Story
Meet Rocco, a 4 1/2-year-old Parson Terrier and Shih Tzu mix! He has reached his mature weight of 10 pounds, and due his petite size, children in the home should be older than ten years or have experience handling small dogs. He wears a long coat of brown and white. His playful nature is infectious, lighting up any room with his energy. Despite his zest for play, Rocco also has a mellow side, enjoying quiet cuddles and showing his affectionate, loyal nature. He's smart and independent, often amusing himself with toys. Rocco can be a bit shy at first, but once he warms up, he's your best friend for life. Rocco was surrendered when his owner could no longer care for him. His blend of playfulness, intelligence, and loyalty makes Rocco an ideal companion. His unique mix of breeds contributes to his friendly and cuddly demeanor. Adopt Rocco and let his light shine in your life! (ME, 10/18/24) **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. ** Adoption fee: $395 covers quarantine, shots, worming, medical records, spaying/neutering, microchip, and an Alabama State Health Certificate. Transport, if needed, is $160. We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs. Adoption fees for Hope dogs and those who have been at rescue for prolonged amounts of time are reduced to $150 plus a $100 transport fee, as notated in their listings.November 3, 2024, 3:08 pm

Story
Where to begin? I'll tell you about this dog named Bandit. He's around 3 years old. A Shih tzu mix, he wears a long, soft coat of black and tan, and weighs only 16 pounds. It's because of his small size that any children in your home should be at least10 years old. Small children don't always realize their own strength and might unintentionally hurt such a small dog. But there are many ways to hurt another, aren't there? Bandit is a wonderful dog who gets along with other dogs, kids and his foster's cat. Still, his previous owner took him to the vet to be euthanized because she &#194&#147no longer wanted him.&#194&#148 It hurts to even think about that, doesn't it? We're doing all we can in rescue to make him forget that, and we know you will, too.

Story
Gizmo's got it all-all those gorgeous looks (button nose much?), excellent house manners ,and big ambitions to boot. Gizmo is working on championship fetch status while he is looking for his new home. He heard people like dogs who fetch, so he's all in with the tennis ball. At home, Gizmo is cuddly, smart and quiet. When he is out walking, that ambition kicks in and he works a bit too hard to achieve "tough guy on the block" status. His strategy is to bark and yell at passings dogs to prove himself. He needs to learn a new strategy and his new family can help. Your reward will be cuteness and kisses. Gizmo lives successfully with a dog in his foster home and has lived with others in the past. Gizmo is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. Gizmo is part of our Silver Paws program for senior dogs and his adoption fee is $250 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. For more information, please email bhutcherson@petconnectrescue.org **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**

Newton is looking for a family that has had dog experience. If you do not have dogs now or have not owned a dog in  the last five years, and or if you have children, Newton may not be the right dog for your family. Newton would like to have a home with a yard where he can spend some time running around.    He is an amazingly affectionate dog. Newton is a mixed breed we presume to be Shih-Tzu / Poodle mix.  He is around 23 pounds neutered and up to date with all vaccinations.  Newton ended up in a local shelter completely matted and in pain.  He was shaved down, neutered and had imbecile hernia repair.  He was too stressed out in the shelter so they reached out for a rescue group to help him.  We got there as soon as we can. Newton is an active, happy, playful dog that gets along well with his new foster brothers.  He seems to be energetic and active and a bit mouthy so he would not do well with young children. Look back here for more information as we get to know him better. Newton is a very affectionate companion.  He seems to want to and will climb into your lap to be close to you.  He like to be in touch with his people either on the lap, next to and touching on the couch, and very close in bed at night with his warm body.

Story
Name: Lucy Sex: Female Estimated Age: 3 years old Best Guess for Breed: Shih Tzu Mix Weight: About 8 lbs Lives With: Dogs and people! Housebroken? Lucy is potty trained and crate trained. Story: Lucy was rescued from a shelter in Oklahoma. We are so happy to have her safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Lucy is a happy sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. We haven’t seen her interact with cats yet, but happy to test her out if you have them. She knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with her humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Lucy is just looking for someone to be her new best furend and we know that she will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Lucy will need an adopter who is committed to setting her up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising her both mentally and physically. She will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive! The fee to adopt Lucy is $450. That covers the cost of all her vaccines, the collar she’s wearing, her transport to DC and her care in her foster home. She’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines. Lucy has been seen by a shelter vet and has been given a clean bill of health. If you think that Lucy might be your perfect match, apply today!December 22, 2024, 5:37 pm

*** Please note that we are no longer taking applications for Sparky. *** Hello! I’m Sparky, a 6-year-old Shih Tzu/Maltese mix weighing in at 12 lbs. I was born on January 29, 2019, and I’m here to bring joy, love, and tons of cuddles into your life. I have a fluffy, medium-length coat that’s perfect for petting, and floppy ears that make me even cuter! I’m a very affectionate dog – I love snuggling up with people and showing them how much I care. I’ve been in homes with young kids, and I was great with them! I’m obedient, playful, and always ready for a good time. I love squeaky toys, and I’m also protective of my people... I think I'm a guard dog! I was surrendered by my previous owner because their apartment wouldn’t allow dogs, but now I’m looking for a new home where I can be loved and spoiled. I’m friendly, playful, and always ready to be your best friend. Let’s hang out, have fun, and be inseparable! ##2258288##
