• “Hi, I’m Scout! Chief Sniffing Officer, Zoomie Specialist, and Treat Quality Inspector. I travel with my human in search of great places to run, play, and collect important neighborhood news from every scent I find. Thank you for letting me add your SniffSpot to my list of favorite adventures!“

  — Emily S.

• “Hi! I’m a sweet, curious gal. I’m training to recall and be more obedient. Public dog parks aren’t a great fit for me as I don’t always socialize well with other dogs. I’m neutered and fully vaccinated.“

  — Becca L.

• “I’m scout and I love to play and run around! I have so much energy sometimes I don’t know what to do with it, but my mom keeps me highly entertained. I love snuggles when I ask for them, and I also love my other siblings even though at times they can get on my nerves“

  — Hannah K.

• “I love to chase, wrestle and play ruff. I have some herding in me but also husky and Doberman. If we’re playing with balls I don’t care to fetch, but I want to run after the ball with you. I’m very competitive but if you get to the ball first, you can have it. I’m vocal and that can scare others, but I’m friendly!“

  — Melina S.

• “Scout is a 2 year old chocolate lab who is always willing to meet new friends“

  — Gabe D.

  — Ashbury L.

  — Kathryn T.

• “I had a rough start in life but found my forever family when they adopted me from the shelter 2 years ago. I've discovered that I LOVE to snuggle, nap lol and play with other dogs. I get so excited when I meet someone new, I get a little crazy sometimes 😜 for the first little while. Mom's taken me to tons of classes and I've gotten better but sometimes other dogs get annoyed and don't wanna play when I'm soo excited 🙃. I do calm down after a bit and never get angry at the dogs but a few big dogs have gotten snippy with me 😞. I have a few good dog friends and love playing with them but would love to meet new pups and play more often to practice my socialization :)“

  — Lysa P.

• “Scout is an energetic, fun standard poodle! We compete and train in all kinds of dog sports from rally to dock diving. He loves to swim!“

  — Sofia D.

• “Scout is a 1 year old shepherd mix and is 45 lbs of love, craziness, and cuddles. The one thing she loves more than treats are other dogs! Scout loves a fellow energetic playmate who loves to run around with her. She is extremely friendly, and has never shown signs of aggression nor does she have any behavior issues. As she is just about to turn one, she still has puppy energy and is turning into quite the little teenager! If your pup is friendly, non-aggressive, and loves to run around and play, Scout would love to meet you!!“

  — Cassie F.

• “Greetings my fellow furiends! I'm Scout, not to be confused with the billion and one nicknames my hoomans call me (Scouty Bear, Scout Boo, Buddy, Honey Bee..) You might not know yet, but we're going to be best furiends soon! Have you tried catching a round disc before? The hoomans call it "Frisbee" - more like sorcery! And I can't wait to share my favorite activity with you!“

  — Jasmine L.

• “Hi 🐶 I'm Scout! I'm a field line, extra toasty, extra wild Golden Retriever! 🤪 I'm a year and 8 months old, so I still have a ton of puppy energy. ⚡ I love to swim and wade in the water, it's what I was bred to do after all! I love romping and wrestling too! I completed Puppy Preschool, Puppy+, Obedience, and Agility at the Zoom Room. All within my first year, so my humans say I'm pretty smart 🤓 I'm friendly, outgoing, and absolutely love a good play sesh with another high energy pup! 🐾🐕“
