  — Jay Q.

  — Michele H.

• “I love to play fetch and catch! I’ve got tons of energy and move faster than I look!“

  — Amy B.

• “I get shy around strangers so please respect my boundaries and wait for me to prompt you for pets...I'll be more comfortable if you throw toys for me or throw treats for me. I can answer yes and no questions signified by a fist and a finger wag respectively. If you want me to meet your fur baby, I'd appreciate time getting to know them at a distance during a walk and from behind or in front until we can walk together. If I can focus on sniffing something or on my dad, I'll be calmer around other dogs.“

  — Nemo S.

  — Stephanie Z.

• “Hi my name is Lux! I am 3 years old and love to make my family laugh everyday with my goofy personality and kisses. I have more energy then my body can handle and this tends to be overwhelming for other dogs, so my family prefers to have my play alone. (If you have a fur baby that you think could match my energy please message my mom! She wants me socialized!!!) Despite this, I am very calm and loving with people and have yet to meet one I don’t love! I don’t even jump on them! I can’t wait to use your yard to get my energy out and show off my tricks! My family promises to pick up after me and also keep a close eye on me so I don’t get into things. Thank you!“

  — O'Shen B.

• “I'm a 5 month old German Shepherd/Retriever mix, with a super sweet heart and I love to run and play!“

  — Jamie M.

  — Ashley C.

  — Heather S.

• “Im an almost two year old energetic standard poodle who loves to sniff, run and relax.“

  — Jess F.
