• “I am a high energy 3-year old pitty that loves to socialize and play hard. I love running around, chasing balls, and playing with toys.“

  — Antonio G.

• “I’m an oreo-colored American Bulldog with a big heart and a sensitive soul who does best in calm, private spaces. I love sniffing, exploring quietly, and decompressing outdoors at my own pace. I’m working really hard on building my confidence and socialization.“

  — Jillian T.

• “Goober is a sweet, silly, and playful pit mix who is dying to be your dog’s new best friend. We are working on his leash reactivity, but he only gets worked up (barking, pulling) because he wants to play. Once he’s off the leash, his tail is wagging like crazy and he lets other dogs sniff him out first, usually while he rolls on his back. He’s hard not to love!“

  — Danielle S.

• “I am six years old, a lot changed after Mom went away. My dad does the best he can then this human came back into dad's life after seven years ~ I guess about a year ago now. She sees me. She doesn't smell of fear like most humans that visit She takes me for car rides. Take me and dad to the park in the pond and only gets happy when I'm a good boy Dad always gets excited when I scare people but this human likes it when I'm a good boy so I try my best. I will say I am smarter the most of the humans. My dad knows but that's their problem. “

  — Randi Lyn R.

• “I'm a goofy Goober. Hound mix, that's still finding my pawsinality as I'm just a pup!!“

  — Josie T.

• “Goober is a very sociable and energetic dog. She is six months old and is always on the lookout for new friends to greet on our walks. She is a rescue with high energy; she was separated from her mom and litter at a young age and needs to work on her doggy etiquette. She needs socialization and patience at this stage in her life most of all.“

  — Allan P.

• “I love people and to play. I like to sneak off by myself to explore and sniff anything and everything I can!“

  — Ani D.

• “Goober is a Boston Terrier. He gets very excited around new places, people and dogs. He can be too loving and excited at times. I'm hoping he calms after getting neutered, scheduled October 18, 2022. He is very curious but he has learned to not get close to the stray cats 😆. He will sometimes bark at first like he is a vicious guard dog, but he is all bark and no bite. Big dogs easily put him in his place, but he will keep trying to play. One time he met a dog more hyper than him and got scared and wanted held by me. He just got Distemper combo, Rabies, Lyme, and Bordetella shots end of Aug 2022 through TCAP low cost vaccine clinics. He had all his puppy shots as well (lepto. was included in that I think). He is negative for heartworms Aug 2022, and on interceptor plus monthly as well as K-9 Advantix II.“
