• “10-13 year old Lab pit mix. Loves humans of all ages but very dog reactive“

  — Micah K.

• “Big goofy guy. Loves to chase a ball, and watch his brother & sister play in the water.“

  — Maria P.

• “Seamus is a super sweet 85 lb rescue ham that came from the same shelter as our other dog Luka. He is reactive to other dogs.“

  — Jeremy J.

• “Seamus is a new rescue that is learning he can be loved, have friends and enjoy safe adventures. He is learning obedience currently and has ZERO recall.“

  — Jessica D.

• “I’m a 5 yo pittie mix (I think American Bulldog and some other stuff) and I’m very friendly with people and other dogs. I’m a little lazy and overweight, so my mom tries to take me places to get some exercise.“

  — Elaine D.

• “I am a rescue pup and a big floofy mutt! I love to play, explore, and train. My favorite activities include hiking, swimming, agility, and playing with my sister. I am scared of other dogs and will bark and hide, but I love people!“

  — Kate G.

• “I love, love, love to chase the ball and will do so forever. This distracts me from anxiety over new people or dogs. I love my family and am happy that they are home so much with me, but I would like to run more!“

  — Margo W.

• “I am a chunky rescue on the island of Kauai. My bark is worse than my bite.... I’m really a sweetheart. I don’t get much socializing with other dogs so when I do, I tend to be the boss. I like little dogs and people and sometimes other big dogs (depends on my mood) 🐾“

  — Kristine M.

• “I'm Seamus! I'm very well trained but since I was recently neutered, I like to ignore my very good training sometimes. I love other dogs and will tolerate basically anything! I'm very playful and I like to jump into the air. I love playing with big dogs and small dogs, but I do like to roughhouse sometimes, so a roughplaying buddy is best for me to not annoy other pups.“

  — Kei S.

• “Hi I'm Séamus! People think I'm really big but I think I'm just right. I LOVE people, especially children and babies! They are my favorite. I'm not too sure about other dogs though, sometimes I think I want to play with them but then they are WAY too much and I hide behind my momma. I love to run and I get the zoomies every day. Being in the woods is my favorite because I love all the smells.“

  — April G.

• “Hi I’m Séamus. I’m an American Staffie/Dutch shepherd mix and I’ll be 4 years old in November. My mom and dad decided even though I was giving them a hard time and kept trying to bite my momma they still wanted to give me a home and adopted me from the shelter. They worked with a behavioralist for awhile but I wasn’t having it. So, I would love to be able to explore a larger yard. My mom and dad play with me in our backyard as much as they can every day. I’m not a fan of my neighbor or her dog but I’m doing ok with our other neighbors. They give me treats and the kids blow bubbles over the fence for me. I become very scared when they move to fast and I bark, gruel and show them my teeth. I’m trying hard to stop doing that and thankfully they all understand and help me by never looking directly at me and not running around when I’m in the yard.“

  — Tina B.
