  — Khalsa J.

• “Magnus is a 1.5 year old male Doberman - he is a covid baby and is shy when it comes to new dogs- his big sister Freyja is super protective of him -“

  — Lacye K.

• “I'm magnus. I like running really fast. I love playing with my sibilings and exploring new places. Mom says I'm spicy so I can't really make new friends in public.“

  — Catherine S.

• “Magnus is equal parts delight and frustration. He is sweet and affectionate and likes people, but he is terrible with seeing other dogs on leash. At the same time though, we foster younger dogs for a local recuse and he is always amazing with with puppies.“

  — Ruthann G.

• “I'm a German Shepherd from working lines, very food driven, and I LOVE the outdoors, and water lol.“

  — Tyler C.

• “Even though I am small, I am also a long distance hiker! Earlier this year I hiked half the Arizona Trail with my guardians and I only had to be carried a little bit! I do love getting a ride in the back of my mom’s pack, especially when her snazzy sun umbrella makes a nice shade for me.“

  — Jacinda F.

• “I do not like men in general. Delilah and I went to boarding school together for training a couple of years ago. Unfortunately it didn’t stick and it also negatively affected our personalities. We used to be friendly and outgoing and really playful with everyone, esp. Delilah, but now we are distrustful towards anyone we don’t know, even other dogs.“

  — Charlotte B.

• “I am a rescue, who had a rough start. I am now in my forever home and doing amazing, although I do not get along with other dogs.“

  — Odette J.

• “Hello!!! I’m Magnus! A very happy boy who loves to play fetch and run! I love other dogs and people, but I can get so excited about meeting new friends I bounce on my hind legs on the spot!!“

  — Pip F.

• “I am a very nervous boy. I am terrified of almost anyone and anything. I except 6 people to touch me. Not including mom’s twin sister. I was socialized as much as possible but was a Covid puppy so not sure if that’s my issue or just born this way. I am very sweet but protective of mom.“

  — Holly M.

• “Rescued at 6 years old from abuse. Distrusts most people and all animals other than his sister.“

  — Roland B.

• “Mags is a timid guy who warms up with time. Well behaved and friendly with bursts of excitement.“

  — Richard M.

• “I am a potato! I'm 9. My family picked me when I was 3. I love other dogs, but I don't like people.“

  — Heather K.

• “I’m Magnus! I’m a 4 year old American Bully (my breed and pit bulls are never an option on any breed lists and it makes me sad). I’m a very good boy, I just get a little overwhelmed and a little too excited sometimes. But that’s just my personality! I love people (especially my mommy and daddy, I’m obsessed with them) but I’m not a fan of other dogs especially after losing my sister, she was a beautiful Boston terrier named Penny and she was my best friend. I need to be able to run free and get my energy out, I think that will make me one happy dog! With Sniffspot I no longer have to worry about where to privately run and play without being overwhelmed! I can finally have a place play ball and frisbee in peace!“

  — Kylie L.

• “3.5 year old, well trained, smart, fun loving dog who loves to find friends who like to play until we pass out. I’m looking for a place to swim!“

  — Lane B.
