Story
Tommy came from a high kill shelter in TX, where not many get out of. We saw pictures of him and thought what a stunning dog. Tommy is a typical herding dog and will stay right by your side. He loves to run and play and very smart. He would love a fenced in yard to play with a buddy. He loves walks around the neighborhood with his foster family. He does get a bit scared when cars go by and is learning they are not going to get him. He does not pull on a leash. Very sweet dog. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out as the foster mum would love to tell you more. If you are interested in this handsome fellow please email us at Doginghamrescue@aol.com so we can send you an application. We are based in the Nashville, TN area and have most of our dogs transported up north. The $450 includes the adoption and transport fee (will have a health certificate too). The transport fee is not refundable if things do not work out.

Story
Jetson is a lovable and polite 2 year old Aussie Shepard Mix. He loves his soft toys (his babies) and cuddling up with a friend. He has lots of energy and loves showing off his jet speed when told he is the fastest puppy in the word!      Jetson is very calm when inside and doesn't bark at strangers or other animals. He loves being brushed and showing off his newly learned tricks and is quickly learning all basic commands. He doesn't pull on his leash and even waits on the top of the stairs for whoever is walking him. He is just looking for his forever best friends to share pets and treats with.   Adoption fee: $525, includes all shots, sterilized, heartworm negative, dewormed, flea preventative, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have.

Story
Meet SKYE! Skye is a gorgeous 8 month old, 40 pound red and white Australian Shepherd/Collie mix. Her freckled nose. black eyeliner, and fluffy tail with its white tip add to her beautiful looks. She is very sweet and lovable and is crate trained. But at less than a year, Skye has energy, puppy playfulness and excitability. She will need exercise, patience and reinforcement of training so this young dog can become the well-behaved dog she can be. She will do best in a home with active adults and maybe older children due to her jumping. Skye loves to go for walks! After exercise, Skye can also chill out comfortably and will cuddle with you during quiet times. Skye is smart, but, as with any young dog, she will need to continue with some basic training. Skye ended up at a rural North Carolina shelter, and we can only imagine how she wondered why her family did not come find her and take her home. She is so happy that PetConnect has come to her rescue and brought her to the DC area to find a forever family that will give her the attention that she deserves. Skye would love to curl up with you to hang out on a cold winter night! He would be an excellent new member of the active family! ***Please note that the first step is to fill out an application (It does not commit you in anyway but allows us to discuss with you if you and the dog are a good fit). In addition, an important step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies ), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Skey 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. For more information, please email Robin at rturner @petconnectrescue.org or kinstondogs@verizon.net **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**
