• “I'm a little socially awkward, but love play time at daycare. I like to learn new tricks for treat, and love to swim. When I am happy I like to give my human two licks & a nibble on her nose.“

  — Kate L.

• “I love everyone and everything. I believe that you never have to grow up, you can be a puppy forever! At 14 years, I still act like I'm 14 months with my floppy play and big smile.“

  — Kayla C.

• “Hi! I am a super energetic baby:) I love to chase squirrels, wrestle, and I appreciate extra kibble for dinner! I am very friendly and abrasive.“

  — Melody R.

• “Hi! I am about 6 years old and was rescued about 3 years ago! I love puppies, and most other dogs as long as they listen to me when I say enough is enough. Fences can kinda frustrate me sometimes because I don’t like other dogs yelling at me like they’re angry when I just wanna go sniff! I can be protective of my mom. Im a little head strong but I’m sweet! I love water and the lab really jumps out once I hear a plop in the water, I’m in there! Food is the way to my heart. And maybe a good head scratch. I’m really great with young dogs and puppies because I feel the need to boss them around and teach them how to be the one of the best dogs ever, like me. Plus I like their energy, it wears off on me. I like to help my mom out with fostering!“

  — Sarina F.

• “My job is to make sure mom is safe, when we're not working she takes us to all sorts of new places to explore! But my favorite place will always be napping at her feet.“

  — Thaiza P.

• “Adopted Lyla 1 year ago. Approximately 3 years old - she’s an absolute angel. She’s very friendly and has a ton of energy. About 28 lbs and runs like a jackrabbit lmao.“

  — Samuel M.

• “Lyla is a very sweet and obedient girl, we recently rescued her and couldn’t be happier about it/ with her.“

  — Gabriela K.

• “I'm Lyla. Im just a puppy, and my mom loves taking me to new places to explore and let loose! We don't really have a safe place for me to run free so I am very excited about my momma finding this app for me. Can't wait to check out your yard!“

  — Jessica O.

• “Lyla absolutely loves people, but is a little timid around other dogs. She loves to play and snuggle.“

  — Ally V.

• “Absolute goofball, with maybe 4 functioning brain cells. Scared and timid at first but warms up and opens up. Love tug of war and running around, a chase is always fun!“

  — Kenz M.

• “I'm feeling kinda slow these days, with my arthritis and all. Sometimes my back legs don't work, so I'm kinda wobbly. I do my best to keep up with my little sister, and my mom is always there to help me if I need it. She gives me great belly rubs and massages and has the best cookies too!“

  — Alice D.

• “Super sweet but very shy and anxious. She loves to play but doesn't do well in dog parks with people and other dogs.“

  — Serena D.

• “Lyla is such a sweet dog! She loves all humans and has a couple of dog friends. She has to be familiar with the dogs to feel safe and not get anxious. She hasn’t make any new friends as we don’t have interactions with dogs we don’t know!“

  — Adrienne H.

• “I’m a former racing greyhound, recently adopted. I love people and I’m quiet and easy going, but I don’t like other dogs.“

  — Bev L.

• “High energy senior dog who LOVES people and LOVES running and treats! Currently resides with my older parents who live in a condo complex with no fenced yard — unfortunately not off-leash trained & super high energy/distractibility :) — formerly resided in a private housebound with full-around fence, where she adored running around, play-chasing, frisbee, sniffing and exploring, and laying about!“

  — Devon G.
