• “Hilarious pit mix who loves humans but is dog selective. He loves to rip up toys, play tug, hide and seek and wrestling with his big bro.“

  — Kim S.

• “Hi, I’m Tater! Mom calls me her wild man. I’m a 40lb ball of energy. I love to play, chase squirrels, run, and let the neighborhood know that I’m on guard duty! I love everybody and hope to get pets from everyone I meet. I have had tons of training classes cuz I really like dog school! It’s fun and there are lots of people and other dogs! Mom says I’m a show off because I always want to be the best one in the class… but at home I am the class clown and can have selective hearing, whatever that means! Mom joined Sniffspot so I could find places with water! Hope to see you soon!“

  — Louise B.

• “He’s a big derp. Lover not a fighter. Prefers to play by himself. He’s just the nice guy that other dogs walk over…literally.“

  — Amanda D.

• “I am a red heeler who loves people, chasing chipmunks, and treats! I am really afraid of other dogs.“

  — Deleted P.

• “I LOVE people and other dogs! I have a ton of energy and love chasing balls and playing in grass.“

  — Lindsey Y.

• “I'm a little red fire-plug of a French Bulldog easily excited and ready for action! My mom says I'm like Yosemite Sam and the Tasmanian Devil. What I lack in manners I make up for with my silliness and handsome looks. I love to play with other dogs and take social cues well. My best doggo friend is a 6lbs Yorkie named Jazmine.“

  — Hillary M.

• “I'm 45lbs of pure fluff. Don't let my bark scare you, it's what I like to do.“

  — Ryan M.

• “Tater is a sweet, lovable muffin! He can get a little crazy at times, but has a great training foundation and is learning quickly! He loves playing with toys and snuggling!“

  — Kiersten P.

• “I love everything and everybody! But apparently because I am tall and gangly, I can intimidate other dogs and they get snappy at me when all I want to do is say hi and play, play, play. Momma says I have zero social skills and zero coordination, but I am the sweetest girl there is. I play great with other pups at daycare twice a week and I love dog parks, but momma doesn't trust the other dogs/dog parents and she doesn't like how she has to chase me down because I have what she says is zero recall.“

  — Brenda D.

• “ABSOLUTELY WILD, always down for a good time or night on the couch! VERY VOACAL!“

  — Kaitlyn L.

• “I’m a very sweet boy once I warm up but please approach slowly as I’m very protective of my mom. I love to play with my squeaky toys and still get the zoomies at 5 years old!“

  — Susan Y.

• “Tater is an English bulldog who loves adventures, but at a different pace than Jake 😄.“

  — Kathleen M.

• “His vet calls him the brown tornado. Doesn’t realize how big he is, but is full of love. He recently got attacked at the park so we aren’t going there anymore🙁“

  — Erica L.

• “I’m a 7 year old American Staffordshire Terrier that started my life on the streets of Houston. I was adopted by a wonderful librarian and we go for lots of adventures together!“

  — Whitney H.

• “7 yo mini boxer :) or he thinks he is, was raised with boxers and loves them!“

  — Sharon G.
