• “I am a big dope that tends to not check my surroundings. I throw around my weight so being near children isn’t ideal due to my size. I will try to lay on them and they might get crushed. I am HUGE!!!“

  — Dylan V.

• “I’m very playful and very hyper dog. So friendly even though my bark sounds like I’m not. I’m just so overly excited and don’t know how to contain my excitement 😊 I also love being loved on and lots of pet/scratches too“

  — Annabel G.

  — Amber D.

• “I’m a high energy golden who loves exploring outdoors! I want to be more comfortable in the water because I’m a great swimmer, but I’m still a little nervous learning! I do best in a fenced yard, and would like my sister to join me on my adventures.“

  — Tami R.

• “Hi! My name is Maui! I’m a pitbull but my mom calls me a pibble. Before my mom adopted me I had a rough start to life. I had a scary life with not nice people. Because of my scary life, I had some head ouchy’s that made my ears not work good. My mom says I’m hard of hearing due to head trauma. But she taught me sign language so I can still do some cool tricks! Since I lived with not nice people, I’m picky about who I let pet me, but I can warm up to people. I don’t really like other dogs unless I get to know them for a while. My momma says I’m reactive but I’m still the goodest of boys!“

  — Kate N.

• “Maui loves to run and chase balls almost as much as he loves to sleep! He goes on multiple walks, but doesn't have a fenced yard to run in. The terrier instincts are strong in this one and he LOVES stalking little critters, making it hard to play in non-contained areas.“

  — Jennifer P.

• “I can be a loner but also like to wrestle. I have my moods. I struggle with my weight because my dad gives me too many treats. I always want to eat. They weren't very good teaching us dining manners. I have a little brother, well you know how that goes... We are an interracial family I'm black, he's white. Our human parents love us. Mom is the disciplinarian and dad's just the fun guy. Mom is calm, dad has nervous energy, funny it use to be the other way around. We have a doggy/human family of relatives. Mom is in her 50s Dad is in his 60s T is 33 y.o., our brother visits from time to time and favors my brother Maui M is 36 y.o. our sister is engaged and visits from time to time. I is 10 and she is the best. She's is our niece (M's little girl) and visits every day. She has allergies and even though we are "allergyfree" we can still bother her. She loves us. She named Maui and me. L is M's fiance big guy 34 y.o. never liked dogs until our family. WE LOVE DOGS L is L's daughter. She is 8 and visits L, M and I sometimes. Molo is my brother. He's 2. He's the baby and he milks it. MarmaDUKE is an old timer, 16 y.o.. M's first dog on her own. She rescued him when he was a pup. Great Dane/Boxer mix, a big goof. It was only Duke and Maui for a while. Maui tried to dominate Duke, that was funny. Duke has health issues, it's sad. Diesel is Duke's little brother he's 1. He's a Pitty and like a tiny tank.

I like to swim on the shore line but I don’t like waves very much. I love going for rides with my Mom. My Mom teaches me silly tricks and practices walking in public a lot. I’m doing better with the gentle leader leash. I love peanut butter and fruits. I like to try to chase my cats and they like to pet me. Mom tells me to be gentle. I love to give hugs and kisses! I don’t like airplanes and motorcycles. They are too loud and scary.“
