• “He is a 6 month old puppy very energetic but a very sweet boy who loves everything and everyone“

  — Jordan F.

• “I’m 9 months old or so I’ve been told anywho my momma says I scare the pups away with my eagerness to make new friends and play but truth be told she’s the one who’s scared. I absolutely love toys, water, and humans who chase me around while saying “I’m gonna get you”. I was born with a nose and eyes to explore not to walk in a straight line like my mom makes me so I hope this app does something good for us both :)“

  — Gladis A.

• “I am a high energy dog that is growing out of puppyhood and likes other dogs.“

  — Erik W.

• “My name is Tex, I am a Aussie doodle. I love treats and playing with my toys. I love playing with other dogs.“

  — Jessica R.

• “I would love to play in a big yard and feel the wind in my gorgeous fur bork bork ! 🐶“

  — Lupita D.

• “Tex is a 9 year old chihuahua. He’s my little old man that just wants to be with mom. He occasionally plays with his brother but is pretty much a lap dog. He probably won’t do much other than roam if we come to your home, is more of a “along for the ride” type of dog.“

  — Ava C.

• “Hey. I’m Tex. A bit shy and reserved but once comfortable pretty quirky. Car rides are favorite thing, but food is up there as well. I’m 3 years old and have a little energy, but I’ll never turn down a lounging session. I’m learning how to take in this big world day by day and I can’t wait to experience what it offers.“

  — deevie k.

• “I’m an Aussie mix with exotic eyes. I love to play with balls and frisbees. I’m awesome at catching but not so good at bringing it back.“

  — Leta H.

• “Tex — a lovable Great Dane / Great Pyrenees mix with giant paws, an even bigger heart, and a personality that keeps everyone entertained. Part cuddle enthusiast, part watchdog, and full-time good boy, Tex may look intimidating because of his size, but he’s really just a sensitive soul who loves treats, belly rubs, and being close to his people. He takes his job of supervising snack distribution very seriously and has mastered the art of claiming most of the couch. Fireworks are definitely not his thing, but camping trips, adventures, and quality time with his family are at the top of his list. Loyal, lovable, and just a little dramatic—Tex makes life bigger, funnier, and full of love.“

  — Mandy J.

• “My name is Tex and I love everyone. I especially love you if you pet me.“

  — Andrew H.

• “Hi I’m Tex 🤠 I’m a three year old American Red Labrador. My favorite pastimes are going hiking with my mom, eating yak chews, cuddling, and swimming. I listen well to commands and am very sociable!“

  — Lauren P.

• “Tex is a rescue boy from Texas. I adopted him over the phone to keep him from being euthanized and then worked with a rescue to bring him here to the PNW. He’s been with us since 2/2018. He’s a good boy and loves to please his humans.“

  — Christy R.

• “I’m an energetic happy boy but I don’t like other doggos getting too close to me. I’m excited to be able to run freely!“

  — Ellie O.

• “Tex is about 7 years old and had a rough first couple years of life wandering the streets of Fresno, but thankfully that all changed when I adopted him in 2020! He’s been described as “the grandpa who heckles the neighborhood kids for being on his lawn, but deep down loves visitors.” Through a lot of training and confidence building he’s come a long way since 2020, and while he’s not a social butterfly with other dogs, he now loves meeting new people, exploring, sniffing, rummaging for treats, and ear scratches.“

  — Mel A.
