• “He's lab/pit about 2 years old a rescue from Pleasantville NJ. He's full of energy has full potential needs some work with training and socialization“

  — Jamie G.

• “Hi! I'm Knight! I'm a puppy who is 4 months old, just getting used to people and other dogs. I'm very friendly and I love to play. I'm cautious at first, but once I get some sniffs, I'm ready to play! Let's have fun together!“

  — Tabitha S.

• “Knight is a 3 month old 40 pound velociraptor who hasn't quite figured out control of all 4 of his legs in tandem. That doesn't stop him from being his mamas right hand as he learns what it means to be a service dog in training.“

  — Brie C.

• “I’m the nosiest boy ever. I love to run and sniff everything. I love my sister but I’m a little skittish around other dogs. Also, I’m a jumper. I love to look in your eyes and sniff your breath to see what you had for lunch.“

  — Patti R.

• “Knight is my shy sweet and submissive boy. He only does okay with small dogs and loves affection has very short bursts of energy since he’s 9. He is a very anxious fella and is very easily startled or intimidated and will run away but with a lot of love to give!“

  — Natalie M.

• “My favorite nickname is the Golden Dragon, I love to wrestle and play tag with my friends and I know I am very well behaved. I do not tolerate being bullied by another dog, I also do not understand why some dogs are in a bad mood because well I don’t know what that feels like I’m always happy.“

  — Val P.

• “Knight is a high energy, sassy, 2 year old pit & lab mix. While he’s quiet at home he’s very vocal when he wants to play. The only child to two young healthcare workers while hectic schedules Knight hasn’t had the chance to socialize very much. Looking for a dog or two who will play with this 86 lb cuddle bug who loves sticks & is afraid of most things.“

  — Stacia C.

• “Knight is a handsome, high-energy Shepsky with a big personality and an even bigger need to supervise everything happening around him. He is smart, playful, curious, and always ready for an adventure. He loves running, exploring, sniffing every bush, and pretending he is in charge of the entire property. Knight can be a little bossy with other dogs, which is why private spaces are perfect for him. Once he gets enough exercise and investigation time, he turns into a very happy, very tired boy.“

  — Cali V.

• “Hello!! I love to meet new dogs I’m always happy and sometimes it hard to understand with as much excitement as I show. I love to run so my favorite game is chase next is tug of war but I do “go get it”. I have a small sister that is loud and plays with me which my momma says I have to “be easy” with but that’s just so I don’t sit on her. I’m really looking for other pals that are more my size to play with that might be able to keep up with my long leg running. I try to catch squirrels and watch the birds and love belly rubs“
