  — Shelby E.

• “Francis is an extra sweet, social and friendly adolescent pup who loves to run free, explore new spaces and play in the water. We love sniff spots because we can do those things safely without the unpredictability of dog parks and heavily trafficked public areas. He’s a super happy boy who loves life.“

  — Denise M.

• “I'm a rescue dog who came from California when I was 1 year old. I love to work for food and run fast, and am still learning how to be regulated when I meet new dogs and people — I tend to get barky and lose my leash manners. When I'm chilling out, I love to be pet and to snuggle close.“

  — Christopher M.

• “2 year old male Boxer, American Bulldog mix unaltered does not like people or other animals due to a dog attacking him as a baby. Need exercise with few to no dogs/ people“

  — Hope M.

• “Champion chewer, expert napper, bandana-clad, freckly-ginger, and all around good boy! Oh! and I am just soooo handsome!“

  — H.D. L.

• “Hi, hi, hi, hi! I’m Francis the female Frug and have been through a lot at only a little over a year old. I am overly excited and possibly loud at first but so much fun and smiley as can be. My new mom foster failed with me because I’m just the cutest, she works from home and I’m the only pet in the house and since I love other people and dogs so much she wants to help me get out more. My experience in Washington (just get here from California in August) has been with large neighborhood dogs and that went well but I’m barely 25 lbs and looking for friends my size. Our neighbor calls me a bowling ball because I’m high energy and super duper fast. I hope to meet you soon, hugs!“

• “I have a lot of training to go and trust to build back from being at the shelter!“

  — Rita v.

• “Hi!!! I’m a standard poodle and I love new toys, places to run, other dogs and especially playing fetch!!! My mom and dad say I’m a big sweet baby. Every other dog in the world is my friend and you cannot convince me otherwise! However, I am definitely an introvert when it comes to strangers. I am shy and all the extra attention I get for being so fluffy and handsome can make me nervous. I’ve learned barking keeps strangers from trying to pet me so I like to bark around new people as a precaution. But give me a moment to realize you won’t try to pet me with without my consent and we’ll be friends in no time!“

  — Meredith B.
