• “I'm Puffin! I am a silly dorky boy! I love to run and play and wrestle and chase squirrels.“

  — Amanda T.

• “Puffin is a little deaf dog with one good eye, he’s enjoying exploring the world and making new dog friends all the time!“

  — Alyssa S.

• “She had been attacked at a local dog park after doing so well for weeks before but after that she’s nervous around other dogs but wants to play so bad she loves chasing the ball and wrestling with other pups“

  — Samantha A.

• “Puffin is a 4.5 year old pit bull terrier mix with lots of energy and lots of love for all other humans around her. She is very scared and nervous around other dogs, but is working on her socializing and friend making skills. She is as cozy as she is energetic when at home and loves snuggling on the couch with her moms.“

  — LeeAnne P.

• “Puffin is a ridiculously sweet older dog, and we'll see if she likes water! She's a foster fail, a licensed therapy dog (for hospitals, nursing homes, rehab centers, schools, TAMU, etc.), and a Target model. She's great with everyone she meets. She loves getting attention and is a real ham. She's UTD on all shots for 2023 including bordatella & lepto, has her 2023 Brazos County License, is on Heartgard for parasite control, and has a veterinary evaluation on file for her therapy work from February '23 which certifies her as of great temperament, excellent health, parasite-free, UTD on all vaccines, and on parasite prevention.“

  — Adrianna D.

• “Puffin is an Alaskan Husky that we adopted from a mushing team in Wasilla, AK almost four years ago. While he loves to run and can hike for days, a mushing team wasn’t a good fit for him. He is very high energy, and we have done extensive training with him. While he is super sweet and well trained, sometimes he forgets his manners when he gets excited. This happens especially when meeting new people or coming across other dogs. Puffin loves backpacking and adventuring with his family, especially if it means we all get to snuggle in a tent. Puffin is not technically a Siberian husky, though that is probably the closest option on the list. Alaskan Huskies are a unique breed that is very common in AK, bred especially for sled teams. He usually gets mistaken for a German shepherd because of his coat. He is a very handsome boy!“
