• “I come across as timid but I really just want to be loved and lick your hand.“

  — Misty B.

• “I’m the fun-loving, goofy one. I love meeting new people because obviously everyone is a potential new best friend… but if you want to pet me, you’ve got to be quick because I’m usually already off checking out the next smell. 😂 My mom says they’re “drive-by pets.” I have bad knees, so I’m not a fan of dogs chasing me, but I do enjoy a good game of chase every now and then when I’m the one doing the chasing. Mostly, I just love being outside, exploring somewhere new, and making sure nobody misses out on the adventure.“

  — Nikki B.

• “Opi is a mutt shepard hound mix. shes very playful super sweet and super fast. dont let her size fool you shes my mighty mouse.“

  — Auna B.

• “I LOVE other dogs and I’m always looking for someone who wants to run, be chased, and explore with me! I’m a tall sighthound mix with lots of energy, but I’m very friendly and just REALLY excited to make friends. I love off-leash time, trails, the beach, and especially swimming.“

  — Olivia G.

• “I’m Opal! I have Addisons disease and I just love people so much but I was born in 2020 so I never socialized with other dogs much so I never grew to like them except for my sister, Topaz of course. In 2025 I almost died from the Addisons but now I just have to have a shot every month and medicine every day and I’m just as healthy as any other dog! It’s just, I can’t handle stress at all so it would be real nice to have my own special space to play where i know I wont run into to any other dogs. Humans though, are always welcome as long as they promise to give me good pets!“

  — Angel P.

• “Hi, I’m ✨Opal✨! I’m a sweet and shy whippet mix who is timid with new people and places. I am always on the lookout for safe places where I can stretch her legs and sniff without worrying about scary dogs & people.“

  — Randy & Lexi & Opal C.

• “Opal is very shy, but let's her wild puppy side show once she warms up.“

  — Kat A.

• “Woof I love following my human brother around daily he’s what my parents call a “toddler”. I like to play if you want to play with me but I won’t force you! I also like to copy people because I’m just a pup!“

  — Azizah T.

• “Hi I’m Opal! I’m 6 years old but act like a puppy. I like to eat other dogs poop and chase my parents or pretend like they don’t exist. I’m not a huge fan of toys but I like to walk around and smell all the things.“

  — Sophia P.

• “I’m a little shy to play but once I get to trust you I’m you a whole lot of fun!“

  — Amy M.

• “I’m a 6 year old Catahoula mix (the brown and black one) that has all the energy in the world! I want nothing more than to RUN and chase my brother, Harbour. Water can be fun to splash in my I don’t like the water to touch my chest. Toys can be fun but not as fun as my mom and brother. I’m up to date on all of my vaccines and flea/tick preventative.“

  — Lauren A.

• “I am a shy puppy who doesn't like being bothered while napping. I also don't like excessive patting of my head.“

  — Mark B.

• “Opal is a high energy border collie/kelpie. She is very sweet and loving. Opal does great with adults and medium/large dogs. However, she is leash and barrier reactive which makes her difficult to take on walks.“

  — Victoria L.

• “I am a little fireball, ready for any and all activities! Oh and treats, treats are good.“

  — Odessis H.

• “A little bit sweet with a whole lot of sass! I may be tiny but I pack a punch and can play with the big dogs. I’m very snuggly and love kisses“

  — Jamie W.
