• “Leo loves to run and play with balls! He’s a blue nose pitty that’s a rescue from MV Shelter!“

  — Selena M.

• “My name is Leonidas (Leo for short), I’m a 6 month old golden retriever. I am the youngest in my family and I have youngest child syndrome like no other. I’m bigger than my big sister and sometimes I forget how big i am. I’m in training to be a service dog for my mommy and I love getting treats. I love playing with toys and chasing my sister. I secretly love it when she chases me back. My big human brother is one of my favorite humans aside from my mommies. I just like to run and be derpy!“

  — Carrie S.

• “He goes by Leo, Beef boy or daddy. He is almost 7 and we have had him since a puppy so any of his flaws are our fault. He is spoiled and LOVES toys. He loves people and LOVES kids. He has had traumatic past experiences with strangers dogs. We loved the dog park but unfortunately he had been attacked multiple times, by loose dogs as well so he is very protective when it comes to meeting new dogs. He listens to us but we do not like to give him anxiety, so that's why I love this new app!“

  — Courtney H.

• “I’m a certified barker. I bark with every emotion I feel. I have no personal boundaries. I will seriously try to get in your face to be close to you and if you stop petting me, I will forcefully use my snout to make you continue. I love running with my best friend, Matilda. We have many places to sleep but we choose to sleep in a crate together. Stray life was hard but I found myself a great home.“

  — Alexandria C.

• “I’m Leonidas and I am a 10-lb chihuahua-mix rescue. I like chicken and playing fetch. I am reactive and bark and people/other dogs, but I promise that once I am comfortable with you, I am the sweetest, most affectionate pup that loves attention and lots of pets. 😊“
