• “He is a boxer and doberman 50/50 mix Has high level of anxiety when on leash or in a backyard and hears/sees another animal. Will bark/growl/lunge at the fence. Once in the same space together he is fine and will be playful.“

  — Heather S.

• “I am a large puppy (79 lbs currently) and have trouble finding others my size to play with. But I love everyone furry or human. It would really make my day to find someone that was around the age of 1-2 yrs old that like to chase and wrestle.“

  — Mary D.

• “I'm a good boy! Humans call me a Mr Potatohead dog. I may be small, but I am mighty, and I will make you love me. Hugs and Kisses!“

  — Joanna H.

• “I’m a rescue from El Paso. I may be 7 but I may be 9. It’s hard to know. I’m the most handsome dog in my neighborhood (that’s what people say when they meet me). I put up with my little sister Bitty but do not have as much energy as she does. I’m pretty chill as long as my mom Amy is nearby. If I could, I’d sleep in her lap 24/7 because she is my happy place.“

  — Zach E.

• “I am Baxter I am 14 but you would not know that by looking at me or seeing me play. I love cuddles and swimming!“

  — Colleen F.

  — Bri L.

• “Hi I’m Baxter, I’m a handsome guy, I love going to the spa and getting my hair done. I also love playing tug a war, catch, swimming, long walks, hikes, camping, I love playing games and exploring, I can also snuggle with the best of them when my family wants to have those days. I’m a snuggle dog. Like a live teddy bear.“

  — Jennifer S.

  — Katharine B.

• “I’m very small and and sweet but can sometimes be aggressive because of my hydrocephalus!“

  — Mindy B.

• “Baxter is a third chance shelter rescue dog who lives to chase balls, cuddle on the couch, and play wrestle with his buddy Milo, but he can be reactive around other dogs. This probably stems from his time in the shelter, and his time before us that we will never fully know about. Baxter has been with us for 5 years, and we work with him every day to ensure he lives his best life from now on.“

  — Moira C.
