  — KELLEY B.

• “I was an abandoned stray before my human took me in, so I’m quite anxious around other dogs. I’d love a space where I can explore and sniff around freely.“

  — Deleted P.

• “Cutes little tank. Funny, fast and feisty. Very low to the ground but full of energy. I like to hang either the big dogs.“

  — Keeley K.

• “Hi...my name is Pinky and I am an adorable Schnoxie. For those not familiar, I am a mix between a Dachshund and a miniature Schnauzer. I have the best traits from both! I love food! I especially love it when my family cooks because everything smells delicious!! I wish I could eat more than they give me but deep down I understand that I might get an upset belly if I ate more. And some things are downright bad for me. My rescue family sure does look after me 🤗 And this is the BIG reason why we are here. I love to run. Unfortunately, the backyard at my house is not fenced and I don't want to get into any trouble in case I ran too far....you know, foxes and coyotes 😥 So I'm super stoked that my crew found Sniffspot and now I'll be able to have those run dates I dream about! .....cuz I looooove to run! And I'll let you in on l'il secret 🤫...I may be hard to catch when it's time to go 🏡 !!“

  — Jane E.

• “Henlo! I'm Pinky and I'm a West Siberian Laika, which means I look like a coyote but with a cinnamon bun tail and a foxy face. I was left at the Waynesboro Animal Hospital a few years ago and that's where I was rescued and found my forever home! I LOVE to run around outside and I'm always on the hunt for squirrels and rabbits to chase (haven't caught one yet, but the dream lives on!).“

  — Elizabeth T.

• “Hi there! I'm Pinky, a black lab mix. My mom adopted me when I was just 3 months old, and I've been living a happy life ever since. I absolutely adore being around other dogs and people. Making new friends is so much fun! However, there are a couple of things that I'm not a big fan of. Thunderstorms and loud noises like fireworks really scare me. When those happen, I try to find a safe and cozy spot inside my home where I can feel secure. Thankfully, my mom understands my fears and tries to comfort me during those times. She often plays calming music or creates some background noise to help me feel more at ease. I love to give kisses 💋 so watch out! 👅“

  — Arlene D.

• “Pinky is a fun, spunky fur missile who has a very short list of people she likes but if she decides to like you she is very affectionate and clingy!“

  — Esther S.

• “My sweet, silly boy. A little shy at first but once he warms up he’s all love. 🐾🩷“

  — Annie P.

• “I love playing with my brother even if he drags me around and I’m very protective of my people but also very friendly. Pets please?“

  — Hailey D.

• “Tennessee rescue and the youngest member of the pack. She's a sweet girl and absolutely loves to run and play with her pack...mostly Tootsie.“

  — X X.

• “Hi! My name is Pinky. I am very playful but very shy at first. I love to give kisses and I can’t go to bed without cuddling with my brother or my parents. I love to play fight with my brother and I like taking his toys away from him.“

  — Aliah B.

• “I’m pinky! A rescue pup from the San Diego humane society! I have been previously very scared of people and other animals due to my past but I’m getting a lot better at it! I’m in training weekly, good at recall and basic obedience!“

  — Payslie C.

• “Adorable dog often mistaken for a pig! Pinky has albinism and some hair loss so he has a unique look. He’s very shy and timid in new situations but once he warms up can be spirited and a bit bossy. He loves walks and exploring to sniff and pee.“

  — Laura B.

• “We believe she may be mix of the rare and ancient breed of black Xoloitzcuintli Mexican (nearly) Hairless and likely pit bull, we rescued Pinky from a shelter in Texas and had her flown to Washington State. She was a violently abused doggie, so it is unlikely you will ever see her, except in photos. She is a GREAT watchdog so she knows and alerts us to the comings and goings of everyone.“

  — Linda L.

• “Hi guys!!!! i’m Pinky Dinky and i am VERY food motivated and “fetch” motivated, i will do anything to get new toys and my food, i also love sniffing so much it allows me to understand what is going on around me. i unfortunately was not able to get my shots sooner so my mommy had a hard time socializing me since she was a bit scared of me getting sick, so i am a bit timid of new things and i try doing my loud bark, but no worries, i don’t bite and we are currently working on my socialization and i see myself improving! i am excited to play in your spot!“
