• “Hiiiiiii! I'm Wesson but my mom calls me Wes, budgie, and stinky boy. I love the outdoors and playtime, but do not have great recall, and like to chase lizards and reflections while ignoring my mom. So she said we can find fun fenced in places to play! I love meeting new people, but play a little too rough for other dogs sometimes. I am big and fast and need space to stretch my legs!“

  — Hayley B.

• “Hi! I’m Wesson, I am a 4 year old German Shepherd. I am really friendly if greeted properly. Mom tells me I am the goodest boy all the time like 10x a day, sesh. Whenever mom or dad gives me a command or makes me listen I usually don’t ever hesitate to just listen to them. I looooooove to play ball and run around the yard, I even love the water hose! Sometimes I get so excited I started to scream, talk about anxiety! I’m a Mama’s boy so I will never stray away from her or the rest of my family. I’m a big family guy, I love my family :)“

  — Cheyanne V.

• “Howdy! My name is Wesson. I grew up with my Dad and my Grandparents on a farm in eastern Washington. Now, I am enjoying my retirement with my Dad and our favorite lady human here in Snohomish. I love running around in wide-open spaces and checking in on the neighbor’s and their chickens. I had an awesome feline sister named Smith, we were best buds and I miss her every day. I do LOOOOOOVE to play fetch. Sometimes a little too much. I think playing fetch with you is way more fun and interesting than running around with other dogs. I like other dogs, but I like you more. And I will LOVE you EVEN MORE if you throw the ball!“
