• “Hi I’m Lemmy! I was born in Arkansas. My birth mom is a Catahoula Leopard Dog and my birth Dad is a German Shepard. I’ve traveled a lot in my short lifetime. From Arkansas to Minnesota, and now to my new home by Owatonna, MN. I even got to go to Canada recently! It’s been fun! I’ve met a lot of people and dogs along the way. I love to play with my adopted Mom and Dad. Dad likes to howl with me - he’s funny. I love my kid - Mom and Dads 2 year old grandson, we have fun together but Mom says I get a little too rambunctious so I have to be careful not to jump on him. I love my new family and they say I am learning commands super fast! I get a little nervous around new people but I have never tried biting anyone, that’s not nice. I just need patience, and once I warm to someone, they are my new friend forever!“

  — Deleted P.

• “I am an Aussie doodle who just wants room to run, play, and explore with my human.“

  — Sarah C.

• “His name is Lemmy. His mama was a stray pit bull I took in so she could have her pups in a safe environment. She was very sweet and playful. I have had Lemmy since the day he was born and until recently he had been going to a doggie daycare 3 days a week for about a year. He now goes occasionally when no will be home.“

  — Pamela H.

• “Lemmy is deaf and was adopted as a stray who was extremely shutdown at the shelter. He is fearful of strangers and new dogs but we're working on this. When comfy he is the cuddliest & most playful goofball you can imagine.“

  — Leo T.

• “Lemmy is an Australian Sheperd, standard size, that loves to play fetch and with other dogs.“

  — Paul & Paloma P.

• “Hi! I’m Lemmy. I’m a 13 year old beagle/border collie mix, and although I am blind, I still act just as young and spry as when I was a pup! I love to cuddle with my family, but am not the best with other animals (other than our other household pets). I am very reactive and do not socialize well, but i’m sweet as can be!“

  — Kelsie K.
