• “I’m a 1.5 year old bouncy pup who’s been through a lot. Mom says I have FOMO AND YOLO! I recently had double knee surgery (TPLO) and I’ve been in the road to recovery. I was on a lot of restriction during my puppy years and I developed some leash reactivity and some loud noise nervousness but I’m working through it with my trainer! Quiet places to play help to keep me from getting too excited about people and dogs while I learn to stay calm on leash! I love playing tug, fetch, flirt pole, and chase with friends. I’m only 1 so I have a lot to learn but I’m loving life! I love chasing anything that moves (something else I’m working really hard on!) so a secure play spot is perfect for me!“

  — Bridget C.

  — Michelle V.

• “Hi! I’m Bowser, even though I’m a princess, my dad gave me a boy name. I am eight years old, but I still run and play like I’m just a pup again. A year ago my mom and dad got me a little sister, and I’ve had to show her the ropes. I’m the goodest girl in this family, I have the best manners and get the most compliments! (Don’t tell my sis I said that.)“
