  — Christina C.

• “I am a short and long and a bit chubby English cocker Spaniel. I am from CC. I like my tongue into mum ‘s mouth, I like to steel mum’s socks, undies, whatever from mum. I love to hide mum’s stuff especially when she is looking for that. I need a lot of love and hug and kiss. I need friends, I want to play all the time.“

• “Clifford is the most weird, low key, low energy dog I’ve ever seen. He will stare at you as if you just asked him for rent money, and make you feel uncomfortable about yourself to the point that YOU have to look away. He is shy, and the biggestttt baby. He loves to snuggle, and does not leave his brothers side (stage 5 clinger).“

  — Alexandra N.

• “Cliff is slow as molasses in wintertime. He doesn’t notice much, unless it’s a squirrel or a good scent. He has two speeds: slow and slower. 10/10 on charm factor.“

  — Bethany G.

• “Hi, I’m one and a half years old now and full of lots of energy. My human parents have a hard time keeping up with me! I’m still learning to walk on a leash, and have a hard time settling down when there’s so much to see and sniff!“

  — Cindi G.

• “Cliffy is a Covid dog that we got at 7 months old. Like a lot of other Covid dogs, he has high anxiety about people, other dogs, men, tall men, small children, and more. He loves his family and loves being outdoors. We are working on his anxiety and love using sniffspot to satisfy his outdoor needs without negative interactions.“

  — Ami K.

• “Hi I’m Clifford! I’m a one year old border collie. I love to run and play! My mom takes me for long walks and thinks that will tire me out, but I still need to run free! I love getting pets from people and am friendly with other dogs.“

  — Julia J.

• “Nice people adopted me three years ago and I have a little sister who bites my ankles sometimes. I think I’ll keep them“

  — Debbie E.

• “I'm a 3 year old, a little skittish at first, but getting used to people petting me. I like to egg on other dogs to run and play, although I don't really play with them. I just like it when they do.“

  — Maria V.

• “Hi! I’m a seven-year old terrier/shepherd mix who was rescued by HARTT in 2020. Yes, that makes me a COVID pup! I love hanging out at home and keeping my mom company while she works. She tries to take me on lots of walks and hikes when the weather is right! I haven’t had the best experiences at dog parks and want to make sure you feel safe and secure while playing. I hope you enjoy my spot!“

  — Alexandra A.

• “Clifford and his girlfriend are living their best lives having been rescued/adopted out of a puppy mill where they spent their first 5 years of life. Super friendly, mild mannered and playful.“
