It's taken me a long time to trust people and let my personality shine, but I'm getting there. My crazy husky brother helps me be more confident. I love to run around, but I'm easily spooked so I'm only allowed to run in fenced places. I'm super cute and full of energy, but also a big couch potato!“

  — Amy M.

• “If you need me I'll be in my favorite corner of the couch. Mom says I have the cutest underbite. I love to people watch when mom takes us picnics and scenic walks. I love mornings. I get the zoomies every time I wake up. I grab the first toy I see. Sometimes mom has to remind me we need to go out for our morning walk. I love playing with my fur brother Gizmo. Running in an open field is my favorite activity as well as sniff all the grass possible. I can eat blackberries, carrots, and yogurt forever.“

  — Jenna O.

• “6 month old vizsla with all vaccines and microchipped. Very friendly, 10/10 recommend booping the snoot.“

  — Katie T.

• “Peter is about 7-8 years old. I adopted him from the SPCA 6 years ago. He’s a sweet boy, loves his cat brother, follows me EVERYWHERE, loves to sniff a lot, and running and rolling in the grass.“

  — Jamie M.

  — Linda T.

• “Hi I’m petey! I am three years old, and my mom adopted me when I was about 7 months old. I came from Texas and had a rough first intro to life but my mom and dad have helped me learn and grow. However, this new move to New York City has made me so nervous - even going outside is sometimes too scary to me. But I love to run around and play, so I can’t wait to see your yard, where I can feel safe and keep everyone else safe too.“

  — Kaylyn S.

  — Corinne (Cori) M.

• “I love to run and sniff and be with my owner. She says I don't always listen though so I go for sniffs on a longline. I don't mind, she let's me climb up banks and swim. I really like to please her, I love people but she's the best“

  — Erin R.

• “My name is Peter, I am a full Labrador. A little over 10 years old, I love snacking and chasing my younger siblings in the backyard, making new friends is a great hobby of mine too!“
