! If you would like to make Tiger a much loved part of your family, send in an application today! Interested in adopting? Of course you are! Submit an application here! April 15, 2024, 11:32 am

Story
Meet Lily, a 50 pound year old silvery velvet hippo girl with melt-in-your-mouth chocolate eyes, Lily is very smart, sweet, athletic, playful and curious. She's met all kinds of different people in her foster home and out in the world and she's learning to approach life with confidence and self assurance. Lily looks to her handler for guidance and reassurance in new situations and is improving on her life skills daily. Lily knows sit, down, and stay; she walks well on a lead, she is a dream road trip companion, and she just generally loves going places with her people. She is very treat motivated so she is a joy to train - and she loves learning new things. She is house- and crate-trained and is patient and calm when waiting for a meal. She plays hard (loves to play with her foster dog-siblings and is learning to modulate her size with the smaller dogs) and then loves to curl up on the couch and sleep. No cats for this girl as the prey drive runs strong. She sleeps in her bed but would love to share yours. If you are looking for a loyal bestie, Lily is your girl. Lily is spayed and up-to-date on vaccines. 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.

Story
This lovely lady is dressed and ready in her gorgeous black/brindle coat. Sadie is an approximately 1 year old, 47lb, Staffie mix; with what we are not sure, but we do know that she is 100% adorable. Sadie quickly fit right into her busy foster home with 6 resident pups ranging from 15-110lbs, a kitten and two human teen girls. She loves to play but also enjoys finding a comfy dog bed or couch to rest and catch up on her shows. She enjoys a good meal, will willingly go in her crate and sleep through the night and knows to go outside to use the bathroom. She was previously fostered on a farm. She'd prefer to live in a quieter area as she may be stressed by busier neighborhoods, and she'd love a nice fenced yard to run and play in. She could do well in a household with other confident, dog friendly dog(s) or as an only with appropriate opportunities to socialize with other pups. Sadie is a sweet girl and will be a wonderful addition to a lucky family! Sadie is spayed and up-to-date on vaccines. 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.

Story
Hello world, my name is Poppy and I am about two months old - an eight pound pistol of a baby pittie queen! My foster family loves me - how could they not! - they say I rolled right off of transport packing only my big personality and my gorgeous self. I love all of the people and dogs and cats at my foster home and I am learning all the things I know to be my best big dog self. I am not at all scared of the big dogs or sounds or anything really - I am straight up loving this adventure called foster life, and I can't wait to meet you! 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 time of adoption. This fee covers spay/neuter 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.
