Story
Meet Zip—a 1-year-old neutered male cattle dog mix with a tender heart and a timid spirit. This sweet boy is naturally shy and still learning that the world can be a safe and comforting place. New people, new sounds, and new environments can feel overwhelming for him, so he needs someone who will move at his pace and offer patience, reassurance, and calm guidance.Once Zip feels safe, you’ll start to see the soft, loyal personality underneath his nerves. With a gentle approach and steady routine, he has so much potential to blossom into a loving, devoted companion.If you’re someone who understands shy dogs and finds joy in helping them come out of their shell, Zip is waiting for you. With time and kindness, he’ll show you just how special he truly is.

Story
Ike is a handsome cattle dog mix, who is looking for a forever home. This boy is naturally shy, taking a little time to warm up to new situations and people.However, once you`ve earned his trust, Ike reveals his wonderfully sweet side! He particularly enjoys playing with humans, offering a reserved but affectionate engagement that is truly rewarding. Whether it’s a soft game or a quiet cuddle, he cherishes that one-on-one time.When it comes to his canine peers, Ike prefers to keep his distance and would do best as an only dog or in a home with calm, respectful dogs who won`t push him to socialize.

Hopper is a great dog that will make any dog lover very happy. We got him as a puppy and love him very much. He will thrive in a home that has a moderate amount of land and a decent sized fence, with owners that love walks and play time. He is house and crate trained. We simply do not have the time and energy to give time the life he deserves to have and would like to see him go to the right home.

Story
Let Cami be the queen of your castle! She is such a sweet, shy girl who wants desperately to be loved and we have no doubt that she will steal your heart. She enjoys peaceful activities with her people. (Check out her fishing adventure in Minnesota last winter!) It's going to take Cami a bit to trust and she'd appreciate a home where there aren't a bunch of visitors coming and going. While she can be picky about her canine friends, a super social dog might just do the trick. Of course, Cami would be perfectly satisfied being your one and only, too. Either way, she promises to love you to the moon and back! Cami's around eight years old and is a very polite house guest. She's quiet, doesn't get into things she shouldn't, and already knows to do her business outside. Call or text The Pet Connection at 913-671-7387 for more info on Cami. She's staying with us in Beloit, Kansas, but transport is available to the right home. #thepetconnection #adoptdontshop #socute #happy
