• “2.5 year old Super Mutt! Very calm and gentle, a bit anxious at times but we are working on confidence“

  — Em A.

• “Sailor is a 4 month old GSD mix (probably) and really, really wants a friend to meet!! He's still learning how to play properly since he's never had a friend before. He's very nice and might be a little too excited sometimes hahaha. His only friends are the cats at home and one of them hates him, the other doesn't really play fair. He's never shown a single sign of aggression towards other animals, but gets a little sad when they don't wanna say hi to him. - He will be getting his vaccines soon!“

  — Aryanna W.

• “Regarded as “The calmest bird-dog I’ve ever met” by sportsmen over two states - still a little gremlin if she doesn’t get exercised. No bad habits, just loves to play fetch and train with her human.“

  — Laila B.

• “Hello! I am Sailor! I am a sweet Great Dane who loves to cuddle and play with my friend Mooney. I also love to run around and play with toys!“

  — Halle H.

• “Hi! I’m Sailor, a 13-week old mini Bernedoodle. In new spaces, I like to observe and take my surroundings in but after that, I love sniffing and zooming around! I love sticks and eating grass as well.“

  — Stella L.

• “My nickname is BFT (Built Ford Tough) and Dream-Boat. I'm the sweetest guy ever but man do I like to wrestle ... like it's my job. Thankfully I now have a sissy who also likes to wrestle.“

  — Diane R.

• “Hi, my name is Sailor. I'm a bit nervous around new people, but I'll warm up to you the more I get to know you. I love to run around and play with my other dog friends. I also love spending time cuddling with mom and dad.“

  — Kayla N.

• “Hi, my name is Sailor! I was rescued from an Amish farm in Missouri before I moved to Michigan. I was born on February 10, 2022; and I love to run, play frisbee, and dig in the sand. I am a VERY good and educated boy, and graduated from both beginner and intermediate obedience class!“

  — Madi S.

• “Hi I’m Sailor! I used to live in Oregon where I loved running all over the beach off my leash. I haven’t been able to do that since moving to Maryland but I’m excited to find some fun spots to sniff and run around!“

  — Rheya U.

• “Hi I’m a 2year old soon to be 3 Standard Poodle, I have a lot of energy and love to sniff! I am under voice control and am working with mom on all my training.“

  — Yvonne S.

• “My name is Sailor, aka Lady, and I’m 4 months old! I live in Las Vegas now, but was born in Missouri where I lived for the first 3.5 months of my life. I love the outdoors, my backyard and treats. I’m great with crate training but new to being walked, still learning.“

  — Christina W.

• “75lb very well behaved, sweetheart. She’s never met a stranger, loves all animals, people, and kids. Her frisbee is her absolute favorite fetch item.“

  — Melissa L.

• “Hi I’m Sailor! I’m 2 years old and I am a bordoodle (border collie/poodle). I am very energetic and LOVE to swim.“

  — Alexis K.

• “I’m an 8 year old boy that is ecstatic just to be alive and explore the world around me! I love people, love attention, and always try to do the right thing. Sometimes I can get too excited and have a hard time calming down, but as long as I’m by a human’s side, I’m happy. I know basic commands, and love learning new commands when food is involved. I’ve even picked up on a few habits that make my person happy. I’m a very smart boy and you probably wouldn’t believe my age if it weren’t for the handsome grey beard I’m starting to grow. ❤️“

  — Alexa D.

• “Hi! I’m sailor. A 6 yo lab/pitbull mix. I love to play with every human I meet, but prefer space from other dogs. My favorite thing to do is play fetch and tug of war. Treats are my favorite food!“

  — Bri C.
