Once I feel safe, my goofy, loving personality really shines!“

• “Hi! I’m Stella! 🐾 I’m a happy, goofy Lab mix with lots of energy and an even bigger heart. I love making new dog friends, exploring new places, sniffing everything, and learning new things. I’m still a puppy, so I’m working on my manners and training, but I’m eager to please and always up for an adventure. If there’s water nearby, you’ll probably find me splashing around! I can’t wait to meet you! 💛“

  — amber s.

• “I'm an apricot and white Corgi. I have a lot of energy and I'm super happy and love people. I love to play and run, and i'm really fast for my little legs. Sometimes other dogs scare me when I'm on a leash and I bark at them. But I am usually really good when I play with other dogs in an unleashed area. And when I already know a dog I'm always good. I'm very protective by nature and bred to protect the herd, so when I feel like there are Intruders (birds other animals) coming near my pack I will usually try to ward them off by barking a lot. I love life. I can play all day.“

  — Nikki B.

• “I’m an adventurous, curious girl who lives for the outdoors! Give me a brand-new space to check out and I'm in my element. Whether I’m trotting along a trail, taking in fresh scents, or jumping right into a pool, pond, or stream, I’m happiest when I have room to play. If there's water around, I'm definitely getting wet!“

  — David S.
