I'm looking forward to meeting some new friends to have fun and explore with.“

• “Hi! I’m Cleo and I can’t wait to be your friend! I really love playing with other dogs, as long as they are friendly. Senior dogs typically don’t love me because I can “be a lot”, as my mom says. My favorite thing in the world is to sniff. I love sniffing everything I possibly can get my nose on. I love playing fetch (I don’t like to give it back), tug-of-war, chase, and with my frisbee. Watching tiny humans play and running with them makes me so happy I literally start squealing and barking out of excitement. I have sooo many neighborhood tiny human friends, I love when my mom lets me play with them! I do jump when I get excited (especially on men), but I respond very well to “off” and positive reinforcement.“

  — Ashleigh M.

  — Fern A.
