• “I'm a big guy who loves to run and touch house. Oh and I can catch“

  — Nicholas L.

• “Helo, my name is Arfcus and I am a gud boy. I like running and balls and running and balls. Please have balls.“

  — Hailey S.

• “Atticus is a puppy mill rescue. We got him at 11 months old. He will be two this year. He had four homes in the first 7 months of his life. He will bark at strangers, particularly men. He gets along well with the other 3 dogs in the house and the 3 children. He is a bit timid. He responds well to his name and knows a few commands.“

  — Jennifer K.

• “I’m a big boy with big feelings. I’m mostly full of love and enjoy playing with other dogs. Once in awhile I get really anxious about young confident males, unnuetered males and German Shepard with sloped frames. Not sure why as I’m 17 percent GSD🤪.“

  — Nina L.

• “I am a year and a half year old pit bull black lab mix. I love all people and animals and need to get my energy out. I love to explore and play games with my mom.“

  — Kya C.

• “Grumpy old man, I like to take walks for the sniffies and love a good spot in the shade to take a nap. Dog friendly, more like indifferent, most of them have too much energy for me. Biggest couch potato there ever was, but you can hear me howl from miles away.“

  — Kacy C.

• “I enjoy chasing anything that moves fast. My favorite is chasing my dog sister Sadie, or my cat siblings. I’m more of a cuddler than a player.“

  — Kaleigh V.

• “He loves to play and loves people, but doesn’t get along with with other animals.“

  — Sydney H.

• “My name's Atticus! I'm a fully time working boy. I help my person teach dog training classes and act as a neutral dog for reactive dogs. I'm pretty scared of loud noises (motorcycles, loud popping noises like gun shots or fireworks). I'm a rescue so my person had to do a lot of counter conditioning/ desensitization work with me. I'm people shy. It's not that I don't like you, it's just I don't know you yet. Give me a little time and I'll be your best friend.“

  — Macy P.

• “Hello, I'm Atticus, and I am as chill as they come. I was abused and got a shot wound to my leg many years ago and now I am blessed with 3 legs. My Mom rescued me and we have so much fun going for car rides and snuggling. I get tired very easily since I hop around so much but I'm very happy. I love to sunbathe in the grass!“

  — Nicole M.

• “Atticus is approximately 13, can’t confirm because he is a rescue. He’s probably a Cockachon, bichon frise and cocker spaniel blend. He’s a sweetheart to humans and a thug to dogs.“

  — Kathy P.

• “I love to sniff and explore! Playing ball is my favorite part about being outside though. Spending time with Piper my cousin who’s a black lab is also one of my favorite things to do.“

  — Elizabeth L.

• “Super friendly, loves playing ball and has started to learn fetch in the water. Always has energy and ready for the next game“

  — Elida E.

• “I like to run and be chased. I’m very agile and athletic. I love to have one-on-one playtime with my dog buddy who lives nearby, as well as my canine friends at a local day care that I go to twice a week. I’m a smart pup and am very attached to my human dad and mom.“

  — Scott M.

• “Lab mix rescue from Lucky Dog! Born 4/14/2018 and very friendly with everyone. Loves to play, chase and wrestle. Sweet and gentle boy! Up to date with vaccines, a little stubborn but polite and trained… especially when treats are available :)“

  — Franny A.
