I'm a goofy dog, playstyle is a little rough and tumble so I need a sturdy, playmate to romp around with. Is that you? 🐕🐶“

  — Terrie P.

If you’re looking for a buddy to run around with, play with, and make memories alongside, I might just be your guy! 🐾❤️“

  — Orlando W.

• “I’m a 3 year old border collie mix that loves sniffing, exploring in a safe space off leash, playing keep away, wrestling with my sister and anything to do with water. I don’t love bikes and scooters. They are the worst thing ever and make me want to run away as fast and far as possible. I’m a nervous boy and don’t like to be touched unless I prompt it and need people to give me space when I meet them so I can get comfortable. I’m just a happy little wolf.“

  — Kate S.

• “Hi I’m Ronan, but you can also call me Roo! I live with my mom in downtown Orlando. We walk around a lot of the lakes and I get a lot of sniffy time there, but mom thought I might want to go run free in a fenced yard sometime. We like to play fetch and mom is good at wrestling. The public parks are okay but not all pups are very chill so mom thought it would be fun if we had our own space to roam and play. I’m super tidy and respectful of your space. Would just love to run without my harness and leash occasionally!“

  — Kathryn C.

• “Hi my names Ronan and I love meeting new humans, hanging out in the back yard and socialize with the goats next door through the fence oh and I LOVE being chased! I am almost 2 years old and I have the best personality! I have two dog cousins that I absolutely love playing with. One is a female that just turned a year old and has the highest energy! I let her wear me out and chew on me! We wrestle a lot once we stop chasing each other and i am super gentle on her since she is half my size. I get so excited when I get to come over and play!“

  — Ivy J.
