• “I’m a one year old goodest boy. I’m a Catahoula Leopard Dog. I love to run and jump and give my mom hugs and kisses.“

  — Taylor and Josh O.

• “Hi, I’m Bandit! I’m a 4-year-old Blue Heeler with lots of energy, a big personality, and an even bigger love for sniffing every inch of a new place. You’ll usually find me zooming around, chasing a ball, exploring trails, or keeping an eye on my human. I love having room to run, interesting smells to investigate, and a good adventure. If your Sniffspot has plenty of space and things to explore, we’re probably going to be best friends!“

  — Zoe M.

• “Hi I’m 7 and my mom wants to know why I haven’t calmed down yet! I love to bark, jump, run, anything that makes me look cool!“

  — Pepper L.

• “Bandit is a reactive dog in behavior training. He has a history of biting and always wears a basket muzzle around unfamiliar people or dogs. At this time, we’re looking for safe, structured training opportunities and private enrichment rather than play. Safety and honesty are my top priorities.“

  — Deleted P.

• “I do not like other dogs and I would like to experience getting into some water“

  — ANNA Z.

• “Im just a baby. I love making friends and going new places. I’m kind of crazy sometimes but it’s only because I’m so excited.“

  — Hallie C.

• “Bandit is very high energy and loves dogs,cats, and humans. He strives outside and is looking for friends!!“

  — Kassidy M.

• “3 Year old Border Collie mix. Very smart, Very energetic. Loves playing fetch with his ball.“

  — Michelle B.

• “Bandit is a 2 year old border collie / pitty mix with a very playful soul and spirit bigger than my backyard. We call him Bandit due to his habit of sneaking into a room, stealing the first sock or otherwise discarded item on the floor, and running out before he thinks anyone can see him. He's the most loyal companion if you can get him to warm up to you. His issue is that he gets very scared by human people. He will not attack or show signs of aggression, but you bet your butt he will find the furthest corner available to cower in. With dogs, however, he is much more natural and willing to be friends. I have never seen him show any form of aggression towards anything and he just needs a bit of help getting out of his box. When he was rescued, he had an energetic and protective older brother whom he felt safe with. He hasn't seen his brother in quite some time and just needs someone else to feel safe with. He loves to play and show how fast he can run, but unfortunately my other 8 year old dog can't keep up. Looking for a friend for him to keep him social.“

  — Rylen H.

• “Bandit loves bellyrubs, cuddles, and playing fetch! He’s really such a big-teddy bear. He likes to explore, and loves to sniff! He’s gentle and sweet with small dogs and kids. He is also very social with other dogs but he loves to sniff!“

  — Jennifer C.

• “Hello I'm a crazy boy but my momma is my best of friends. I love doing zoomies“

  — Addy G.

• “I love playing fetch, and will play til my Mom's arm gets tired.....I'm not a big fan of other dogs, but I have a few dog friends that I like to play with. Water is ok, especially if I'm hot...my mom takes me to the recreation areas at the river, I just can't run like I like too there because a lot of the cars drive really fast, and I want to chase them. I mostly like to run and run and run though. I could run all day if my mom could keep up with me, for now, I run ahead of her, then run back and forth.“

  — Heather A.

• “Bandit is a very goofy puppy. He loves to stomp around and hang out with his humans.“

  — Jules D.

• “Bandit is a high energy, high drive dog who loves to play chase. He is very vocal and has the opportunity to become overstimulated with another very high energy dog.“

  — Brooklyn Z.

• “I am a lively, comical little boy who loves meeting other people, but not other dogs. I love to play with my sister and brothers, and I just LOVE to run🩵🩵🩵“

  — Kathy A.
