About dogs named Donut

• “I love absolutely every person I meet. I am not a fan of any dogs besides my sister Ripley. I can jump high and run fast, even though I'm getting up there in years. I still have tons of energy. I love wrestling my sister and being chased by her. I also like to chew on dead palm fronts, sticks, and other nature.“

  — Brian J.

• “Donut loves everyone and everything! He is very submissive and great with all dogs and humans“

  — Ashley d.

• “I’m a young golden doodle. My hair is strawberry blonde, and I like to bring my mom and little girls to play. I will jump to say hi“

  — Stephanie B.

• “Donut’s nickname is nutters. He comes in hot and is very extra. He loves to play but is very loud and physical. Other dogs don’t appreciate his style.“

  — Liz S.

• “I am grumpy and easy to please. I am looking for adventure. I run away. I hate the leash. I am grumpy. Always hungry. Aroo. I guess.“

  — Robert R.

• “I am a recent rescue and my people don't know too much about me, except that I am super sweet - I love other dogs and all kinds of people! I'm still learning my manners, like not jumping on people or pulling on my leash. I love to run and play with toys! My mom is my favorite person.“

  — Christina U.

• “I am an older female pittie. I spent 3 years at HSYC before my people brought me home. Dad says I am between 7 or 8 years old, but the shelter said I was older.“

  — Suresh R.

• “Donut is very loving and sweet. He does have separation anxiety and some anxiety with new places. He loves pets from people and usually just wants to lay in your lap and be held and petted. He doesn’t understand he’s almost 100 lbs and can’t fit in your lap!“

  — Star P.

• “I’m Donut, a lab/hound mix with endless energy and full of love. I can be hesitant of males & children but if you hold out your hand, I’ll gladly sniff and warm up to you. I go to daycare about 2-3x per week so I’m very social. I love all dogs, especially puppies.“

  — Hannah F.

• “I adore snuggling and want to be in your lap any chance I get. I like to follow mom around the house and keep her company.“

  — Lilac R.
