• “Hello my dear friends! I am the one and only Allister McDoodlehead,as mom calls me 🤣! I have life of 4-1/2 months and Mom can’t believe how big her wittle beebee has become! Whatever, ha! I am becoming a very distinguished male and would like mom to quit telling me I’m her bee bee, 🤨. I have graduated puppy class weeks ago and choose agility on occasion with my auntie, who happens to be a professional trainer, however I only respect her for our trips to get a pupa-chino, and the mass amount of treats I indulge while playing on climbing equipment and such, even though she thinks I am obeying! HAHA! I have her fooled! 😬 My wish is to be able to run free for a bit and to stretch my legs at full speed so mom doesn’t have to walk me 1000 times around the block to exhaust my energy! 😆 I come from a very unique line of canine that I am not exactly aware of but am told I am quite special so it must be royalty😬 If I remember correctly my siblings and I were left alone as our dear mother departed over a wall and we were left to fend for ourselves, maybe she was escaping a dragon or such, I suppose I will never know my true royal line. Well, somehow I ended up, our pack, at some place with a kind lady who took photos of me to share the world. A lovely woman noticed my beauty and snatched me to her home. I have been there ever since and I tell you, outside of an evil cat that resides there, I have my well equipped castle. Best of all, my mom rarely leaves my side. She calls me a big baby… I don’t know if that is good or not. I am unsure whether I will get along with those below me yet but I am learning, apparently. Mom stuffs my mouth with goodies when any other fellow canine is in my vicinity. I am not complaining 😬 To all a good day, and hope to never meet you 😬. I just want my space right now, to know my place in this royal world of mine. Peace to you- Allister McDoodlehead“

• “Small pup with an even bigger ego. He loves to run with his pack and refuses to let them leave him behind even if he is almost 15 years old. He still competes in AKC Fast Cat and loves to sniff, swim, and cuddle anyone who will pet him. Allister is current on his vaccinations, heartworm/flea meds.“

David's dedication to providing safe and enjoyable spaces for dogs to play, explore, and socialize is evident in his unwavering commitment to Sniffspot.
