• “Beagle-mix puppy that loves dogs and people a like. Loves to play but also happy to sniff around.“

  — Melanie L.

• “Gilbert is an adorable fluffy playful one and a half-year-old golden retriever! He loves to chase balls and his sister!“

  — Quinn P.

• “I'm my momma's new (old) doggo! I don't really like other dogs (except my sister). My favorite things are food and squirrels.“

  — Andrea L.

• “Hi! I’m Gilbert, a 3 year-old corgipoo (corgi x minipoodle). I’m a bundle of energy and love running around and playing with other dogs.“

  — Alexis H.

• “I'm a lil guy with lots of energy and my mom is too scared to take me to the dog park because she thinks I'll get eaten by bigger dogs“

  — Katie H.

• “People say I'm shy or an "old soul." It takes a long time for me to warm up to people, but I love meeting new dogs. Sniffing rabbit trails and chilling in a comfy spot are my favorite activities.“

  — Anna S.

• “Gilbert is a fun loving guy with a goofy personality. He’s not much into fetch but does love to chase and be chased. He’s a big cuddle bug when he gets to know you. He is shy of new comers but warms up quickly for treats.“

  — Michele B.

• “I’m an extremely active (maybe a little extra) 9 month old sherpadoodle. My Mimi & Papa think I’m absolutely precious but a little rude and need to learn my manners. I’m learning new things everyday and am a really good boy as long as I am the center of attention“

  — Linda L.

• “Dorky, loving, and curious are three words to describe Gilbert. He has the funniest personality, with a whole lot to say. He will let you know, and loudly, when he needs something and won’t stop til he gets it. Thinks he is the King of the world, and definitely runs mine. But best of all, he is loving and kind. Not a mean bone runs through him!“

  — Kenzi M.

• “I'm a 6 year old Australian Shepherd. I used to go to the dog park to run, but didn't really appreciate pushy dogs getting in my space. I don't like humans in my space, either. I know that's tough for the humans, because I have a blue eye and brown eye, and they like to look at them. I'm a good boy, though, just kind of sensitive.“

  — Megan D.

• “I’m a 1.5 year old Golden Retriever pup! I love all people and dogs but I’m working hard to not greet them when I’m on my leash. My pawrents have a tiny backyard and I really want to run around and play! Everything around me is SO exciting that I don’t really pay attention outside and need to be on a leash. My pawrents would love to let me explore in a safe, fenced area off leash and help me practice listening outside :)“

  — Alison S.

• “My dogs name is Gilbert, and I adopted him when he was 2.5 years old. He was rescued in Cleveland and then up for adoption after being checked over and trained minimally. He is a pitbull who is a bit reactive around other dogs he isn’t familiar with but loves to play with pups he knows! I work hard to manage his environment so he is able to freely roam and play without any distractions. This keeps him safe and happy! He loves people and kids and is truly the sweetest!“

  — Hannah P.
