Story
Meet Splash!Hey there… I’m Splash. And yes—just like my name, I make a big, joyful splash everywhere I go. I’m a handsome, playful, athletic guy who lives for the simple things: a ball to chase, a good long walk, and most of all… my people. If you’re looking for a dog who will be your shadow, your walking buddy, and your couch companion all in one—I’m your guy.I’ve got that perfect mix of energy and heart. I’ll happily run and play outside (throw that ball again, please!), but when it’s time to wind down, I’m all about the snuggles. Curling up next to you? That’s my favorite place in the world. My volunteer pals here adore me—and I adore them right back. When I see my favorite people coming, my whole body lights up. Tail wagging, goofy grin, ready to go. I’m friendly, gentle, and just a little bit silly in the best possible way.Now, I’ll be honest with you—I prefer being your one-and-only when it comes to other dogs. But trust me… I’ve got more than enough love, loyalty, and personality to fill your whole home. So if you’re looking for a best friend who will greet you like you’re the greatest person on earth every single day…who will walk by your side… play by your side… and snuggle right up next to you at night…I’m Splash. And I’ve been waiting for you.Come meet me—you might just fall in love in one throw of the ball.

Story
Nienie is a quiet and sweet girl who is very loving. She will come to paw you for pets and play fetch for hours. She loves squeaky balls! She catches on to routine very fast. She is housetrained and sleeps through the whole night, whether you want her in your bed, on the floor, or in the crate. Nienie loves being near people at all times.This curious girl is great on the leash and loves exploring new routes and trails. She has a very high prey drive and loves squirrels! Although she is not good with any other animals. She listens to house rules very well and stays off furniture. Currently she knows sit, paw, and come and will love someone to teach her more commands!Nienie is very silly and becomes friends with everyone she meets! And is good with little kids! I could see her being a great family dog. She is great with all grooming like showers, brushing, and wiping paws. She is a very playful girl, but once you are ready to chill she’s right there with you!She would thrive in an active household who can keep up with her training and animal neutrality.

Wang Kai

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 4 yrs 1 mo
Potomac, MD
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
A calm, loyal gentle giant with a soft spot for his people (especially the ladies). Wang Kai is a 4-year-old, 100-lb sweetheart who brings a mellow, easygoing energy to the home. He’s a happy, curious boy with just the right touch of silliness — the kind of dog who is content to relax nearby but still enjoys getting out for his daily walks. He’s especially fond of women and bonds deeply with his people. Kai is not high energy and prefers a calm, low-conflict environment where he can feel secure and understood. Kai is intelligent and trainable, but he will benefit from continued leash work, as he does have a high prey drive for squirrels. He is not food motivated and is currently on a raw diet. He can do well in an apartment for up to 6 hours at a time, as long as he gets several walks each day. Kai would do best with older children or a shepherd-savvy home that understands his size and thoughtful nature. If you’re looking for a loyal, steady companion who will quietly stick by your side, Kai is your guy. Quick facts: • 4 years old • 100 lbs • Calm, affectionate, and loyal • Loves women • Not high energy • Needs leash work • High prey drive (squirrels) • Not food motivated; on raw diet • Apartment-friendly (with regular walks) • Best with older kids or experienced home Kai doesn’t need a busy home — just a kind one where he can relax, bond, and be loved. He 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. 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.

She’s a dog with a drive, and active engagement is how she’ll thrive, not outsourced puzzles or games. Lara is all about play. She has puppy energy and thinks everything is a toy including zooming kids. She will need guidance on gentle interactions; an owner who will commit to training as she still a very much a nippy/bitey puppy. Lara is incredibly smart and eager to learn.

Story
Hey there! I’m Honeysuckle! I’m a 1-year-old, 44-pound German Shepherd mix with striking black and white fur… and a flair for adventure. I was found as a stray, which basically makes me a professional explorer! I’ve sniffed more sidewalks than most dogs dream of! Not bad for a young girl like myself! Fortunately, I was found by some caring people, and am looking to be placed in a loving home. I’m a friendly and curious gal and so far, I've really enjoyed the people (and other dogs!) I've met at AHOTO. Now, I am still a puppy so my manners are hit or miss and I have quite a bit of energy. I mean well but hey, what do you expect?! I've never had any proper training. I am smart though and I know I will catch on really quick so please give me a shot. I just need a family that is willing to take me to training and give me all the exercise and mental enrichment I need to be a happy and healthy pup - that way we can ALL live happily ever after!  The END!  ##2531017##
