• “I am a super energetic and agile 43-lb male chocolate lab mix (some beagle and border collie) named Otis. I love meeting new friends of similar size to wrestle and chase! I want to play constantly so will need clear communication about needing breaks, and tend to be somewhat submissive though confident in play. I am happy to share toys and love to play tug, but may also want to steal them back because it looks like so much more fun when others play with it! I am afraid of a lot of things while on leash but love to meet new friendly furry friends, though I may be a bit more wary of your human guardians and will be very talkative until I get to know them—then i will be a total love bug!“

  — Jinny P.

• “My nickname is Odie and I'm a little over a year! I can get super excited when meeting other dogs but I mean no harm!“

  — Jayda P.

• “Hi my name is Otis, I am a male Red Nose Pitbull x Catahoula Leopard Dog. I am mainly all black, with some white markings. Although I may be known as a bully breed and may look mean to some people, I promise that I am super friendly, and just want all the love in the world from everyone. (I absolutely LOVE being petted, it's one of my favorite things in the world) I do also have ALOT of energy and get excited very easily and am still trying to learn all of my good boy manners, so I need my own personal space with no distractions from other humans or animals so I can run around and explore, and be able to wear off all that energy I have! Thanks for reading and I look forward to meeting you and hopefully exploring your SniffSpot! Otis 🐾🖤“

  — Brittany B.

• “Hello, I’m Otis. No longer the youngest of my pack, Teddy is what my mama calls my brother dad and Astro is my mom, I am her first born pup out of nine, so my human mom decided to keep me because she fell in love. I have a new ish sister named Marley and she is my bestie, sometimes mama calls us frenemies and laughs. I’m known in daycare as the sweet happy go lucky fella who is obsessed with fetch you’ll usually find me with a ball in my mouth sometimes I even fall asleep with it. My breed is Australian Shepherd and retriever lab. My mom is the boss of me even though I’m twice her size she keeps me humble.“

  — Sesarena C.
