Story
Age: 2 years Size: 58 pounds Estimated breed: Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix Spotty needs a home with: resident dog(s), fenced in yard, no young children   Update 7/7:  Spotty is super dog social guy who needs to be with other dogs. He absolutely adores every dog he meets. Spotty is still a little reserved around people but has been making huge strides and seems to improve every day! He has gone through professional training to work on self- confidence and is able to go on walks now and trust more than he used to. Spotty is super submissive and needs a home with a very social dog that will hang out and play with him all day. He loves to play with dogs more than anything. Spotty is also house trained and crate trained. He requires a fenced yard as he can get spooked and we don’t want to take chances of him trying to flee. Spotty has endless potential if you give him the time and patience he needs and deserves to come out of his shell! -------- Spotty is estimated to be about 1.5 years old and 45 pounds. He was found as a stray in SC and was completely petrified at the shelter. He sat in a corner shaking and had to be carried just to move out of his kennel. He came to us very nervous and shy but with the help of his canine friends, he is slowly learning to trust and thriving in his foster home. He has also met and done training with our trainer where he is now comfortable going for walks on a leash and exploring the outdoors!   Spotty gains comfort from other dogs, so he requires a home with a friendly resident dog to help show him the ropes. Spotty would do best in a home without young children as he is still gets timid around new people and retreats. With time and patience, he will show his new family how goofy and happy he really is. All he needs is someone who is understands that just needs a little time to know he is safe. His best quality..... he is AMAZING with other dogs and wants to be their best friend. If you have a dog that has been wanting a sibling, Spotty is your guy!   To adopt Spotty, please apply on our website! www.keytolionsheart.org/adopt   Please note we cannot guarantee the breed or adult size of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their crate and house training. April 21, 2024, 3:01 pm

If there are problems with the website, please email me for help. These pups are cute, cute, cute!!! They are very playful and happy. There is a litter of 4 of which the Daddy a purebred Blue Heeler.

There are 2 other male pups - GUCCI, , and GUMBALL (pictures also listed with this ad). Gulliver, in particular, is the big Teddy Bear… everyone wants to cuddle up to him and he picked up on it quickly. Everyone picks him out of the group to hug. These will be great family dogs. The smart Blue Heeler (aka Australian Cattle Dog) has the brains to be good dogs on the ranch but it does require training. Heelers are active dogs and need to have lots of attention and love. They are known for their “heeling” capability and will herd anything available to include children. One man told the story of watching his Heeler herding his kid and the neighbor kids away from the forbidden gorge and back to the house. Heelers are known for being great Frisbee catchers and they love water. They are not yet house trained. This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption. Adoptions include neuter/spay, vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), microchip, health certificate, transport with our professional dog transporter, and 6 mos of heart worm prevention.

Story
Mossy is a great dog! He is a cheerful, snuggly 3 year old, 48 lb cattle dog mix. Mossy enjoys fetching a ball or stick, over and over, and has amazing eye-mouth coordination, always catching the ball on the first bounce! He really loves playing in water, even in cold weather, and rolling in the snow. He loves people and other dogs with proper introductions. A chill, well-balanced dog that likes to play would be the best match for him. Mossy is a wonderful, incredibly loyal dog who will do anything to make his people happy! He is housebroken, crate trained and does well walking on a leash. He is too interested in cats, so he is not recommended for a house with cats unless someone wants to put a lot of work into desensitizing him. Mossy will require a yard in his forever home to get the exercise typically needed by cattle dogs and to keep his brain engaged. He would love to go on hikes, maybe do some agility and he rides perfectly in the car. Mossy is neutered 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.

Introducing our lively and energetic Spirit! She’s a 3 year old Cattle Dog/Beagle mix (guess), 35 lbs, and so sweet. This girl is a bundle of joy, always on the go, and ready for action. With an abundance of playfulness, she’s the perfect partner for games, fetch, and outdoor adventures. Once she gets all her energy out, she chills with her people on the couch!Watch her prance around with that unmistakable spring in her step – she brings an extra dose of cheer wherever she goes. She even does her happy feet dance sometimes! An adventurer at heart, she thrives on exploring and discovering new horizons, making her an ideal companion for the outdoorsy types. She is like a prancing, running deer!You'll be pleased to know that she’s both house and crate trained! What this girl craves most is your affection and attention. She’s a real people-pleaser, and those belly rubs and ear scratches are her absolute favorite! She doesn’t trust people right away and takes time to warm up, but once she does, she is extremely loyal, affectionate, and protective of her people when people come over.She gets along well with kitty friends. She is dominant with other dogs and likes to show them she's boss, but she is completely fine with them after! We've only seen her around submissive dogs. Proper, slow introductions are important with her and other dogs. It is safe to say she may not do well with other dominant dogs. Spirit’s open heart and care-free personality are sure to brighten your days and fill your life with endless joy and excitement.Adopter must have a fully fenced yard and an active lifestyle.DISCLAIMER- Breed type is determined based on general appearance and behavioral characteristics and cannot be guaranteed unless DNA test results or AKC registration were provided at intake.***MOST OF OUR DOGS ARE FOSTERED IN TEXAS, BUT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AND TRANSPORT OUT OF STATE.

Story
Introducing Zara, a delightful one-year-old bundle of affection and unwavering devotion. Zara's journey began when we saved her from a high-kill shelter in Texas, narrowly escaping a grim fate. It's evident that someone may have treated her unkindly, as she initially displays timidity (cowers) around unfamiliar people. However, with time, love, and a reassuring touch, Zara will blossom into the best version of herself. In her nurturing foster home, Zara is flourishing, thanks to her work-at-home foster parents who provide ample human interaction and the attention she craves. She's a snuggling pro, always seeking reassurance and showering you with boundless love. While Zara prefers not to be confined in a kennel at any time, she's potty trained and she will get used to the kennel once she realizes that it is not used as punishment. Zara can be a bit picky with other dogs, but she does have some doggy friends she adores! She is too interested in cats and tries to get to them, so a home without cats is best. It's important to note that she's best suited for a home with children over the age of 10 as she doesn't always realize her size. She will playfully nibble on you when she wants someone to pet her.  Zara needs to be in an environment where those around her understand and respect her boundaries as she continues to heal and learns to trust that she'll never experience harm again. When Zara knows and trusts you, she'll eagerly leap onto you, expressing her love through her endearing, expressive eyes and a hug. Zara delights in a balanced blend of indoor and outdoor play and finds pure joy in basking in the warm sun. If you're in search of an affectionate and loyal companion perfectly suited to a work-from-home lifestyle or an active where you’ll bring your dog with you all over, Zara is the ideal addition to your life.
