About dogs named Popeye

The following are 5 profiles of dogs named Popeye from our database of 14 dogs with the name Popeye.

• “Everyone knows me as Pops and I was the most "senior" at The Barking Lot for the past 7 years. I was a true volunteer favorite, I even have a fan club! The reason why it had taken so long for me to find the right home over the years is because I need to be the only animal in household. I'm fantastic with all humans, and just prefer to be spoiled as the only furchild. My name Popeye likely puts in mind large strong muscles, and while it does describe the big strong guy I am, I'm also as sweet as honey and have a heart of gold! I have proved to be a delightful house guest and one smart cookie who knows Sit, Leave It, Off, Stay, Down, and Shake. I'm completely housetrained and get along wonderfully with humans of all ages. I'd say I'm a handsome, goofy, friendly, happy and playful pup with a lot of love to give. I'm also a pretty romantic, ready for long walks on the beach followed by a quiet snuggle session. I'm great on a leash and have an easy-going demeanor. I can also be an athletic pup and have made a great hiking and running partner. I use to hike regularly with the volunteers at the Lot and was great at keeping pace! I was born in October 2011 but still have the get up and go of a much younger pup! I'm still getting to know my new parents and them me but they promised me that I'd never have to go back to a shelter ever again! Can you believe it?! I have my own blankets and pillow for bedtime and they've given me my favorite kind of toys! You know the stuffed ones with a squeaker? I love tearing them apart because then they turn into more pieces for me to play with! They spoil me with treats too! Who could of thought life could be so nice, I'm thinking I can really get use to this! :)“

• “I LOVE MY MOM! I cry when I can’t see her or be with her, but my fur sister tells me to get over it and I’m good. I’m a very good, sweet boy who needs to have ALL the attention.“

  — Jessica M.

• “Popeye is a friendly, loving rescue. He was adopted from a shelter with no training and some not so great manners but we’re on the road to making him the goodest boy he can be.“

• “I'm Popeye. I've lived a long 14 years, lost an eye and some teeth in the process. I'm indifferent about pretty much everything, but enjoy sniffing around. Since I don't have my right eye, I get spooked if anyone approaches me from that side. My brother, Shame-Us, does a great job taking the unwanted attention.“
