  — Caryn M.

• “Nervous and old. Used to be a street dog so doesn’t even like being outside. We only take him cause he’s nervous without his buddies“

  — Rebekah B.

• “I lack agility and confidence which has earned me the nickname Potato (grandma calls me Spud). I may have a vision issue which leads me to think everything is a threat and I must bark. I really like fetch, but sometimes my sister interrupts that by dragging me around the yard by the tail. I want to meet other dogs but because of my lack of confidence and extreme barking, most dogs don't want to meet me. It's a sad Potato life, but I have a very loving pack.“
