Story
Age: 2 years Size: 58 pounds Estimated breed: Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix Spotty needs a home with: resident dog(s), fenced in yard, no young children   Update 7/7:  Spotty is super dog social guy who needs to be with other dogs. He absolutely adores every dog he meets. Spotty is still a little reserved around people but has been making huge strides and seems to improve every day! He has gone through professional training to work on self- confidence and is able to go on walks now and trust more than he used to. Spotty is super submissive and needs a home with a very social dog that will hang out and play with him all day. He loves to play with dogs more than anything. Spotty is also house trained and crate trained. He requires a fenced yard as he can get spooked and we don’t want to take chances of him trying to flee. Spotty has endless potential if you give him the time and patience he needs and deserves to come out of his shell! -------- Spotty is estimated to be about 1.5 years old and 45 pounds. He was found as a stray in SC and was completely petrified at the shelter. He sat in a corner shaking and had to be carried just to move out of his kennel. He came to us very nervous and shy but with the help of his canine friends, he is slowly learning to trust and thriving in his foster home. He has also met and done training with our trainer where he is now comfortable going for walks on a leash and exploring the outdoors!   Spotty gains comfort from other dogs, so he requires a home with a friendly resident dog to help show him the ropes. Spotty would do best in a home without young children as he is still gets timid around new people and retreats. With time and patience, he will show his new family how goofy and happy he really is. All he needs is someone who is understands that just needs a little time to know he is safe. His best quality..... he is AMAZING with other dogs and wants to be their best friend. If you have a dog that has been wanting a sibling, Spotty is your guy!   To adopt Spotty, please apply on our website! www.keytolionsheart.org/adopt   Please note we cannot guarantee the breed or adult size of any of our dogs. All of our dogs are working on their crate and house training. November 2, 2024, 12:32 pm

Story
Meet Mooney! He is an incredibly smart, 48 lb, 5 year old cattle dog mix who was given up by his previous owner due to her illness. He loves people, fetching/catching balls and sticks, playing with his doggie friends and being a goofball. The sofa is his favorite piece of furniture, but he will settle in a crate, on a cool wood floor, lounge in a water trough or snooze in the car. In spite of being nearly middle-aged, he still has lots of bounce and energy to run, jump and explore. He has been introduced to some agility work, and caught on right away. Being food-motivated, training is a breeze. Mooney knows Sit, Wait, Down, Crate, Roll Over & Come. He has the intelligence and focus of a cattle dog, but mostly seeks the affection and companionship of his people. Mooney will need a large fenced yard or property to keep his active brain engaged and humans with time to keep him exercised and entertained. He is a confident dude who would love to live with other playful, balanced dogs or be an only dog. Mooney is house and crate trained and will stay right by your side on a leash if you have a bag full of treats! Mooney 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.

Story
Butters is a chill 7 year old pup who is looking for someone to play fetch with! He is truly a very easy going and low maintenance dog who will fit perfectly well in a quiet household and owners that are willing to play fetch with him :) According to his foster he's house-trained, can be trusted to be left alone uncrated and has no interest in getting on furniture! Butters is super intelligent and knows his name and basic commands such as Come, Sit, Drop It (the ball), Paw, Other paw, and he would easily pick up on anything else you wanted to teach him! Butters likes to be near his people whether they're doing laundry or gardening or just chilling, he lays down and just watches the "happenings" without being disruptive in any way. Butters came to us in a pretty rough shape, extremely obese (85lbs) and with alopecia/patchy fur and skin sores. He's all better now and looks like a completely different dog (55lbs) :) His obesity was due to an undiagnosed/untreated Cushings, which once our vet figured it out, it's as easy to manage as taking one daily pill which he gobbles down with his food. Butters is not your typical "I want to be all over my human" kind of pup, so cuddling constant physical affection is not his thing; he really is content with a couple of pets. Butters' number one priority is playing fetch! No seriously, he lives for fetching! He will bring back the ball/toy/thingamajig or whatever, every time you throw it, and will keep going. Butters has been indifferent/neutral when seeing other dogs on walks, so we think he would be fine living with other chill animals. He's a generally calm fella, so a home with rowdy kids or rambunctious dogs may not be the best fit, because he likes his space. If you're interested meeting Butters please fill out our non binding application located at this link: https://bit.ly/4d7XoKd

Story
Avocado is a year old cutie who weighs a whopping 27lbs! We do not know his genetic make up but will guess he's a mix of Cattle dog and a Catahoula. His shelter notes are as follows: Avocado - Easy dog. Gentle and dainty. Loved everyone. PlayGroup rockstar. Walked in and out of the yard on a leash easily. We need a foster for Avocado to continue his assessment and hopefully give us more insight into his personality. We do not know how he is with children or cats and hoping the foster home will help us learn more. If you're within 30 miles of Silver Spring MD and can host him till adopted, please fill out our foster application here: https://bit.ly/4d7XoKd
