  — Bianca G.

  — Cayla B.

  — Lily M.

• “I'm a rat terrier. I hate other dogs and not fond of people either but my bark is worse than my bite. I will be friendly once you get close.“

  — Jennifer D.

• “Hi, I am not sure I like other dogs. I'm a rescue. My mom wants me to work off a lot of my energy so that I could try a doggie meet and greet.“

  — YVONNE L.

• “Skippy is the absolute sweetest boy. He loves every human he’s ever met and thinks they’re his best friend. He is a little nervous with other doggies, he prefers to sit and watch the fun happening. No aggression in his little body whatsoever.“

  — Catherine E.

• “I love chasing my sister and I love love love it when she chases me. I’m a little bit shy and like to make sure mom and dad are close. Loud noises and barking dogs scare me. I’m 2 now so I’m working on being a big boy and getting over my fears.“

  — Oonagh C.

• “My name is Skippy and I’m a high energy, social, and friendly boy! I was just adopted and I’m still getting adapted to my new home. Don’t ask me what breed I am because no one, including the rescue or my Mom knows! Best guess is a French Bulldog, Australian Cattle, and maybe some German Shepherd mix. I hope I can meet you and maybe you’ll have a better guess :)“

  — Jackie C.

• “All I want to do is please my human. I was a service dog to a little old lady and she passed. That’s when my current family adopted me. I am so loyal that I grieved for a whole year. I notify my human when her blood sugars are too low or high by insistently pawing her arm until she gets up to address the issue. I have a weird protective reactivity to all human hugging or wrestling. No can do - I can’t see it and not warn you to STOP - it’s unsafe!“

  — Lisa P.

• “Hi, my name is Skippy! I am an adorable Border Collie, born in November 2025. I have been through board & train, have great recall, on/off leash training and love to play ball! I also love the water, my humans and playing with other dogs. My parents say I’m the sweetest pup ever and they love to make sure I get the exercise and mental stimulation that I need! I am currently up to date on all vaccines and on flea, tick and heartworm prevention. My parents want to wait until I am closer to 1 year old to get me neutered. They say it is to prevent potential health issues!“

  — Sarah J.
