• “I am a spirited big boy with lots of energy! I love to play with all dogs, all shapes and sizes. I am good with my big hoomans, but am a bit scared of the little hoomans. I love to chew on stix and run in the grass!“

  — Natalie C.

• “I’m Dudley and so excited to finally be with my furever family as of May 2022! In my short 8 months or so of life I’ve had several homes and haven’t had a lot of time to really settle in anywhere… but I’m working hard, and am a very quick learner! I’m looking for spaces that I can explore new sights and smells while I strengthen my social skills with my parents and trainer at home.“

  — Belinda H.

• “6 year old Shar Pei. likes to mainly sunbathe but will join in on the fun when he feels like it.“

  — Brianna C.

• “Hello there I'm Dudley! I'm TJ's big brother and I like to boss him around. I may be small but my personality is BIG. My mom's call me a sour patch kid because of how quickly I can go from barking at other dogs to being held like a baby and snoring in my mom's arms! When I'm outside I love to chase ball and play with my brother! As long as there's a fence around the yard, I'm ready to run and play!“

  — Sarah A.

• “Hey who is that at the door? Why is that dog walking past my house?“

  — Jeff M.

• “I am a mini aussie and I am 5 months old today. I am fully vaccinated. I have an abundance of energy and I live in an apartment. My humans love me and try to help me release my energy. But i need more, more, more play time outside. So when my mom found Sniffspot, I got super excited. I need to learn to be calm when I'm on my leash and I need to learn recall commands so I can stay safe. This is what I hope to learn when we go to the Sniffspot. Yay ! I'm super excited. Time to go. I have to run and chase my ball now!“

  — Brenda H.

• “I foster failed Dudley after his original owner surrendered him. He is reactive so Sniffspot is perfect for him!“

  — Amy S.

• “I'm just a loving, well mannered GSD who was born during covid so I didn't have a chance to become very socialized with humans or other dogs but I love and protect my family and I'm fairly handsome from what my Mom and Dad tell me.“

  — Todd B.

• “Dudley was a hardened street pup on the streets of Durham before he was rescued by APS. Now he lives in the lap of luxury with his moms and siblings.“

  — Carmen R.

• “My name is Dudley. I was found under a shed covered in fleas, now I sleep in a king size bed and rule my household. I am short king, but I am so fast (in my opinion), that you may not even see my run by. My mom thinks I have a lot of dachshund in me… whatever that means. I love my sister and my multiple moms/aunties!“

  — Mara J.

• “Typical standard doxie. Loves to chase and be chased and bark (and bark, and bark)“

  — Don H.
