• “I may be deaf but that doesn't hold me back at all. I'm large and in charge and always on the lookout for a good snack. I live with my mom and fur-sister Lilly. I enjoy sitting on the couch, sleeping while my mom works, and riding in the car.“

  — KRISTI K.

• “Petunia is about 8 months old and was found as a stray. She is fearful of being outside of our house and yard. So, she wouldn't join the other dogs at a SniffSpot. But thought it was only fair to list her as one of my dogs!“

  — Linty L.

• “Petunia is an adventurous and energetic cattle dog mix that loves the outdoors. She loves sniffing for sticks to run around with and playing fetch as well as in water.“

  — Marissa S.

• “Well I’m a mixed breed red heeler. I do love love everyone but I’m kinda bossy too. Maybe it’s my heeler or being a spayed girl. I do get along but have some cowgirl talk to say too.“

  — Serena R.

• “High energy, Weimaraner/ terrier mix, 60lbs, in training school so we need a place to practice and let out zoomies.“

  — steve t.

• “Hiya! My name is Petunia and I live with my brother, Pistol Pete, and sister, Nurse! I am a Maltese/Yorker mix and a ball of energy! Nothing gets me more excited than a tennis ball, and I never tire out!! If I could play fetch all day, I would! I love playing with my brother and running the household. I am a very fast runner, the tennis balls never stand a chance!!“

  — Victoria W.

  — Elizabeth “Betsy” H.

• “I'm a very smart young lady (way smarter then my brother). I am a ferocious sniffer and take playtime very seriously. I outsmart my brother every chance I get and even though he's fast, I'm faster! I'm a little more cautious around new people than he is. Pfffft he'll go up to anyone! I like to take a little more time to figure people out. I love squeaky toys, shredding toys and running! I'm a very happy girl and love to be around my people!“

  — Lisa P.

• “I’m only Petunia if I’m in trouble, please call me Tuna. I’ve been in the same house since I was a baby, but when I was around 1 we moved houses. I didn’t like the new one so I busted out a window in the basement to go find my old house. I found it, it was like 15 miles away! No one was there anymore though, and it took my mom 3 months to find me! When she finally found me, it took another week and a whole city effort to catch me cause I’m fast. Since I came home I’ve had some health issues, I was a very irresponsibly bred dog. I’m just getting off a 2 week crate rest so we’re going somewhere special!“

  — Morgan B.

• “12 years old, loves to sniff gross things and roll in the grass. Dislikes cats.“

  — Colleen G.

• “The world is new and exciting and I have no idea how I feel about it yet, but I want to explore everything with Mom & Dad!“

  — Anastasia J.

• “I’m an English Bulldog pup with a hear problem. Surgery scheduled soon. Although I can’t run too far, I do get zoomies that last about 5 minutes. Other than that I enjoy catching crickets and long naps.“

  — Sarah M.
