• “My name is Kenny and I’m a 2 year old border collie mix. My dad recused me as a puppy! I love to cuddle and play. Other dogs aren’t my favorite and make me anxious but I love humans as long as I get a proper introduction. I have lots of energy and my mom says I’m the fastest dog she knows.“

  — Josue C.

• “I am the most adorable friendliest (mom says to friendly) playful tripaw around. Everyone knows me in my neighborhood I'm kind of a big deal.“

  — Louise H.

• “Kenny is my soul dog. Like a typical hound dog, he likes basking in the sun, smelling all the smells, talking up a storm, and eating lots of food. His reactivity has not limited our bond, but strengthened it instead. He is an all around good dog, a mama’s boy, and my bestfriend.“

  — Zoe E.

• “Hi I’m Kenny! I’m a staffy mix with lots of love. I enjoy smelling everything I find, watching out the window for the neighbors to walk by, and running freely! I play hard and love hard.“

  — Dustin L.

• “Kenny is a 3 year old border collie who’s completely obsessed with fetch and walks and life in general. He’s definitely got the border collie intelligence and has always used that power for good. He really is the best boy, however he was a Covid puppy so we’ve really struggled to get him properly socialized. He’s improving everyday but he’s utterly terrified of strange dogs.“

  — Sarah C.

• “Both curious and a little frightened of the outside world. I feel more brave with Dolly though!“

  — Anna B.

• “Kenny is a big baby. He LOVES people and kids. He thinks he’s is a small dog even though he’s 100 lbs.“

  — Naomi F.

  — Katherine F.

• “I'm Kenny! My favorite thing in the world is tennis balls, second only by any body of water! I love to swim and get chased by my brother, even though he has a hard time catching me. I get anxious when I'm not with my parents, but I love my trainer and she helps me with my big feelings!“

  — Mary M.

• “A well behaved & trained Queensland blue heeler - he loves the western horse lifestyle - cows or no cows he’s down - on a “sit stay “ ! lol 🐕‍🦺“

  — Lori R.

• “Hi! My name is Kenny and I’m 1.5 year old neutered boy pup. I’m not a shy guy at all and warm up to both people and dogs pretty quick (if anything I’m pickier with people!). I am a ladies’ man so I do GREAT with girls of any medium to XXL sizes (I’m not too interested in small dogs, sorry!). My parents always take me on hikes, on the beach… I recently started loving water! While I love running around and getting the zoomies with my friends, my go-to playing style is roughhousing. My parents say I can be “a lot of dog” sometimes but I just have a lot of energy to give!“

  — Naima H.

• “I am very friendly, but get over excited at everything because everything is still so new! I love sniffing, exploring, running and picking up things I know I’m not supposed to. Thanks for hosting me!“

  — Nabeel R.
