• “Hi! I'm a young and fun-loving Welsh Springer Spaniel, a rare and ancient breed dating back to around 7000 BC! I love adventures and all things active! I love conformation (AKC dog shows), agility, Fast C.A.T. and scent work! Fetch is one of my favorite games! I enjoy hanging out with my friends and meeting new ones too!“

• “Hi I am Benelli. I was rescued by my mom and Dad. They have worked very hard to get me where I am today. I love all people and have yet to meet a stranger. But not everyone wants to say hi to me and I have a hard time understanding that. If my BF is barking, sometimes I think I should do the same. The shelter said my biggest fault is how I love to jump to kiss people. If you are in my face, I’m gonna smother you with my velvet tongue. What’s so wrong with that? I have become dog selective since mom and dad brought home this thing that cry’s. They call it “the baby” But I thought I was the baby?“

  — Nicole M.
