About dogs named Homer

The following are 11 profiles of dogs named Homer from our database of 42 dogs with the name Homer.

• “Hi I’m Homer! I need a place to play free of dogs, other animals, and people! I get overstimulated in situations with those things above. I live in an apartment with my mommy so finding a fun, safe place to get my energy out is super important for me! I also LOVE to swim 💙🐾“

  — Ariana S.

• “He is black standard poodle with a big personality. He is great with kids, but suspicious of other dogs.“

  — Servando P.

• “Hello my name is Homer and I am a 2 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I am a distinguished gentleman and a connoisseur of sniffing grass and leaves. I am also a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ and Short King community. My deep love for the film and the arts is amongst one of my many passions, deriving deep inspiration from 10 hour nature/squirrel compilations. You can often find me either sun bathing by a window ruminating deliberately on the philosophies of canine deportment, or removing the squeaker from a stuffed toy in an act of performance art and sceptic symbology of transcendental dualism.“

  — Abigail H.

• “My name is Homer and I'm getting new to my new pack and family. I was fostered on a farm as a puppy with a whole ton of space and animals to run and play with. I love people, kids, and other dogs, but I need some special help learning how to introduce myself. I tend to want to run up to any dog I see without hesitation which isn't the best trait to have! I love to explore and sniff new surroundings. I'm still learning how to play fetch and run after a ball and I love chasing my frisbee.“

  — J.R. O.

• “Homer is a rescue puppy. He is 1 year old and is incredibly happy and sweet. He is very well trained and is great with people, but is not fond of other dogs. He’s in reactivity classes to help improve this, but needs a safe space where he won’t be able to see (and preferably not able to hear) other dogs.“

  — Evie M.

• “Homer is our adopted a hound/pointer cross. We adopted him in May 2025. He is a big lovable boy, weighing about 75 pounds, with lots to learn. Giving him the opportunity to explore new smells and run around and burn off bundles of energy in a large, private space is exactly what he needs right now (he is about 3 years old - born early 2022). Once we get his foundational training solid, we will start working on slow introductions to calm dogs so he can finally make some doggy friends (he is very dog reactive at this point in time). He can be unsure of new people, but quickly warms up to most people after a few sniffs.“

  — Rosalynn C.

• “Not good with other dogs, cats or small children. My sister’s dog that I will dogsit sometimes.“

  — Leah S.

• “Homer is a 5 year old husky blue heeler! He's prefers female dogs with LOTS of energy. If you have a heeler you understand they have a different way of playing that some dogs get over whelmed by, if you have a confident, crazy, herding breed send us a message!“

  — Korra S.

• “I love snoring, sniffing and playing with other dogs. I definitely need shade and love relaxing with an ice cube!“

  — Anna K.

• “English bulldog lab mix who absolutely loves people and dogs. He likes to make friends with everyone“

  — Emily A.

• “Homer is a two year old German Shepherd Dog, who we rescued in 2022. He’s a gentle giant, who is currently working through leash reactivity towards other dogs. He loves to run and play, and is SO excited to start exploring Sniffspots in our area!“

  — Maria O.
