Story
Have ya met Crenshaw? Well I have and I am obsessed!! This boy is so, so smart! He learns quickly what pleases his people and is happy to oblige them! He is very attentive when it comes to his people! He knows where they are at all times and makes sure they are safe! He plays very gently with smaller dogs and puppies and likes to keep the order! He definitely sees himself as the adult in the room. He seems to prefer smaller dogs but would do fine with a confident bigger dog. Always alert and aware, Crenshaw has your back. He listens and pays attention to everything you do and say. He's great on a leash and loves to walk. But, he's not without his quirks. He takes a bit of time to trust new prople and new situations. His fosters have been working on his "stranger danger" and he's doing much better at meeting new people, but his adopter should expect to continue his socialization. He also does not do well in a crate. After weeks of working on it, he really wants to be close to his people. He might not make a great apartment dog as he does cry and whine in his crate when no one is home, but does settle down after a bit. One of his fosters found crating him in their room at night helped. His current foster just leaves him uncontained at night and he does great , sleeping all night on the floor next to her. Crenshaw is an amazing boy, but will require an owner who is a good leader who can set boundaries. He will also need both physical exercise and mental exercise. He loves training time as much as he loves walks!!

Story
It's with a heavy heart that we are seeking to rehome our Australian Shepherd, kazuto. Unfortunately, due to an incident where he bit our baby, we have to make the difficult decision to find him a new family that can provide the right environment and attention he needs. Kazuto is an incredibly loving dog with lots of energy and a big heart. He’s four years old, enjoys cuddles, and is a very anxious boy. He’s up-to-date on vaccinations, house-trained, has lived with a cat since he was a puppy, and knows basic commands. We believe that in the right home, with proper attention, he will thrive. We are looking for someone with a child free home who can offer a loving, safe space where he can continue to be a happy, well-loved dog. If you're interested or know someone who might be a good fit, please message me for more details.

Hiro, is an 8 year old male australian shepherd. I rescued him 3 years ago in the mountains of Utah. Tracked down his owner and decided to keep him. He loves to play fetch non stop. He thinks he is a lap dog when being petted. He is good with kids. They like to carry the ball or toy around and have Hiro follow them. We are only rehoming him because he has become to dominate over our Black Lab. He will make a good one dog family or if you able to train him with other dogs.

Story
Please read bio before applying! Meet Merlin. This young man has had a rough go of it at just 1 year old. Merlin came to us as a commercial breeder release and when we got him at 6 months old, he had never been handled by humans. As a result, he is very distrusting of humans and requires a lot of patience and time to adjust to new people. Merlin is very dog friendly and because he is more comfortable with dogs than humans, we are requiring that he go to a home with at least one other canine. This will help set him up for success. He will also need a home with a secure fenced in yard, as he can be a bit of a flight risk, and he will need a home with no small children. Merlin has the potential to be an amazing companion, he just needs someone who will give him the time he needs to adjust

Story
Hi friends! My name is Willy. I'm a border collie mix of sorts and quite handsome if I do say so myself. I'm a bit of a special dog, a real shy guy, but if someone would just give me a chance I will make a great companion. I love other dogs, as long as they're friendly, and I absolutely must go to a home with another friendly dog or two to show me I'm in a safe place. We all need some reassurance sometimes, right? I also need a fenced yard. Whoever my new owner is will need to be able to give me lots of time and space to feel comfortable with them. I'm a really good boy, I'm crate trained and house broken, but until I get used to you I'm gonna need you to keep your paws to yourself. I promise it's not personal, and you'll see I'm worth the wait! Willy is neutered, up to date on shots and microchipped. He's located at The Pet Connection Sanctuary in Beloit, KS, but transportation to the right home may be available. To learn more about Willy please contact The Pet Connection by call or text- 913-671-PETS (7387).
