About Connelly

Connelly is one of five puppies born to their mother Vallie right as she was rescued, and he’s been growing up safe in a foster home since. He’s a true mixed breed, with cattle dog roots and possibly beagle or lab in the mix—a DNA test would sort it out, but what’s obvious is his charm. He’s striking with white and black markings, and he’s likely to finish growing into a medium-sized, sturdy companion. Connelly is friendly, affectionate, and eager to be part of any family willing to give him time, love, and attention. He does well with other dogs and lives up to his name, offering plenty of love and true best-friend energy. Like any puppy, he’s a work in progress with house training, so patience and consistency will be key. He’s up to date on vaccinations and was neutered at about seven months old. At adoption, he’ll also be microchipped and prepped for his new chapter. This Aquarius pup is full of personality and would thrive in a household that welcomes him as part of everyday life. Be ready for plenty of play, affection, and those typical growing pains that come with raising a young dog. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
