• “Buffy is very sweet . She goes to work with me daily. Shes a barbershop dog“

  — Rhonda B.

• “I am white/buff color and am normally a very athletic and active dog but now that I’m older I don’t race around as much. I used to LOVE swimming at the beach but pools scare me now. I’m learning to adjust.“

  — Holly B.

• “Hi I’m Buffy! I can be shy and nervous around new people, but once I warm up I will give you face kisses! I like to play with other dogs, but sometimes I need a little time to get used to them. I enjoy chasing friends around (I am a herding dog after all), and playing with squeaky toys. I’m an apartment pup so I loooooove to run!“

  — Morgan H.

• “I’m dog selective with very dedicated owners who would like to develop my social skills. I love love love people but some dogs give me anxiety.“

  — Maddi M.

• “My dog, Buffy, is a sweetheart and very silly when she gets comfortable. But she is a very anxious dog when it comes to outside noises. And she often overexcites other dogs at a dog park. Plus, they give ME anxiety. So this is a perfect way to get her off leash and running without her becoming overstimulated and playing solo.“

  — Alani V.

• “My name is Buffy I’m 3 1/2 and full of energy. I’m playful and timid all at the same time. Me and my mom are from Alberta and traveling BC for the summer. If you are up to it, I would love to rip around your yard to get some wiggles out!“

  — Sarah L.

• “I'm Buffy! I live life at a high energy pace. I love to play fetch and catch with a squeaky tennis ball. When I'm all tuckered out, I love to cuddle with my mom.“

  — Kayla H.

• “2 yr Pitty German Shepard mix. Very playful high energy. Loves dogs but shy with new people“

  — Tal G.

• “Hey! Do you have food? Ball? Awesome! I enjoy those things! And cuddles! But I’m not a big fan of other dogs so I don’t get out much. My moms are hoping this app gives me opportunities to smells and ball and explore without running into other dogs.“

  — Kat H.

• “Chihuahua/Staffy puppy mix who just turned one! She is athletic and very loving with her furry friends, though at first, she barks at strange dogs and then comes around.“

  — Gabriela R.

• “Buffy is a 13-year-old cocker spaniel. She is deaf in both ears. Because she did not have any experience with other dogs in her previous homes, she is uninterested in them.“

  — Deleted P.

• “She is a beautiful Catahoula/lab mix, she has never had the opportunity to roam free without a leash. She is deaf so that's the main reason she's always on a leash and unfortunately, we don't have a fenced backyard. I would love to see her running around free and exploring her surroundings.“

  — Paola M.

• “Buffy is a 13-year-old cocker spaniel rescued from a severe neglect situation. As a result, she is deaf in both ears and had limited socialization. But she is quickly gaining confidence (with help from a pro trainer) and learning the world isn't such a bad place.“

  — Danielle N.

• “A very hound+heeler mix! Buffy prefers to explore rather than play fetch, she stays pretty close on our walks but does love a chance to let me get ahead and then run as fast as she can to catch up.“

  — Shea N.

• “Hi, my name is Buffy and my mom would describe me as a social butterfly. She likes to tell people I don’t know I’m a Doberman because I think everyone is my friend. I love to run with my friends and play frisbee!“

  — Risa L.
