• “I look scary but I'm a loverboy. I love to play and run and swim in mucky water!“

  — Shelly A.

  — Ben E.

• “Hi, I’m Ronin! I’m one year old. I’m obsessed with any form of water. I love to run free in big open areas and play jujitsu with my dad!“

  — Julia P.

• “I love exploring and running to my hearts content! I absolutely love water to play and swim in, and tug of war is one of my favorite games to play. Despite my size, I'm positive I can fit on my owners' laps and cuddle with them. I don't like strangers as many of them have been mean to me in the past, and they stress me out a lot, so a field away from everyone is my dream come true!“

  — Ana Z.

• “Ronin loves to get the zoomies, hike, and explore! Backpacking is his favorite activity!“

  — Laurel H.

• “Despite my breeds, I am a couch potato. My mom has tried to get me to play with many toys, but I’d rather herd my cats; I wish they loved being herded more. I am starting to enjoy nature walks especially when there is a river near by. I guess I’ll try some sniffspots because my mom thinks one day I’ll jump over something other than our couches.“

  — Felicia C.

• “I’m always on alert looking for something to chase! Or any threats to my mom! If you’re on wheels or running fast , or look funny to me in any way….look out! I love to run and play ball. I’m very active and happy. If I see other dogs whether on or off the leash I’m very leery of their intentions and sometimes I go at the them. My mom is working on it by socializing at the regular dog parks with great anxiety and caution. I think she enjoys the privacy of a sniff spot to keep her hair from turning gray too soon.“

  — Jenny O.

I love every person I have ran into, if you look at me for too long I will jump on you and give you kisses, I love small humans too but don’t recommend meeting them because of my jumping my parents haven’t been able to stop. I have only meet one other dog that I’ve gotten along with. I love treats.“

  — Hailey W.
