• “Hi! I’m Knox. I’m a Standard Poodle and would love to run and play with you! I love to play chase and play with toys. I have a big brother who is a yellow Lab. He’s the only dog I’ve ever played with.“

  — Lindsey H.

• “I’m a 2yr old bulldog/staffy mix - I look small but I’m sturdy 65 meatball! Don’t let my tiny legs fool you, I love to run, jump and meet new friends. My form is play is usually jumping - guess that makes me seem bigger than I am, but I’m very friendly with all dogs and people that I meet. I can bark and sometimes growl if I’m denied the privilege of meeting someone new. I just a very curious lovable pup who wants to play.“

  — Kris E.

• “Deaf catahoula leopard dog, very friendly once properly introduced. We call him “your majesty” because he definitely has a personal bubble and a preferred way of doing things.“

  — Patricia M.

• “Knox is such a sweet girl! She loves exploring new places and having freedom to run around.“

  — Julianna D.

• “I'm a nervous guy with a tough first year, but once mom adopted me, i only want to protect her. I am smart and love to smell stuff. I love open spaces but never get to go because I bite other dogs.“

  — Stephanie F.

• “He grew up in a small town so there were no dog parks but a lot of family members have dogs. This just means that he does really well with other dogs but he has to go through a period of getting to know them and become comfortable. He likes meeting new people and mainly the only times he will be reactive is if his brother is really stressed out and being reactive, he will back his brother up no matter what. If Bean perceives a threat then so does Knox. So, on his own he likes new people but with Bean he is more weary of them. Knox has a very nasty habit of escaping our yard and running around for a bit. He especially loves to chase cats but only because he wants to play with them, not attack. He can hop a ~4 ft tall concrete wall and can climb a ~5 ft tall chain link fence.“

  — Marisol B.

• “Knox is the embodiment of chill. She likes being around people and sprinting for 35.3 seconds at the dog park before returning to her people. She's happiest when someone sits with her in the sun.“

  — April G.

• “My name is Knox Basinger, I'm a really playful growing boy. I'm a year and a half Stratfordshire Terrier Mix. I'm a Rescue and was adopted by my mom and dad right after my first Birthday.“

  — Amanda B.

  — Samantha J.

My mommy moved me to Jacksonville, Florida and now we live in an apartment and I’m not allowed to run around the apartment and I don’t exactly make friends well with other dogs. But I love my mommy and I love my sister and I love my kitty Vegas. Also, dinner is life and squirrels.“
