• “I’m Rune! I’m only just a pup brand new to this world. I love playing with everyone.“

  — Patricia A.

• “Rune is a psychiatric service dog as well as an emotional support animal. She is excellent with other dogs and children.“

  — Cecilia R.

• “Rune is a 2 year old Brittany with lots of energy and loves to have fun. She’s good with other high energy, playful dogs who love to run, chase and wrestle. She’s super friendly, but can be over stimulating for dogs who need time to adjust.“

  — sheldyn s.

• “He’s about 2 years old, found him on the side of the road severely neglected and a stray so I took him in. He’s up to date on all his shots, his only health problem is that he’s got heart worm (not contagious and incurable but manageable) otherwise he’s a happy healthy and very pretty boy. He loves attention and to try and sit his butt in my lap the moment I sit down anywhere.“

  — Max D.

• “Rune is very shy and fearful so we’re working on building his confidence! He still needs help learning how to be a dog 😂“

  — Emily S.

• “I'm Rune, a 4 year old Husky mix who loves to zoom around! I love playing with and chasing other dogs!“

• “Hi, I’m Rune! 💜 I’m a fun, sweet, energetic 2 year old field golden who loves adventures, sniffing, and making new friends! I’m looking for a playful bestie who can keep up with me! 🐶✨🐾“

  — Macie D.

• “Rune is an enigma; she loves her cow stuffed animal and her Christmas blanket. We are finding out that she enjoys looking for or scavenging for food. One of her favorite pastimes is finding something to chew on while sniffing everything within a 5-mile radius on her walks. Loves honey and peanut butter, and chicken is a NO NO.“

  — Izabella L.

• “Rune is a mix of mostly German Shepherd, with just a bit of husky, and all of the anxiety and drama of both. She was adopted at 10 months from a relief shelter, where she and her sister had been rescued from being chained up in a yard. I wish I new more of her early days, and it would help explain some of her reactivity. She is sharp as a tack and believes it is her right to smell everything. She is the pickiest eater I have ever met, to the point of my mental anguish, so when we find something she likes, it becomes both of ours' obsession. If you are lucky enough to be one of the people she likes, she is will be sweetest, clumsiest, most affectionate dog you will meet.“
