• “Sherman is a two year-old deaf English bulldog. Although English bulldogs are notoriously common and lazy Sherman‘s energy level is about a 10 out of 10. Looking for other English bulldogs or dogs with high energy levels to connect with thanks. Look forward to meeting your pup“

  — Lily M.

• “My mama says I'm a house hippo. I like to run around but I LOVE rolling in the dirt and getting sun on my belly.“

  — Genevieve B.

• “I’m easy going, very sociable and always looking to have a good time with my family.“

  — Abbey W.

• “I’m a 15 yr. old male. I used to be completely jet black but the years have weathered me. I am so so sweet, very gentle and still playful but I’m afraid of big dogs jumping on me. I prefer playmates of my size but if a big dog is calm and gentle I will be happy.“

  — Laura M.

• “I'm a spunky , chunky, friendly Boston terrier. I'm a little rambunctious at times but super sweet . I love kids and really any human I come in contact with.“

  — Amanda R.

• “I’m mostly herding breeds and have TONS of energy! I have my CGC, but I can still be a little ornery sometimes. You have to watch me with other dogs…I have so much energy that my initial greetings are sometimes a little too friendly, but I’m easily corrected. My Mommy says I’m very “sassy”, so don’t be surprised if I’m relatively vocal, and I tend to bark at strangers and be a little wary at first, but I can be bribed with TREATS!“

  — Heather I.

• “Sherman is a large breed who sleeps most of the day, but loves a long walk or a great sniff-filled romp several times a week. He is anxious about other dogs, but loves all humans and makes the most eye contact of any canine I've ever met.“

  — Meagan R.

• “My mom says I’m a human with fur. Other people have said the same thing. I’m not sure what that means but I’m really smart, I talk to my mom, I can be stubborn and if I don’t get my way I can pout like the best of them. My looks help me get treats whenever I want and pretty much make me the king of the house!“

  — Chris O.

• “Loves his people and sometimes his fur-bro too. Lives to play tug and follow good smells. Takes time to stop and smell the roses“

  — Ellie A.

• “I am a loveable pointer mix. I love to run free but have a stubborn side. Once I catch a scent I only think about following it!! That’s why I need an area to run that is fenced in!“

  — Tammy S.

• “Sherman’s a sweet loving, high energy pup who loves long walks and exploring ! He may have a vicious bark but is the biggest sweetheart“

  — Nathalia A.

• “I'm a four-ish year old mutt. I love you and I'm very happy to be included.“

  — Louise B.
