I love to run around and chase the frisbee, but I also like exploring and sniffing everything! I’m an intact male so it’s easier for me to be friends with spayed ladies and any guy!“

  — Colette C.

• “Sweet snuggly guy, loves his teddies and dressing up. Loves to play ball and have a good time!“

  — Amanda S.

• “I am a rescue, taken in by my current owner 2 years ago. My owner thinks I am 7 years old or so. I have low energy and prefer to explore places and while my owner has tried yard games such as jumps or weaves, it takes a lot of treats to get me to follow through. I have not done a whole lot of that especially with the recent storms so my mom hopes to continue working more with me. For now, sniff spot helps me keep my mind and nose sharp.“

  — Annette T.
