  — Maria B.

• “Hi! My name is Anakin! I am a huge cuddle bug and love everyone I interact with. I love big backyards, I love the river but don’t like pools. I spend my day in bed with mom or out on walks to get my energy out.“

  — Sydney M.

• “Anakin is primarily a work dog and is 18 months old. He is super friendly. Though he is a rescue dog. He gets super excited when meeting or greeting people and tends to jump on them. He is territorial so will investigate other dogs. Especially if they are male.“

  — Deleted P.

• “I live and breathe to meet new people and shower everyone with my love and goofy personality. I’ll perform any tricks or throw myself on my back for any crumb of attention. I love training, toys, and food. I also love to snuggle all day with my parents and my cat siblings.“

  — Shayla J.

• “Ani is a 4 year old, spayed German Shepherd with lots of energy and absolutely loves humans. She's very human-centric and loves interacting with my friends and family, the vet and vet techs, and anyone that will give her some attention and praise. Ani is not a fan of other dogs, and will bark at them even if they show submission. She would play fetch and frisbee all day if she could, and finish it off with belly rubs and a cold treat.“

  — Alicia W.

• “Anakin is currently taking advanced obedience classes. He will be starting agility and maybe even rallying! We are currently working on getting his CGC title, as well. He is an active boy that loves to run. He can be selective with people and dogs, more so people. He’s good at ignoring, regardless. I did an Embark DNA test and the breeds, order most to least %, are Australian Shepherd, German Shepherd, Border Collie, Beagle and Collie. 100% good boy who will one day have his own farm to run.“

  — Keira G.

• “Hi I'm a big lovable dork who is very shy at first. I love all people and animals but I think the best invitation to play is growling so my mom keeps it limited. I'm also super protective of my mom so WATCH OUT! But I love people & running around. My favorite game is chase with my mom, tho she never catches me cause I'm so fast. My mom says I'm a large 70 pound dog but I feel like a small 10 pound lap dog & I act as such. I started having seizures about 2 years ago but as long as there's not loud booming or a lot of scary animals I'll be fine. Looking forward to explore some new places!“
