She was meant to be bred and puppies sold but they never got around to it and we’ve had her 7 years now after they gave her up. She’s SUPER clumsy and goofy and happy go lucky and loves people but tall men scare her, go figure she ends up with me. She hates storms and clouds sounds but she’s got just as much energy as a puppy!“

  — Austin M.

  — Maritza G.

  — Michael F.

• “Hi, I'm Bev's fur baby. She is my favorite human, but i love all humans. I like to run after the ball and have someone try and get it from me. I'm not good at all bringing the ball back. I also love to swim and play with my ball in the water.“

  — BEVERLY B.

• “Great dog but leash reactive, always plays well with Nyx and usually other dogs. If she gets hot any and ALL water is hers and she gets rude and protective of it. Even towards Nyx. Knows basic commands but sometimes chooses to ignore her recall if she's playing.“

  — Casey D.

• “She is a tripod who was rescued the weekend before covid started. Ahe tehn had a leg amputated and was spayed. I dont think she knew alot of love before our family. She is a self taught Diabetes monitoring dog. Many times I wake up with her straddling me barking and licking. She has saved my life as one night my blood sugar was 38. She kept at it until sge woke me up. She is a big barker. I think that comes from a startle response and fear“

  — Lori Q.

• “I love sharing my food and treats with my friends. I love running and starting slowly to get into liking water. I promise I’m a good friend and my owners will tell you the rest if you wanna meet me you know where to find me! Love Athena“
