My friends Mom rewards me with treats when I find bones in their yard. It’s a game we play and I love it. Im sort of obsessed with my mom the most I follow her everywhere and I don’t usually eat or drink much at all when she’s not home. I love to swim and fetch in the water.“

  — Margi N.

• “I am a sensitive, handler-focused dog who bonds deeply with my family and my dog brother, Adonis. I am highly dog-social and able to adapt my play style depending on the other dog’s energy level, whether that means playing with high-energy dogs or calmly co-existing with senior dogs. I read canine body language well, will disengage if another dog is uncomfortable, and naturally defer to confident dogs rather than challenge them. While Adonis helps me feel safer and more confident, I do not resource guard and I am still able to meet dogs independently. With people, I am nervous and slow to warm up, especially around men due to their size and deeper voices. However, I have never shown human aggression. My fear response is to avoid, hide, tuck my tail, lower my ears, and bark when I feel overwhelmed. The best way to help me feel safe is to completely ignore me for the first 5–10 minutes. Please avoid direct eye contact, reaching over my head, speaking to me in high-pitched tones, or moving toward me, as forced interaction increases my stress. Instead, sitting down sideways and calmly tossing high-value treats behind me allows me to approach at my own pace. Once I’ve had time to decompress, usually around 10–20 minutes in a new environment, my curiosity begins to take over. I may sniff, walk away, and then return when I feel more comfortable. If I re-engage, lean into you, or offer a soft tail wag, gentle petting on my chest or shoulders is welcome. If I choose to leave, that means the interaction is over and I need my space respected. Once I trust someone, I become affectionate, social, and deeply loyal.“

  — Alizé B.

• “Sweet, shy, gentle girl. Was in the shelter for a while and adopted a year ago. Very nervous but once comfortable, gives all the kisses.“

  — Jianna M.

• “Venus likes to greet people slowly and is most comfortable around those she trusts the most.“

  — Kate P.

• “Venus is a 5 year old, female spay, australian kelpie per the shelter but looks like a shepard mix. Venus is very friendly with other dogs, people, and kids. Venus’ brother barks a lot so it will trigger Venus to bark but she wouldn’t hurt a fly.“

  — dez d.

• “Hi! I'm Venus! I'm a beautiful merle American Bully (but that wasn't an option in the drop down.) I'm a very sweet girl and an AMAZING mama to my 2 girls. I LOVE playing and being outside and hanging on my tree rope. I also LOVE car rides and sneaking up on my mom's bed.“

  — Joanna K.

• “I am a spunky chihuahua cattle dog mix, heavy on the chihuahua, who can be anxious but is also very lovable and loves to explore and run!“

  — Madilyn H.

• “She has a naturally nervous disposition but flourishes during playtime with Mars, my other dog. She also loves learning new things (even though she’s a stubborn learner). Once you start petting her, good luck being allowed to stop! She’ll talk your ear off until you give in. *her breed doesn’t appear to be listed but she is an Australian Kelpie“

  — Meghan F.

• “I'm a joyous dog but I get so bored. I want to be with my human fried all the time. Its just that she can't play with me all day long. And I have o be on a leash when we are out. I just want to MOVE.“

  — Paula L.
