I’m still learning a few manners after being rescued, but I’m trying my best and do great in calm, patient environments. Mostly, I’m just here to enjoy the space, follow my nose, and be the happiest dog I can be.“

  — Randy L.

He’s got a lot of energy and is still learning… he sometimes likes to jump and pretend his doggy friends are horses 😂 Ultimately he’ll roly poly and show his belly until your pup gives in! He also really loves to sunbathe“

  — Katie C.

• “Benny is a 1 year old black lab. He is super friendly with people and other dogs! We’re working on being calm during greetings because he just wants to run right up and play LOL. He is very sweet, loves to hike, play fetch and even share his toys with other dogs! He’s played with girls, boys, puppies, older dogs, dogs bigger or smaller than him. His best doggie friend is moving away so he’s looking for some new pup friends!! He is also a bit afraid of water but I’m really trying to get him more comfortable around it. So it would be a plus if there is a pup out there that could show him the ropes!“
