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
Lilly is literally the sweetest, most patient, excited girl! She has always been super patient with our children (even when they were antagonizing her). She loves eating grass, going on long walks, chewing on her toys, licking hands, cuddling, getting tummy rubs, and giving kisses!! She loves to play with other dogs, mostly other girls (behaved boys are ok too as long as they don’t hump, she’s a lady lol). She has always preferred humans over dogs but has never had issues socializing . She has a bestie now who is a pup but Lilly keeps up during play . Lilz is overall a very very sweet dog. Unfortunately we can no longer keep her due to relocating to a place with no yard and limited space. We’d love for her to go to someone active as she has a lot of energy. She can laze around too but will get into mischief if not exercised. Overall she is a great family dog and a great partner and will stay off the furniture unless you allow it. She’s also a quick learner and easy to train

Story
Hi! This is Murphy, he's a six month old shepherd/staffie mix. He's great with kids and loves to play chase and fetch and go on runs. He's definetly taken after the shepherd side and loves to chase birds and butterflys, anything flying away from him. He's very versatile when it comes to food and is not picky at all. He loves to get his ears scratched and loves a good belly rub. He does fantastic when it comes to shower time and does very well when it comes to clipping his nails. He is currently being crate trained, but it is not his favorite thing. He best loves curling up at your feet or up with you on a comfy bed or couch. He does have a high prey drive, so he would do best in a house with no cats. But he loves kids and playing with them. Currently Murphy is closer to 45-55 lbs give or take, but he is all full of love.

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! July 25, 2024, 5:25 pm

Lily is a gorgeous specimen of 50 pound year old silvery velvet hippo girl with melt-in-your-mouth chocolate eyes, Lily is a doggie day care rockstar, and has never met a water feature she didn't love!

Lily is living happily with her foster canine sister; she can take a minute to warm up to new people, but once you are her friend, that's forever. Lily knows her basic commands; she walks well on a lead; she is a dream road trip companion; and she just generally loves being with her people and having adventures (other dogs always welcome!). She is very treat motivated and a joy to train - she is house- and crate-trained and is patient and calm when waiting for meals. Lily plays hard and then curls up on the couch for a nap. 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.

Hi there, I'm Ridley. I'm still young and full of curiosity. I may be a bit shy at first, but once I get to know you, I promise to be your most loyal friend. I am a compact guy and weigh 26 lbs. I love to sleep in my crate at night, I am housetrained and learning all about leash walking and it is a blast seeing all these new things! I am working on learning the game of fetch! I love cuddles and gentle strokes; they make me feel safe and loved. I may not be the bravest, but I'm the sweetest. My eyes? They're as blue as the summer sky. I'm just a pup looking for a family to share my love with. Why adopt me? Well, I promise to fill your life with joy, laughter, and unconditional love. I would do best with another confident pup in the home to show me meeting new people is not so scary or someone who is home a majority of the day to help me with my training. I would also love a yard to run around in! I'll be your best friend, your confidant, your partner in crime. With me, every day will be an adventure. Will you be my forever family? Ridley is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter.

Story
Nina! This absolutely gorgeous 75 pound six year old black pittie is looking for a soft landing, through no fault of her own. Nina's mom has raised her since she was a baby, and due to drastic changes in her life she is unable to continue to care for Nina. She has made the incredibly hard decision to surrender Nina so she can have a chance to be happy and well cared for rest of her life. We would love to make that happen for Nina, but we can't do it without a foster or adopter stepping up. Nina is good with kids, good with other dogs (she was raised with one) and unknown with cats. She is housebroken and crate-trained and lovely in the house - she is very obedient to commands. This beautiful pittie is a little shy with new people and dogs but comes out of her shell with patience, kindness and leadership and rewards you with her big pittie-girl smile. We are hoping someone has room in their heart and home to help this girl avoid a bad situation - she truly needs our help. Nina is spayed and up to date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this dog is $425, which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. PetConnect 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.
