  — Mary L.

• “I’m 3 years old and I was rescued from a car dealership parking lot down South. I’m a happy guy and love all people and my ball…love that thing! I like my sister but she often bosses me around. I protect my mom from other dogs really well. She really doesn’t let me go around them now because of this. Did I tell you I love my ball?“

  — Julie A.

• “- Cannon is a LOVER! Always down to cuddle you. (Watch out or he'll French ya!) - Super motivated by praises and pets. - Always excited and wants to make you happy. - Ridiculously loved at Central Bark Daycare (manager gave him a bday present) - BEYOND amazing at reading other dogs re: personal space and/or food - Once he is able to "stay" for 2 minutes straight (he's just sooooo excited!) he will become a therapy dog and visit people in hospitals and assisted living facilities.“

  — Flannery P.

• “I am a very playful pup. I love meeting new people but I do tend to get to excited and love jumping around. I must give you licks to say hello and I will chase you around until you let me!“

  — Benjamin S.

• “I would describe cannon as loving, shy, and incredible. He is the definition of brave! He was also rescued. He was founded on the streets as a stray with his brother taco. They were very very little, and who knows how long they were out there for and what crazy things they had to go through. Well my cannon man made it through and found his furever home! He was so terrified when we first got him. He would hide and run from us. Any sudden movements and he would bow his head, that told me a lot. This poor boy has gone through I needed to protect him. After a few weeks of working with him and loving him he started to trust us and love us too. He started to connect with chip, they started growing an amazing bond with one another. We saw how attached they were and had to adopt him. Chip came with his name, but we got to pick cannons name which was so special for us. We named him cannon because it symbolizes something powerful like a cannon, and that he is, powerful and can get through anything! Fast forward to now, he found his voice and won’t stop barking haha! He is trying to follow his brothers foot steps, he is starting to bark at everyone who walks past the window/gate. His brother, chip pulls on the leash on walks and cannon is starting to do the same. All of a sudden cannon just sort of stopped listening and we’re not sure why. Over all he is an amazing doggy. He’s a scared boy who’s just trying to find his voice. We show him everyday that he doesn’t need to be scared anymore. He does go to chip for protection and chip gives it to him.“

• “Big lover who has no special awareness. Will blow into you (like a cannon ball) to give you all the love and kisses!“
