  — Joanna S.

• “Professional zoomie expert. Part-time model. Full-time treat inspector. I might sing you the song of my people, but I’m super friendly once we meet! 🐺😂“

  — Samantha M.

• “I’m Steve! My dog family includes 2 senior uncles, and my mom. My real mom. See, 2 summers ago our hooman mom fostered my mom and all 7 of her kids, myself included. My brothers and sisters were adopted through the rescue, while my mom and I got to stay here with our two senior uncles. I’m only 2 and I really want to play with other dogs. But my mom is smaller than me, and she’s a tripod.. sometimes I’m accidentally a little too rough with my play. My uncles aren’t very playful these days. I’d really like to hang out with another dog who wants to play!“

  — Theresa E.

• “Hello! I'm Steve! I'm a 2.5 year old Rat Terrier mix that loves dogs and people! I'm so friendly, my owners bought a custom label from my harness that says FRIENDLY! Unfortunately because of my breed standards, my prey drive makes it hard for me to be off leash, despite being gentle, quiet, and loyal. Thanks for giving me a place to play!“

  — Brent F.

• “He is a 3 year old German Shepard with a lot of energy he is needing to burn!“

  — Marissa L.

• “Steve is a tall and lanky love bug with a lot of energy! He is under 2 years old and we are waiting to neuter him for health reasons so we can’t go to dog parks anymore. Poor pup is so social and needs to run off his energy! Steve never likes to be away from his family and is a sweet heart that needs lots of jobs, gets to run and play!“

  — Hannah H.

• “Steve aka Stevie is a rescued mom from the shelter. She loves people and treats, but is selective of other dogs.“

  — Sofia M.

  — Brian R.

  — Stephanie N.

• “A Great Dane who plays nicely off leash and loves to run but barks and kicks up a fuss when he sees other dogs while on leash. We're working on it. In the meantime, we'd love a safe place to play and train off-leash.“

  — Jen H.

• “Steve is a 6 mixed breed w/ 49.9% Australian Cattle Dog. He is a rescue with a forgettable backstory - meaning, I forget. He is a runner, very strong, protective, and has a sensitivity to other dogs so a private dog parks are his only option to run. He is a very good dog and glued to his mom... mostly.“

  — Joyce Y.

• “I'm steve! I am pomsky who has bunch of energy and loves to play and spin in circles like a maniac! My favorite thing in the whole world is treats!“
