• “I am a 7 year old super mutt and a very good boy, but I am sometimes anxious around strangers. My mom and dad say that I am aloof because I do not like being pet, but I do like to be nosy. I love to run, sniff, and chase squirrels. I loved the dog park until I was attacked, now I am looking for a fully fenced yard where I can be the only child I am at heart.“

  — Oliver V.

  — Samantha R.

  — Alissa B.

• “Imma lap dog. I like water, cheese and my mama. I love everyone and wanna be your fren. I can’t resist leaves. They the best ever. I like to cuddle. I luv long walks on the beach and swimming. Chihuahuas and men wearing hats are kinda scary. I’m a love bug and despite my size of 180lbs, I believe you should hold me. I have never met a snack or person I didn’t like.“

• “My name is Sirius, but mom also calls me Sears, Bubba, & Fatty. Im a Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dog mixed with Rottweiler, Majorca Shepherd Dog, Labrador Retreiver, American Pit Bull Terrier, & Mallorca Mastiff AKA Majorcan Bulldog. Mom is unsure how old i am because my last owner refuses to give up the paperwork. But my vet says im between 8-9. I use to be stubborn, and very aggressive. Since mom rescued me from my last owner 5 years ago, I've calmed waaaay down. But sorry, I'm kinda an aggressive lover. I love belly rubs and kisses, and sometimes i try to take all the attention. I absolutely love children, especially babies, and most women, but it's a case by case thing with men. I do very well with puppies, and I actually helped potty train my brother when he was a baby.  I don't do too well with medium sized dogs or dogs my size or bigger. I see them as a threat, unless I'm properly introduced and allowed time to get to know them. I do happen to have a tendency to chase cats, rabbits, and squirrels.  I do have a sensive stomach and I am on a special diet, so please check with mom before offering me treats, even though I think I can eat any and everything. I am an escape artist so watch out. But I try to be good cause I can always feel my mom watching me like a hawk. She's alpha if you haven't realized already. I'm not a fan of fetch, I just like to wander and do my own thing. Occasionally I'll join in on a game of wrestle The colder it is, the geumpier I am. My vet says I have arthritis, so mom has to given me something to ease the pain. If it's too cold then mom will take me to potty then take me right back inside. I am very protective, so please don't walk up too fast on my mom, brother, or vehicle. Please watch my body language before trying to become friends with me. Like I said, mom watches me like a hawk, so she'll talk for me and relay the message for me. I am also a certified comfort dog“

  — Tajmeerah W.

• “Friendly with most other dogs, timid when meeting a human for the first time. Has zero recall and is VERY picky (ie treats don’t work for training)“

  — Berta D.

• “SIRUIS IS A RESCUE CANE CORSO. SIRIUS IS IN HIS PUPPY BRAIN STAGE RIGHT NOW. HE CAN BE ALOT BUT HE IS SUCH AN AMAZING BOY. WE LOVE HIM TO THE MOON“

  — Jennifer L.

• “I am super curious about everything. Some of my favorite things are food (I'll eat anything), running, playing tug and training“

  — Kim R.

• “Hello! My name is Sirius! I love to run, swim and train with my mom. I’m a very good boy but people scare me and I will react very defensively if i’m scared! I love other dogs and most animals - besides cats. They creep me out and I will run away from them! I was raised with a Chihuahua sister so I think I am 10 pounds a lot of the time :)“
