  — River (.

• “Squid loves chase and tag but can get overwhelmed quickly so she needs a friend that can respect when she sets her boundaries and asks for space! Very good at reading other dogs and giving them space when they need it too!“

  — Kaylan D.

• “Squid is a 4yo spayed Husky mix. She is very fast and very smart. She loves to explore and run. Generally she is very friendly toward people and other dogs, but can be reactive toward small dogs that bark at her and is very prey driven (squirrels, cats).“

  — Allison O.

• “Squid is truly a goober. He's extremely sweet, easy going, and happy to be here. He listens well to his people and he plays well with dogs of all sizes. Squid is still a little unsure of the world and can be a bit shy to start, but he warms up quick!“

  — Ravyn B.

• “Squid is a German Shepherd Pit Bull Mix with a ton of energy. He likes to run, be chased, and chase in turn. He loves to tug. He's not the best at recall, so we're primarily looking for fully fenced in spaces where he can run and get his energy out. Squid does great with other dogs when he's in a playing environment - he loves to chase and be chased. He doesn't love to meet other dogs on leash, because he thinks he should be able to meet everyone and doesn't understand that not every dog wants to meet him. Because he's still learning about boundaries, he's likely to bark at other dogs on leash and pull in their direction, which means sometimes he doesn't look friendly.“
