Story
Meet Turner, a 2-year-old neutered Blue Heeler mix with a sweet, affectionate side and a playful spirit. This cuddle bug loves being close to his people and looks to them for reassurance and guidance as he explores the world around him. When Turner first arrived at the shelter, he had no idea what a leash was for — but he’s quickly learned that walks can lead to fun adventures, new smells, and quality time with his favorite humans.Turner enjoys meeting people and has a goofy, eager personality that shines once he feels comfortable. Like many herding breeds, he’s intelligent, active, and always ready to stay busy. He is still learning appropriate dog play skills and can get a little chasey and nippy during play, so he would do best with patient adopters who understand herding breed behaviors and can continue helping him build confidence and manners.

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

Story
This is Romeo! He is a 1yo Australian Cattle Dog with lots of personality. He is UTD on shots, neutered, and microchipped. The reason I am rehoming him is because he plays too rough with our Dachshund. Other than that he’s been great. He knows basic commands (sit, lay down, stay, kennel) He is kennel trained very well, house trained, and does AMAZING on the leash, making walks stress free. He’d probably do best in a house with a fenced in backyard or lots of land. Off leash he does great, not wanting to leave your side. He’s been around horses as well and does great with them.

These pups are in Independence, Missouri too!
