• “I am 3yrs old and like to trot around outside and carry my stuffies in my mouth“

  — Jennifer B.

• “I love to hike, explore, and sniff. I have 2 AKC trick titles and 3 AKC Rally titles.“

  — Kelsey W.

• “I am a crazy Belgium/Dutch/German shepherd. I only like my brother Tango, and that’s not all the time. I am protective of my humans, but if someone broke in when they weren’t home I probably would just want pets.“

  — Elizabeth F.

• “I love to be with my humans. I love to eat, especially snacks. I like short periods of play, then I'll rest for awhile and drink some water. Mom and dad say I'm a sloppy drinker, I have no idea what they mean, I'm just trying to wash the floor for them.“

  — Marlene D.

• “Hi I'm Bravo, my mom and dad tell me how much of a sweet boy I am and how I need to slow it down sometimes. My vocalizations when I see other dogs may come off as reactive but I am harmless and just want to play and jump around. The world is just so exciting and interesting.“

  — Katie A.

• “Bravo is a very sweet boy that’s still learning how to interact with the world around him. He’s incredibly high drive, and tends to experience big feelings that he doesn’t quite know what to deal with. He’s loud, and big, and can come off as scary, but he’s a complete sweetheart. He’s never bitten or snapped, and is a big puppy at heart.“

  — Zel S.

• “Bravo is a 2-3yo Belgian Malinois with high energy and high drive. He’s a bit of a fear reactive dog and takes a little bit of time for him to warm up. Best to leave him be until he seeks attention, kind of like a cat. He has a very good sit, down, heel, recall, backup, and out commands. Very well behaved under my direction.“

  — Christopher R.

• “I love walks, other dogs, people and treats! However, my parents say I won’t be able to make doggy friends when I make turkey noises at them. It worked for me when I was a stray so why doesn’t it work anymore? It’s a hard life but I manage! My parents like to set up one-on-one doggy play dates but the dog park is too much stimulation for me. My parents say I’m reactive? I think I’m just excited. Who knows!“

  — Sarah I.

• “Hi, I just got a new mommy and she takes me on so many adventures! I was hit by a car a few years ago so I’m a tripawd! I still love swimming, hiking, fetch, and my missing front leg doesn’t slow me down at all! I am picky about new dogs, they scare me. I like to chase the little ones but mommy doesn’t like when I do that. I listen to her though, even if I don’t want to sometimes.“

  — Amber B.

• “we got Bravo only a few months after Ace and they quickly became best of friends. he is the happiest dog i have ever met and that’s not an exaggeration. he loves anyone and everyone and is very confident. he LOVES meal times, i had to get him a slow feeder the day after we got him bcuz he tries to devour it in 2 seconds haha. don’t even get me started on balls. if i go to grab his, he is instantly running to the back door to play fetch. we didn’t even train him to bring it back, he just learned to do it on his own. he is very sweet too and loves to rub on you like a cat, im pretty sure he loves his dad more than me. he also knows all basic obedience and is trained off leash and does fantastic. he always looks back & waits for us on walks and he’s very loyal.“

  — Madison G.
