• “I’m a cross between a swamp dog and a mud monster. I live in the moment and enjoy prancing in puddles, swimming in lakes and creeks, chasing the ball. Meeting new people and dogs. (As long as the don’t jump on me). I can be shy at first, but once you get to know me. I’m just a goofy overgrown pup who loves a good belly rub. I love when my human lets me run ahead to sniff and explore. I just always have to check in with them too make sure they don’t get lost. I’m inquisitive about wildlife, but always come back when I’m told to observe from a distance. I also love climbing stumps and rocks. K9 parkour is my favourite bonding time with my human.“

  — Kaitlyn M.

• “Kita is a deer head Chihuahua, she is kind and calm. She is I believe 8 years old. Sleeps all the time and I would like for her to run around and explore.“

  — Feliz K.

• “Hi. I am a four year old pittie puppy who has a marble coat of ginger brown and white and a beautiful shirt athletic build. I love to run, splash around in water and explore. I look forward to exploring more spaces at my place, without a leash. My sister Kita is mostly kind and patient with me but other dogs sometimes make me scared.“

  — Tamera M.

• “I am almost six years old and absolutely love living with my family. Sadly, they don’t have a yard and I get really anxious around other dogs. But on here they said we could use nice people’s yards to play! Thank you so much!“

• “Hey guys! I’m Nikita, they call me Kita. I was born in Texas where someone abandoned me, I don’t know why but they did. Someone found me and saved me!! They sent me to some nice people who took care of me. Then they sent me to somewhere they called Washington. I lived in 4 different places here before my mom and dad found me and adopted me. Mom took me to training so I would have manners, that’s what she calls it 🤷🏻‍♀️ I LOVE to play but mom said she can’t run like dogs can so she is trying to find a safe way for me to play with other fur babies like me.“

  — Lori M.

• “I am a sophisticated German Shepard husky princess living lavish with my annoying little sister and my mom and dad. I LIVE for water 🌊 and love to go swimming in the bay!“
