• “Hey my name is Kodi and I have had a ruff life. After being abandoned and living in a shelter, a boarding facility, and 2 foster homes I finally found my super cool mom and dad. They let me run around at parks and play with my friends and also get lots of snacks!“

  — Gillian R.

• “I am the friendliest and most loving of Red Huskies! I prefer people to dogs, but I love my pack, and my family is pretty awesome too! My mom is so cool for taking the 3 of us huskies to Sniffspot all by herself! We can be a pretty rowdy bunch, but when she puts us all in the car by herself, we know we are going to have an AMAZING time!“

  — sabrina K.

• “Hi my name is Kodiak. I am a pitbull terrier mix. My mommy rescued me when I was 8 weeks old. I am now 5 years old. I am super friendly and very nosey. I love to play. When I was younger I was attacked by 2 big male dogs and ever since I have been very scared to see other big male dogs. I start barking at them :( But I am a good boy and very smart.“

  — Valentina V.

• “Kodiak was rescued from Tennessee. His background is completely unknown but it is evident that there is some trauma. He gets very scared of loud noises (metal ones), does not like when strangers reach to pet and has anxiety in cars. He is a sweet and loving boy to those he knows & is always down to snuggle and nap. He loves to be outside hunting animals (birds and bunnies) and to zoom around. His favorite place is the hiking trails!“

  — Emily B.

• “Hi I’m Kodiak!! I’m the most entertaining, loving blue heeler you’ll ever meet. I had a tough start to life, but with some help I’ve gotten the chance to show how sweet and cuddly I really am! I love chasing my ball and I’m great at staying with my people off leash. I prefer to keep to myself and peacefully coexist with friends, but I might come say hi if I’m in a social mood. Please respect my boundaries, and I’ll love you forever!“

  — Alisia G.

• “I love to explore the great outdoors!! The more bushes and trees to sniff the better!! I love to splash, and run around in water but I don’t like to swim. I love to chase balls! But I never bring the balls back🐶 I love my mom and I never want to get very far from her, but if I’m invested in something my recall is nonexistent. I’m the happiest high energy dog around and I get bored easily so I need places with lots to explore and do!“

  — Kateara E.

• “Hello my name is Kodiak but everyone calls me Kodi. My mom says I’m a Rottweiler but I like to think of myself more as a cat like my brothers. I love to snuggle and be lazy but sometimes I need to get all my zoomies out. I love to be outside but my can get kind of boring. I want to make other pup friends but I don’t quite know how to act. My mom is making me go to school to learn how to make new friends but for now I’d like to just play by myself.“

  — Sara H.

• “Hi my name is Kodiak, but my family calls me Kodi most of the time. I just turned 2 and love to explore and sniff EVERYTHING! If you visit my house it gets me in trouble sometimes because I forget my own size but I'm working on it, I promise. I truly am a huge panda that loves to give hugs. I do have a decent sized fenced in yard already, but my real issue is that mom has some health issues going on, so she can't take me for walks like I used to love go on. Knowing I still needed to get exercise, we tried local dog parks with no success. Unfortunately people and other fur friends were either a little bit nervous about my size or too up in my business. They didn't understand I just wanted to keep to myself, wander and explore, letting my nose guide me. After we witnessed a rather nasty confrontation between two dogs (not me) my mom said no more. I thought I had to be content with my stuffies until I heard of SniffSpot!“
