• “I’m an old man now and don’t have the get up and go I used to but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to fetch my toy. My mom makes me take breaks even when I tell her I’m ready for another throw. I like to sniff and explore too but always have to check on mom to make sure she’s close by.“

  — Crystal F.

• “I was adopted from Renegade rescue in 2019! I’m told I’m the most handsome goodest boy ever. I love to play fetch, sniff everything, and take up space in mom and dad’s bed. I’m not a fan of thunderstorms but I feel better when mom puts a sweater on me. They’re so lucky to have me 🐾“

  — Kylie E.

• “Hello! My name is Kong! I’m a lovable big guy who loves people. I’m not so sure about all animals which why my mommy and daddy rent out private parks! They are working to get me comfortable again so I can have new friend. So excited to be out and play!“

• “Kong is an 8 yo Pitbull/Lab mix. He loves his family, is protective of us and his sister. He's a couch potato“

  — Amber M.

• “I’m a Shepard mix, I love to play and run with all sorts of toys and love exploring new places especially if it has water! Although I’m still learning how to get along with other dogs but I’m in training! I love to explore and sniff a lot!“

  — Haley M.

• “I am a twin and me and my brother can't be apart. We both have so much energy and love to run around.“

  — Kristy S.

• “My Human Mom fell in love with me because I was a big lovable puppy (and I still am!) She calls me “Huggy Bear” because I’m big and I'm huggable! I have my own Facebook and Instagram page - @Kong.therapydog. I was a contender for America's first pet. I have an article in a magazine. So I'm a little bit famous. Besides me being one handsome canine, I am out-going, intelligent, and a charm melting every heart with me kisses. I don't want to brag but I have 4 girlfriends! If you hear anything bad about me, most likely it's coming from my sister Suki. She likes to make waves and get me all hyped up. I like the same activities that Suki does, but i do them better. Did she include swimming in her bio? I love swimming. We don't have a pool at our house, that's why we are filling the forms out. Well, mom is doing the typing for us because WE DON'T HAVE THUMBS! What I don't like, is that my sister has her paw wrapped around my mom. She is such a princess. Lastly my Favorite Foods is EVERYTHING!“

  — Eileen P.

• “Kong is a happy and well behaved dog. He is active and lives for ball play. We recently brought him home from a breeder where he was used to running and running in a large yard.“
