• “Tippy is an old lady who loves her down time and casual strolls. Her favorite toy is a tennis ball, which she loves to chase and keep in her mouth as she falls asleep!“

  — Shannon R.

• “I was locked outside in a kennel every day for 8 years and I never got to go inside to be a house dog like my smaller siblings. I am now 9 years old and I live INSIDE a new home but I don’t have the yard to play in. I am a very hyperactive dog as I do have husky in me. I love to play fetch, run around, and drink all of the water possible. Also, my mom says I’m very picky because I only like 3 toys even though I have a million of them and I only eat my food off of the floor and never out of a bowl.“

  — Kelli W.

• “Hi!! I’m Tippy, my Mom rescued me in 2022 and my life has never been better! I love my toys, going places with Mom, and running really fast.“

  — Sara Anne H.

• “I’m a sweet girl until you mess with my sleep then I growl mean at you, I sound scary but it’s a façade!“

  — Robin W.

• “Hey there! I'm Tippy. My favorite thing to do is cuddle, sniff, and sunbathe. I came from a home where I got bullied, so I am scared of other dogs and going on walks. I'm hoping that SniffSpot will allow me to sniff new places!“

  — Sara F.

• “Hi my name is Tippy and I am a 7 year old rednose pitbull! I love people but not so much other dogs because when I was just a little lad i was attacked by another dog and hurt pretty badly. People are my jam and I love everyone. I am pretty strong and so my dad has a hard time trying to keep me under control. I am happy that he found Sniff Spot so that I can run and play with balls and other items.“

  — Linda J.

• “Hi, I’m Tippy! I’m a 6 month old rescue Labrador retriever mix. I’m just a puppy with senior dogs as siblings so I need someone to help me learn proper playtime manners and of course have fun and get my zoomies out! I love water and running and playing fetch.“

  — Haylee R.

• “Tippy likes to eat, sleep, and summon bursts of energy chasing animals he can’t catch. One of these days Alice... He’s an expert smeller and can hear pudding from two rooms over.“

  — Paul C.

• “I love chin scratches and chicken! I’m leash reactive to other dogs, so I can turn into a little gremlin, but I am actually a sweet boy who just wants to play!“

  — Duy T.
