• “I love to run around and play on soft grass. I’m ten years old but still spritely. I’m about 17 pounds 🐕“

  — Amy W.

• “I'm a sweet girl who is very shy around new people, but I love meeting new dogs if they show an interest in me! ______ If you're a human, I will probably be too scared to come near or or let you pet me, but I may sniff your hand! It takes a while for me to feel safe and trust new humans before I open up to them. Just let me make the first move! ______ Although I can be shy, once I get to know you and feel safe around you, I will give you 100's of kisses. ______ I'm still learning my commands, but I'm doing great with sit, stay, come, leave it, and lay down. My loose leash training has also come a long way! ______ At home I love cuddling on the couch with my parents and watching a movie. ______ My parents adopted me in July, and I've been with them ever since! ______ (Please note my previous name before adoption was Cherry!)“

  — Maurice D.

• “Vera is a pandemic puppy, has been socialized and introduced to a lot of different things since. Does very well with a variety of animals in home. She was raised with cats, snakes, iguanas and rodent. Even a few ducks. Vera was raised in home with a blue heeler (Vida) that passed away January 2023. Given her breed it's been very hard to socialize her in public. Vera unfortunately has been attacked numerous times by small dogs and a neighbors husky. Vida was her confidence and security and even after attacks she was seemingly unphased. After Vidas passing she's non stop in flight mode outside and reactive to some dogs coming at her too quick. We are working on it together and she has a new sister Koda to help her through it.“

  — Beatrice T.

• “Hi, I’m Vera. The only thing I might like more than meeting and getting pets from new people is chasing rabbits. I love to roll on my back and have my belly rubbed. I like a lot of my fellow dogs, but I am usually more interested in meeting their people and making a friend who will pet me. People are often surprised at how quiet I am. I only bark about once a week and that is usually to get my Mom’s attention to play with me. I am unbothered by other dogs barking or people making noise. But oddly, I do get really excited by the sounds of Amazon delivery vans backing up in my neighborhood and it makes me want to hop in the van and meet the driver. I am excited to visit your Sniff Spots and explore freely because I can never be off leash outside fully-fenced places. I am too curious and will go try to find mice and rabbits and it is very very hard to catch me. I can be sneaky.“

  — Garrett W.

• “Veras a sweet, happy dog. She gets along great with her brother, but can be reactive with other dogs.“

  — Kelly R.

• “I have a very strong prey drive, so small animals are a no-go, and I’m not good with other dogs, either. I’m also scared of strange people, and would strongly prefer that you not try to talk to me. I love my family, though, especially the kids, and at home, I am gentle and quiet with perfect manners. It just all falls apart as soon as I leave my own yard. This had made things like going to the vet or just going on adventures a stressful process for me, so my family is trying to get me to explore new places in a manner that won’t wind up with me being scared and only trying to get back to the car to go home.“

  — Victoria S.

• “Vera is a very good dog with a lot of interest to explore. She is moderate to be redirected by command and loves the reward and praise of performing a given command“

  — Candice S.

• “Vera (aka Bumi) is my energetic youngster known for her absolutely silly yet loving demeanor.“

  — Jenn O.
