• “I’m a laid back 5 1/2 year old blue Merle mini Australian shepherd! I love to be active and play fetch with my mommy, and love to do nose work in the grass around our neighborhood! I’m a smart little cookie, and have grown up at a dog training facility where my mom once worked!“

  — Jordan L.

• “Nessie is a puppy and still learning her manners. She can be mouthy at times but she is the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet.“

  — Kendall H.

• “Though she has anxiety with strangers, Nessie is a sweetheart whose perfect day would consist of sunbathing on the deck and snuggling up in you lap with blankets.“

  — Gwen H.

• “I love treats! I will give you a million kisses if you let me. I don't like water or other dog friends very much. I prefer to make friends with people.“

  — Lauren S.

• “I love food! And sleeping. And snuggling with my mom and dad. And I really love to go for rides in the car. But mostly I love all the food, especially the treats my mom gives me when I'm being really good.“

  — Colleen W.

• “Nessie is high energy and loves to play a LOT. She has what I call "annoying little sister energy" where she sometimes doesn't know when to stop, but it pairs well with the right dog. She's as sweet as can be though, and wants to have a good time 100% of the time.“

  — Maggie M.

• “Sweet brindle pittie who is convinced she's a lap dog. When she's not demanding attention she loves to hunt squirrels and cats.“

  — Connor C.

• “She is very silly and happy when she’s with people and dogs she knows, her favorite thing in the world is to run free. She used to be extremely dog reactive, and after working with a few trainers over 2 years, she has her AKC Cainine Good Citizen and Trick Dog Novice tiles, she is e-collar trained for recall, and she has had a couple successful play dates with new dogs!“

  — Olivia T.

• “Love a spot where I can chase squirrels, roll around in stinky smells, and sniff around.“

  — Emily H.

• “Loves to chase other dogs, but gets nervous if they chase her. Loves playing fetch and swimming.“

  — Deleted P.
