• “Aka “Denny”. Your typical big, goofy male golden!!! Very loving, snuggly, sensitive, and silly!“

  — Kait A.

• “I’m a fun energetic corgi who’s original owner dumped me in the back yard of my current parents home back in Montana. I quickly grew on my new brothers and my new human family giving all the love I could give. I love giving love and meeting new dogs and people and I’m so happy with my life now!“

  — Katherine M.

• “I’m a wild mixed breed with bouncy legs that like to move! I also love to snuggle with my hoomans and meet new people. I haven’t gotten my grown up listening ears yet, so it’s nice when I can go do zooms off leash somewhere. I do get along with other dogs but the dog park can be a scary place when everyone wants to sniff you at once.“

  — Courtney W.

• “I am a 3 year old golden retriever. I love balls, sticks, belly rubs and lots of attention! I love w Mom and I the water.“

  — Neeraja R.

• “Dennis is not fond of unfamiliar people or situations and will bark to warn us of impending danger. This includes floating leaves and the one visible squirrel that is just the scout for the ninja assassin army hiding just out of sight.“

  — Stephanie T.

• “Dennis is the sweetest dog ever! He is and will always be my best friend! He lives people sometimes too much tho and likes to lick! He can be a little bullhead sometimes, but he is very well behaved considering he has had no Profesional training whatsoever! He does not do well with other make dogs tho, he was attacked once and is on the defense now.“

  — Sarah B.

• “Dennis is a young dog who loves to play, explore, and cuddle with his close circle of friends and family.“

  — Elena C.

• “Hi I’m Dennis. I absolutely LOVE new friends and to play. Sometimes I’m too friendly and don’t know when to stop playing. I’m working on this at daycare. I’m only 1 so I’m still learning to respond to social cues. Swimming is the best. Don’t let my eyes freak you out. I’m very tolerant and extremely friendly. I hope you’re friendly too! Let’s be friends IG: dennis_the_aussiemenace“

  — Stephanie M.

• “Three year old beagle hound mix. Loves food and snacks but not so much people. Loves to be able to roam around and sniff as he pleases.“

  — Olivia I.

• “Dennis is a friendly adorable little guy. According to his DNA test he’s 25% super mutt and a mix of 5 other breeds including German Shepherd and Poodle 🐩 He is a Baja pup we rescued in November 2020. He’s incredibly smart and well behaved.“

  — Tawni W.

• “Loves playing chase me with my toys, isn't very good at making friends but loves to cuddle when he feels comfortable. Wasn't socialized as a pup and now doesnt trust all dogs, cats, and people.“

  — Brandon J.

• “Dennis is a loving boy with seemingly endless energy even at almost 5.5 years old and 2 knee replacements later. He loves people, especially children, he loves his dog friends and believes himself to be a lapdog despite his 60 pounds of muscle. I've never seen a dog with so many facial expressions let alone such a big smoothie-face smile. He's such a sweet boy even despite what others may see/hear during his occasional leash reactivity towards some of the dogs that he has not yet befriended. The dog park in our area is disgusting with seemingly no one cleaning up after their dog's so a sniffspot will be a great way for Dennis and his fWiends to run and play without tracking in every other dog's sh*t, to be frank.“

  — Emily L.
