• “Halo is a smart young corso that loves being around his people and lounging. Gentle but confident.“

  — Ramona A.

• “Hi! My name is Leo and I'm a year and a half old Aussie doodle. I'm a very sweet, albeit a bit introverted and anxious dog! I love people though and will definitely want to cuddle if you're down.“

  — Kylie A.

• “Leo is an energetic 3 year old pup with endless energy. He loves running and playing. He can be initially vocal due to excitement. He is overall a passive play partner and would love a dog friend that will play with him.“

  — Cory P.

• “I am a scruffy 22 pounder who likes to play rough. I do better with bigger dogs as I can be a little bully with smaller dogs and get to rough“

  — Randy W.

• “Leo is a Chihuahua Chow Chow mix, he’s a little rescue with a heart of gold and the most polite sensibility you will ever meet! His birth name was Angel if that gives you any idea, he’s been perfect since birth!“

  — Emily B.

• “I’m a shihpoo half shitzu half doodle so you know what that means half dog half amazing 🐶“

  — Nataly R.

• “Leo is adores ALL humans and will pretty much be anyone’s dog. I can’t put into words how much he loves people, every single one. It’s insane. Unfortunately, he doesn’t feel that way about other dogs. He tolerates most other dogs unless they are intact males. In this case, he will relentlessly make an jerk of himself. He is 14 (I adopted him late in life) and incredibly stubborn so I can’t really correct this behavior. There are two dogs he is pretty swoon over, they are golden doodles (young and neutered)“

  — Jessica L.

• “My name is Leo and I am an Australian Cattle Dog! I am 9-years-old and love playing with humans of all sizes. I had some bad experiences in a shelter before my humans rescued me, so I try my best to protect them, but apparently I’m not supposed to bite? Anyway, I have so much energy and need to RUN.“

  — Erika V.

• “A mixed breed, Shih Tzu and terrier ? Not very social, rescued 2025. Still alot of work to ensure he feels safe. He spent his puppy years on the streets of Victoria, and prior to us, 2 years caged due to his barking, the adopter was not able to break him of the habit. He is learning.“

  — Diane A.

• “Leo is a energy packed Labrador retriever that LOVES to play. He can be a little rough sometimes, in which I swiftly correct and redirect him. He's learning, and already such a well behaved boy. Please consider allowing him to play with your bigger pups. He needs friends.“

  — Rose W.

• “Leo is a 7 year old German Shep/Husky/Lab mix! He enjoys running and exploring outdoors.“

  — Savitree R.

• “I love to go on walks and find new sniffs!! I love to play with new toys and water although I’ve never gone swimming. I like to jump and run everywhere. And I love a stinky snack!“

  — Emily A.

• “I am an 11 year old Goldendoodle who loves plush toys, water, walks with lots of sniffs.“

  — Kamille C.

• “He is very selective but once he gets comfortable he is the goofiest silliest boy!“

  — Ilkin A.

• “I’m an Australian Shepherd with 2 different eye colors.. I have two true loves: my mom and treats (especially treats… don’t tell Mom). I’m basically her shadow and will happily follow her anywhere. I love showing off my tricks if snacks are involved, exploring new places, and zooming around until it’s time for a well-earned nap. If you have treats, we’re probably best friends already!“

  — Katlin S.
