  — Misha A.

• “I'm a happy mama's boy who's glad to have a home. I keep mom on her toes, and love playing outside with my favorite toys. I also think playing with my younger sister, Baby, is pretty awesome, even if she cheats by dragging me around by my harness. LOL I'm a handsome guy with my tuxedo markings and white mitten feet. I've learned string cheese is a fantastic treat (thanks to a Sniffspot host), and I'm learning to greet others with better manners. I sit and down, I'm getting better at stay, and love to hold hands with you when I give you my paw.“

  — Kammy K.

• “Hi, I'm Rascal! I'm a one-year-old dog and just found my furever home! Here’s a bit about me: -Potty trained and crate trained! -My friends tell me I'm super smart! So far I've learned "sit", "down", "shake, "high five", "roll over", "place", "here", "touch", "wait", "give", "take it", "leave it", "up (on an elevated surface)", and "let's go". I have also been muzzle trained! I hope my new family will help me keep learning new things because I love learning! -I am awkward when it comes to meeting new human friends. -I'm an avid hiker, and will take a swim in any body of water that we find along the way. -I'm an expert at burying toys and finding them again. -Snuggly! -I love dogs! My friends tell me sometimes I'm a little socially awkward, so I want to meet any potential doggie siblings before adoption. -When I get excited, I get the zoomies, so I'm looking for a home with older kids and adults so I don't accidentally knock the little ones down! -Like most people, I enjoy the company of my close friends and family. I like to stay at home or go hiking outside, and prefer to stay away from the crowds. -I enjoy car rides. -Love toys, especially squeaky ones!“
